Measuring Guide for Aluminium Venetian blinds in an Angled Bay window
This guide works for:
• Venetian blinds
Here’s our handy guide to get you started for measuring for an Angled bay window:
Step 1
Before you start measuring, decide where you want to fit the blinds – you will need to allow for 30mm for our Venetian blinds headrail. Look out for obstacles like window handles or air vents that may get in the way. If you do, add these onto the depth of your brackets to create reference measurement point X.
As well as your measuring tape, you will need 2 pieces of paper/card (A4 or A5 is fine), a pencil and a ruler
Step 2
Place your two paper pieces side by side as shown and mark the X measurement taken before on both sheets.
Step 3
Position the paper against the window frame on the sill. Move the paper along the sill until you see the two marks meet.
Step 4
Use your pencil to lightly mark the window sill where the paper edge meets the frame.
Repeat for other angles in the frame.
Step 5
Measure the distance between the red marks to get the blind width.
Step 6
To measure your drop, take a measurement from the top of the blind to where you want it to rest – typically the window sill.
Once you have noted your measurements, enter the sizes into www.Blinds4You.co.uk/collections/venetian-blinds and choose the Exact fitting option. We will make your new blind to your sizes without deductions and send them out to you ready to fit.
