How to measure your windows for blinds

Before you begin measuring windows for installation, you must have and understand the following:

Measure in millimetres

When preparing to measure your windows for new blinds installation, keep in mind that the most professionals in the building and home service industry work with measures in millimetres. When requesting a price for your bespoke or ready-made blinds, using millimetres guarantees will ensure that there is no confusion about your needs.

Be precise

When measuring your windows, especially if you're installing an inside-mounted blind, it's important to be as precise as you can. While a few millimetres might seem insignificant, they can mean the difference between a good fit and a poor fit.

Maintenance

As stylish as indoor blinds are, they can be a bit of a hassle to maintain. Here are a few tips to help you keep your indoor blinds looking their best:

• Dust with a soft cloth or duster on a regular basis. This will help to prevent the buildup of dirt and dust, which can make your blinds look dull.
• Wipe them down with a damp cloth every now and then. This will help remove any stubborn dirt or stains.
• If your blinds have any intricate details, be sure to dust and clean them carefully to avoid damage.
• Every few months, vacuum your blinds with the brush attachment to remove any dust that has accumulated.
