How To Measure Custom Fit Full Blockout Cassette/Roller Blind Guide
At Blinds Downunder we have put together an explanation video and written guides on how to measure different window and door configurations for your selected Custom Fit Full Blockout Cassette/Roller Blind System and Top and Sides Cassette/Roller Blind Cassette System.
Measuring Instructions
Items you will need
1)Steel Tape measure (All measurements to be documented in millimetres)
2)Print Measurement form or populate Measurement form online
3)Pen and Paper
Important notes;
1) Always document the room your Full Blockout Cassette/Roller Blind will be installed. You may wish to sketch a plan of blind locations as reference. Hang onto both your Measurement form/sketch and file for future reference.
2)Always measure every window individually, check measurements in a minimum of three different locations. Windows can sometimes be out of square.
3)Always measure the width measurement and then the drop measurement in that order. Make sure you write measurements to the exact millimetre.
4) Always document the side you wish your control to be positioned, at time of measurement.
5) Always look for any obstructions ie; door/window hardware, which may interfere with your Full Blockout Cassette/Roller Blind / Top Cassette and Sides functionality. Most doors will require a Top and Sides Cassette Only, rather than a Full Cassette System, as the bottom rail will interfere with the walkway.
6) Never take measurement directly from your house plans or window schedules as this will most likely not be accurate.
7) Always Triple check your measurements and blind details you have documented.
8) Our blind manufactures deduct the correct tolerances for your Full Blockout Cassette/Roller Blind to fit. It is important to input your measurements to the exact size. It is always recommended if you are finding it difficult to differentiate between one millimetre, you write down the lesser measurement. If you would prefer we do not deduct from your recess fit measurements, add 2mm extra to the width and drop. The 2mm deduction is noted on our order page.
9) If you are measuring with someone else, make sure everyone is reading the tape measure the same way, before you start measuring the entire house lot of blinds. Make sure to read all measurements out aloud and confirm measurements by repeating your assistant’s measurement, especially before writing the finalised measurements on your measurement form.
10) Once you have completed the Measurement form, transfer these details to our Full Blockout Cassette/Roller Blind Selection Page. Triple check the information you are entering relates to your Measurement form, as you go. Always check your information is correct prior to proceeding with purchase.
