Please Note:
****Always be aware, most boat windows open to the inside of the cabin, double check when ordering blinds that the open window will not interfere with your chosen blind.****
​
-
All measurements should be provided in cm
-
Always use a metal tape measure when taking the measurements.
-
When asked for 'Fitting height', please give this accurately. This is important so we can calculate the length of the operating cords to comply with the 'Child safety' regulations.
-
The 'Fitting height' is the measurement from where the top of the blind is to be fitted, to the floor.
​
Recess Size
**** Very important - If you are measuring inside a window recess, please state "RECESS" when asked for Exact width and drop*****
​
This is the measurement you need to make if the blind needs to fit inside the window recess. Measure the width and the drop in three different positions ensuring you provide us with the smallest measurement.
We will make any necessary deductions to ensure the blind fits neatly within the recess of the window.
Exact Size
​
An exact size blind is also known as ‘finished blind size’. This is the measurement you need to make if the blind needs to hang outside the recess overlapping the window. Decide how much you wish to overlap the recess at each side, we recommend at least 6cm at each side as well as the top and bottom so as to minimise as much external light bleed as possible. We will not make any deductions from the measurements provided.
​
Fabric Size. This applies to our 'Slowrise Roller Blinds' (Not in a recess)
​
Fabric size is the width of the fabric itself. When mechanisms and brackets are installed the overall width of the blind will be larger.
Simply measure the width and drop you require the fabric to cover. We will not make any deductions from the measurements provided. Please be aware that the mechanism of the 'Slowrise Roller Blind' is approximately 20mm wider than the fabric
width.
(Remember, if the blind is to be fitted into a recess state 'RECESS' when asked for Exact with and drop).
