WINDOW MEASURING
The hints on this page are a guide to help the home owner write up basic measurements of blinds, shutters, awnings or curtains to take to their local window furnishing retailer for a quote. By having the measurements written up in a consistent format then both the customer and the retailer will have a better indication that the estimation will be reasonably close to the mark.
Please note :The window furnishings industry measure WIDTH x HEIGHT not the other way around.
.
Basic Measuring Guidelines Below:
a. Window furnishings are always measured as Width (A) x Drop (B).
b. All measurements are to be in millimetres.
c. Measure where you want your blinds, shutters, awnings or curtains to be fitted.
d. Work clockwise (left to right) around your home and work clockwise within a room.
