How to Measure Honeycomb Blinds
Measuring for honeycomb (pleated) blinds is simple and quick. Grab a metal tape measure, pen, and paper, and follow our easy guide and video tutorial to get the right measurements for your new blinds.
Inside Recess
For mounting the blind inside your window recess follow these instructions.
Measure the width of your window recess in three places, top middle and bottom. Use the smallest measurement as your width.
Measure the drop of your window recess in three places, top middle and bottom. Use the smallest measurement as your drop.
Select your product, enter your width and drop measurements, and choose the Inside Recess sizing option. Deductions: When you select Inside Recess, we will make a small deduction to the width of your blind to accommodate the brackets.
Recess Obstructions
Factor in Obstructions
If you have obstructions within your recess e.g. tiles, measure between these two points and use this as your width measurement.
Blind Size
To mount the blind outside the window recess and overlap on all sides, follow these instructions.
Decide how much overlap you want your blind to have on each side of your window recess. Measure this width.
Measure the distance from where you want the top of the blind to start to where you want the bottom to finish. This measurement is your drop.
Go to your chosen product, enter your width and drop measurements, and select "Blind Size" as your sizing option. Note: When you select the "Blind Size" option, we will not make any deductions to your measurements. The size you provide will be the span from one bracket to the other.
