What are made-to-measure blinds?

Unlike ready-made blinds, made-to-measure blinds are crafted specifically for your needs. That means instead of standard sizing where you might have to trim blinds to make them fit your windows, made-to-measure blinds come in the specific dimensions you order, meaning they fit perfectly and look gorgeous without any alterations.

What are the benefits of made-to-measure blinds?

There is a wide range of benefits to choosing made-to-measure blinds over those that come in ready-made sizing. Read about the most compelling below:

Huge selection of different made-to-measure blinds available.

No matter what your style, you’ll find a made-to-measure blind that suits your needs and aesthetics. Choose from a wide range of different types, such as roller blinds, vertical blinds, Roman blinds, Venetian Blinds, as well as blinds crafted from wood.

There are made-to-measure blinds designed for day use to keep your home cool and shady, and made-to-measure blinds designed for night use that block out dawn light and light from street lamps, ensuring you have the best night sleep possible.

Then there are the blinds you can get that are for specific spaces in your home, such as moisture-resistant blinds for the bathroom, and blackout blinds for the bedroom, ensuring the soundest night’s sleep.

Good for unusual-shaped or sized windows

Another major benefit of made-to-measure blinds is that they are ideal for those households that have unusually shaped or sized windows. Yes, that’s right, much to the chagrin of homeowners and householders. There are plenty of properties out there that do not have standard-sized windows, and so getting blinds to fit can feel like a nightmare. The good news is that this is not so with made-to-measure blinds, as they can be constructed at any width or length, ensuring a perfect fit to even the most unusual size or shape.

Great value

Made-to-measure blinds are also great value, even though they cost a little more than ready-made blinds. The reason is that they have been constructed to the exact measurements you provide (more on how to do this later), and that means there is no stressful or time-consuming cutting down to size. A process that, if you don’t do perfectly with ready-made blinds, can easily ruin them completely, meaning you’ll have to pay out for another.

Made-to-measure blinds couldn’t be easier to install

Since there is no cutting or trimming, all you need to do is install the brackets and then attach your blind. There are even no-drill options available that can easily be slotted into place without the use of any DIY tools!

How to measure windows for made-to-measure blinds.

Now you know all about the amazing benefits of made-to-measure blinds. It’s time to find out how to measure the windows in your home correctly for these blinds. Indeed, it’s crucial that you get this stage right, as your blinds will be crafted to the measurements you provide specifically.

The good news is that we have a few tips that will make sure you get the very best result:

1. Remember to measure the inside of your window opening or the outside of your window opening.

How to measure for blinds: The inside window opening

• In this stage, you are measuring the dimensions of the hole in the wall (recess) in which your window sits.
• First, measure the width of the width (horizontal) of this recess in three different spots.
• Use the lowest measurement you find.
• Do the same for the drop (vertical ) measurement.

How to measure for blinds: The outside window opening

• This is not for an outside window. Instead, it is the measurements that need to be taken from just outside or around the recess. This measurement is important because it will help make sure that your blind overlaps the window, giving it a proper fit.
• Measure the width (horizontal) of your window and then add 4” or 10cm.
• Measure the drop (vertical) of your window and do the same.

2. Remember that different types of blinds such as vertical, roller, and perfect fit, require slightly different measuring techniques, which you will find here, along with lots of other useful info and videos in our detailed made-to-measure blinds guide.

3. Remember that different blinds also require a slightly different installation process, so be sure that you read up / watch the relevant video for the type you have ordered. Then you will be fully prepared to install your made-to-measure blind in the fastest and least stressful way.
