How to measure windows for blinds
- Start by measuring the window width
- Then take the drop measurement – i.e. the length of your blind
- Next, measure the fitting height, which is from the floor to just above the top of your window. This is important as it’s a legal requirement that the blind chain is no longer than 1.5m from the floor. Taking this measurement gives the chain drop.
If possible, provide a photo of each window along with the measurements, showing the space above, below and around the window.
Make sure you provide your measurements in mm, stating the width first, then the drop.
