Measuring for new blinds isn’t difficult, however there are a few things to keep in mind
Make sure measurements are exact and in millimetres
Use a steel tape measure (not fabric) and make sure it is straight and tight
Measure each window individually even if they look the same, just to be sure
Please note on roller blinds your width is from the bracket to bracket. The fabric will be roughly 30-35mm smaller.
blinds ordered as inside fit, have slight deductions given to it fits nicely. outside fit blinds will be made to that size given. so, make sure you are measuring where the blinds is going. the blind will fit inside the measurements given.
