What you need to measure:

  1. Tape measure/ electric laser measurer
  2. Paper and pen/ phone

When measuring there are 3 different measurements you can take depending on your needs/window fitting, these are:

Reveal fit - Take the measurement from the inside of your architrave

Face fit - Take the measurement from the outside of your architrave

Custom – A custom measurement is done when you have no architraves or when you choose to do a floating curtain (in between cornice & architrave) or a cornice or ceiling fit curtain. 

For this measurement please note that the curtain brackets are 45mm tall. If you are measuring from floor to the edge of your window reveal another 50mm will need to be added so you can sit the bracket’s neatly in line with your reveal. 

Please take into consideration where your timber studs run.

Blinds & curtains require 1x width measurement & 1x drop measurement. *Note for curtains: measure drop each side of your window, if there is a difference we recommend going with the smallest measurement.

Shutters require 3x width measurements (top, middle, bottom) & 3x drop measurements (left, middle, right).
