How to Measure Windows for Blinds
Measure each opening carefully for made-to-measure 2-inch white faux wood Venetian blinds. Free Canada-wide shipping, valance and returns included.
Pull the tape across the inside of the casing, push it into the corner, read it where it bends, and write it down.
Three steps to record a window
- Measure the width. For an inside mount, measure left to right inside the casing near the top, middle and bottom. Use the smallest reading. Push the tape into each corner and read it where the tape bends.
- Measure the height. Measure from the sill up to the top of the casing at the left, centre and right. Use the largest reading for an inside mount.
- Write down both sizes. Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch if you can; whole inches are fine too. Choose the matching fraction when you enter the width and height.
Inside or outside mount?
An inside mount fits within the window casing and leaves the trim visible. Check that the recess has enough flat depth for the headrail and slats, and look for handles or other obstructions. Enter the opening size as measured; our workshop handles the fine deductions for inside mounts.
An outside mount attaches to the wall or trim and covers the opening. Measure the full area you want covered, including the overlap you want around the frame. Check the planned headrail position and nearby furniture or hardware before you order.
Measure every window separately
Even windows in one room can vary. Write down the room name and mount type beside each set of measurements, then review them before checkout. Our blinds are made to the submitted sizes, so contact support if a window shape or measurement is unusual.
