How to Measure for Your New
Window Furnishing

• Width: Measure the inside of the window frame in 3 places from left to right – at the top, in the middle and down the bottom, as shown. Record the smallest measurement.
• Height: Measure the inside of the window frame in 3 different places from top to bottom – on the right side, in the middle and on the left side, as shown. Record the smallest measurement.

• Depth required: To ensure there is
  enough room for the shutters to operate freely. Keep things like shutter handles in mind – do you want handles sticking out further than the level of the wall?

• Diagonal: Measure from bottom left corner to the top right corner, then from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. If the measurements vary too
  much, your window is out of square. This may sound bad, we’ll make sure you don’t notice a thing.

• Width: Measure the exact width and height
  of the area you would like the shutters to cover. We recommend the shutters overlap the window by at least 50mm on each edge.
  If you have an architrave we recommend measuring from outside of architrave to outside of architrave.

• Depth required:To ensure there is enough room for your blinds to operate freely, keep things like shutter width. If the individual slats stick out further than the wall when fully open, they damage easier. Consider moving the blind back, if possible, or selecting another design.

• Width: Measure the exact width and height of the area you would like the shutters to cover. We recommend the shutters overlap the window by at least 50mm on each edge. If you have an architrave we recommend measuring from outside of architrave to outside of architrave.

• Measure the exact width you would like the curtain to cover. The measurement of the track will be the same as the curtain width. For best light reduction we recommend the curtain extend 150-200mm either side of the window or door opening.

• As the track sits behind the curtain with Pinch Pleating, measure the exact height you would like the curtain to cover.

• Measure the exact height you would like the curtain to cover. Keep in mind that the track sits directly above the curtain, so allowances need to be made for best fit.

Curtains mounted on the inside of the window or door frame, known as inside mount or top fix, is fairly simple: just measure the width and height of the opening in 3 places; the shortest measurement is what your curtain will be.

• Start by measuring the area that you want the awning to cover. This will dictate how far the awning should extend.

• Check the direction of the awning in relation to the sun – most homes with East or West facing walls don’t need an awning that extends more than 3-4 metres due to shadows naturally falling into the range of the awning.
• If your wall faces North or South, we recommend going for the greatest size possible. Even your width should be 50-60cm feet larger than your covered space on either side, instead of the usual 20 cm.

• To get your height measurement, mark where on the wall you would like to hang the awning and add 20-25 cm inches above the mark. This will give you your height range for where you can hang your awning.

• Retractable awnings require around 25 cm of clearance when hung over openings, such as windows or doors, for the enclosure that the awning retracts into.

• Getting your width measurement is easier: just measure the length of your wall!

• Width: Measure the inside of the window frame in 3 places from left to right – at the top, in the middle and down the bottom, as shown. Record the smallest measurement.

• Height: Measure the inside of the window frame in 3 different places from top to bottom – on the right side, in the middle and on the left side, as shown. Record the smallest measurement.

• To get your screen height, measure inside the recess of the window where the screen will be located. Measure both the left and right edges, then deduct 2-3 mm to allow fitting clearance and record the smallest measurement.

• To calculate the recess width, and using a solid ruler, measure the width of your recess.
• Screen Width:Measure inside the recess of windows where screen will be located, top and bottom then deduct 2-3 mm to allow fitting clearance and record the smallest measurement.

• Start by measuring the area that you want the roof to cover. Where your space is located may determine the type of roofing solution that suits your needs. Is your roof going to be exposed to heavy rain and hail? What about wind?

• Your next consideration is height – this entails a little more than just being able to fit the tallest person in your family under it. Factors like fixing points, walls and trees will also need to be considered when determining your roofing solution’s height.
