Measuring guide - How to measure for your new natural roller blinds
Getting the right fit for your natural roller blinds starts with accurate measurements.
First step is to choose if you are measuring for a roller blind with a chain pull, or a roller blind with a cord pull.
Accurate measurement is absolutely essential
Incorrect measurements can lead to a too tight or loose fit and ultimately result in a bad experience. This guide will help you achieve professional results every time and ensure your new roller blinds fit as they should.
Choose the right measurement method
There is a difference in how you measure depending on whether your roller blind has a cord pull or a chain pull.
By choosing the right method, you avoid errors and ensure optimal functionality.
Step-by-step measuring guide
- Prepare tools – use a metal tape measurer.
- Write down several measurements – measure both width and height 2–3 times to avoid errors.
- Inside vs. outside mount – note whether the roller blind should be inside the frame or outside, and follow the measurement guide.
- Check the angles – many doors and windows are not 100% straight. If necessary, take measurements at several points for precision.
Tips for accurate measurement
- Always measure in millimeters, not just centimeters – this reduces the risk of deviations.
- Take into account any handles, moldings or obstacles.
- Make notes or use an app to store your measurements securely.
