Check measurements in three spots each for both the width and the drop.The top measurement is the most crucial with the width.Your will need to plus an additional 50mm to the drop for the track thickness.With drop, if measurement is to floor, click our configurator for (Just Off Floor) for a 10mm deduction. This will allow smooth operation. You may wish to add more width to your Allusion Blind. Refer to point (5)

Recess Fit.

Measure inside recess to inside recess, as shown in Louvolite Allusion Blind video above. Check measurements in three spots each for both the width and the drop.The top measurement is the most crucial with the width. Our configurator takes off recess deductions. This will allow easy fit and smooth operation. ( Note: the recess fit Allusion Fabric will sit approximately 70-80mm off each side (vertical gap).

4) Always document the side you wish your wand or cord control to be positioned, at time of measurement.

5) Always look for any obstructions ie; door or windows opening method, door / window hardware, which may interfere with your blind’s functionality. Generally 75mm is sufficient depth in recess, provided there are no obstructions to fit in recess. This measurement provides a guide with an understanding that the minimum depth for the bracket may mean that the blinds and bracket project outside the window recess.

With Face Fit, you can plus extra width on the stack side(s), if you would like your Allusion Blind to clear the openings. The stack side is the side your would like your  Allusion Blind to open to. Allow approximately 180mm extra in width per metre.Take into consideration the architrave width.

(Example 3m long Allusion Blind + 180mm per metre = 3540mm - 70mm architrave =  3470mm track width.

6) Never take measurement directly from your house plans or window schedules as this will most likely not be accurate.

7) Always Triple check your measurements and Allusion blind details you have documented.

8) Our blind manufactures deduct the correct tolerances for your blinds to fit recesses. It is important to input your measurements to the exact size. It is always recommended, if you are finding it difficult to differentiate between one millimetre, you write down the lesser measurement. 

10) If you are measuring with someone else, make sure everyone is reading the tape measure the same way, before you start measuring the entire house lot of blinds. Make sure to read all measurements out aloud and confirm measurements by repeating your assistant’s measurement, especially before writing the finalised measurements on your measurement form.
