When measuring, we recommend adding a minimum of  30cm to the finished drop of your window. This will then allow enough fabric to roll around at the top, and to finish the blind at the bottom. LONGER BLINDS: If you blind is longer than 150 cm, then you will need to order the finished length plus 30cm. For the width we suggest an additional 10cm (minimum 2cm) to allow you to get a good seal at the edge and then cut down to size.

When measuring, we recommend adding a minimum of 30cm to the finished drop of your window. This will then allow enough fabric to roll around at the top, and to finish the blind at the bottom. LONGER BLINDS: If your  blind is longer than 105 cm, then you will need to order the finished length plus 30cm. For the width we suggest an additional 10cm (minimum 2cm) to allow you to get a good seal at the edge and then cut down to size.
