Measure with confidence.
Our easy step-by-step measuring guides ensure your made-to-measure blinds fit perfectly the first time.
BEFORE YOU START
Before you start measuring
A few quick tips to help you get accurate measurements
and the perfect fit.
Use a metal tape measure
Fabric or plastic tapes can stretch and give inaccurate measurements.
Measure in millimetres (mm)
All our blinds are made to the nearest millimetre for the perfect fit.
Do not rely on old blind measurements
Even small changes to your window can affect the perfect fit.
Double-check all measurements
Always measure twice to ensure accuracy before placing your order.
STEP-BY-STEP MEASUREMENT
Follow these simple steps
1
Identify Your Roof Window Brand
Our Roof Blinds are designed for Velux®, Fakro®, RoofLITE® and Dakstra® roof windows. Before ordering, check which brand of roof window you have.
2
Locate the Window Identification Plate
Open your roof window and locate the identification plate. This is usually found on the top edge of the sash when the window is opened. The plate contains the manufacturer, window size and model code required to manufacture your blind.
3
Find Your Window Code
Locate the full window code on the identification plate (for example, Velux GGL MK04, Fakro FTP-V P06 or RoofLITE TR04). There is no need to measure your window, as your blind will be manufactured specifically for your window code.
4
Choose Your Blind
Browse our available colours and fabrics to find the perfect blind for your room. Once you’ve chosen your preferred option, make a note of the colour and your window code ready to submit your enquiry.
5
Send Your Enquiry
Complete our enquiry form with your chosen colour and window code, and our team will prepare a personalised quotation for you.
Please note: As all blinds are made to measure, a manufacturing tolerance of +/- 5mm applies. This is standard across the window blind industry and ensures your blind is manufactured within acceptable production tolerances.
