Measuring for a rollerblind with a cord pull for an L-shaped window, a corner or box-bay window
Step 1 – Determine the size of the roll
First you will need to know approximately which diameter size the fabric roll of the mounted roller blind will have. Please use this Determine the approximate size of the roll of the roller blind by using the table on the right.
Step 2 – Decide how to install the roller blinds
Then you need to determine how you would like to install the roller blinds in the windows. There are 3 different options to chose from.
A. The main front roller blind goes across the front, nearly from corner to corner. Then the side roller blinds are placed right up against the front blind.
B. The side roller blind goes all the way into the corner, and the front roller blind is installed next to side one. This option is great if the side window is smaller than our smallest roller blind size (30 cm).
C. This option does not work for all corner or box-bay windows. If the window frame in the corner is very small, we recommend using method A. or B. instead, to make sure that the roller blinds will cover the glass area.
Step 3 – Measure the roller blind width
If option Step 2, Option A. was chosen please use the following guide:
To measure for the front roller blind, just measure the full width from one side of the window sill to the other side. And then deduct 2 cm. This will be the finished width for the roller blind with a cord pull.
To measure for the side roller blind, measure the full width from one side of the window sill to the other side. Then deduct 2 cm. When you have this measurement, you need to deduct the measure of the fabric roll from Step 1.
This will be the finished size width of the roller blind.
If option Step 2, B. was chosen use the following guide:
To measure for the side roller blind, just measure the full width from one side of the window sill to the other side. And then deduct 2 cm. This will be the finished width for the roller blind with a cord pull.
To measure for the front roller blind, measure the full width from one side of the window sill to the other side. Then deduct 2 cm. When you have this measurement, you need to deduct the measure of the fabric roll from Step 1.
This will be the finished size width of the front roller blind.
If option Step 2, C. was chosen use the following guide:
Measuring is straight forward, just measure both front and side window, from one side of the window sill to the other side of the window sill. Then deduct 2 cm from each measurement. When you have these measurements you will have to deduct the measure of the fabric diameter roll from Step 1. This measure should be deducted from both the side roller blind and the front roller blind.
This will be the final width measurement for each roller blind.
Step 4 – Measure the roller blind drop
Measure from the top where the blind will be installed down to your desired end point (typically the window sill). Please measure all windows, especially in older windows these measures might differ. We advise to add 10 cm to this measure, as it gives the roller blind some weight in the bottom of the blind, making it easier and more steady to roll up and down. The final height measurement should be used when ordering the roller blind.
