Measuring Instructions

 Items you will need

1)Steel Tape measure (All measurements to be documented in millimetres)

2)Print Measurement form or populate Measurement form online

3)Pen and Paper  

 Important notes;

1) Always document the room your blind will be installed. You may wish to sketch a plan of blind locations as reference. Hang onto both your Measurement form/sketch and file for future reference.

2)Always measure every window individually, check measurements in a minimum of three different locations. Windows can sometimes be out of square. Refer to specific measurement documents: Face Fit, Face Fit No Architraves, Recess Fit. C70 cassette Pelmet information (Zebra Blind Image), which can be found at bottom of this page. 

3)Always measure the width measurement and then the drop measurement in that order. Make sure you write measurements to the exact millimetre.

4) Always document the side you wish your Chain Drive or motor to be positioned, at time of measurement.

5) Always look for any obstructions ie; door/window hardware, which may interfere with your Zebra blind’s functionality. As the Zebra Blind fabric is looped, the fabric sits both like a back roll and front roll roller blind. Make sure operation is possible for recess fit.

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 blind details you have documented.

8) Our blind manufactures deduct the correct recess tolerances for your Zebra Blinds to fit. 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. 

9) 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.

10) Once you have completed the Measurement Form, transfer these details to our selections page Zebra Blind Featuring Premium Louvolite Vision Fabrics at the top of the page. Triple check the information you are entering relates to your Measurement Form, as you go. Always check your information is correct prior to proceeding with purchase that is in your cart.
