Not confident with a tape measure?

Why take the risk and measure wrong, it could prove to be expensive

Let MyFitter worry about it instead.

By using our measuring service one of our experienced curtain fitters will take the exact measurements of your windows and discuss any options available with you, and offer advice if needed.

This means you can rest assured your curtains or blinds will fit perfectly and function correctly.

Our experienced curtain fitters can offer you advice on all the options available for your bay window tracks or poles.

However, as every window is different we recommend that a site survey is carried out before we provide you with an accurate quote. We can then take accurate measurements around your bay window noting the size, shape, and any unusual features. That way you can be sure that whatever you decide upon will fit perfectly and operate correctly.

Exact width

Do not use this if your blind is inside a recess. You can give this size if you want your blind to cover the window opening (Outside the recess). We suggest you add 10cm at the top and at least 5cm either side to ensure adequate coverage.

If measuring an existing blind, measure across the width of the blind only and ignore any brackets.

Recess size

Take the measurement inside the recess. Do not deduct anything from this size, we will do that to make sure your blind fits perfectly.

We suggest you take 3 measurements and use the smallest one. This will allow for any unevenness and ensure your blind fits.

Exact width

If measuring an existing blind, measure across the width of the fabric only and ignore any brackets.

The size of the finished blind will be around 35mm (3.5cm) wider than the width of the fabric.

Fixing Height

Measure the distance from the floor to the height at which the product will be installed.

In order to comply with the British safety standard EN13120, or UK equivilant, child safety devices must be installed alongside your product.

In addition the control must be a certain height from the floor. This measurement is required in order to calculate the control length for the product.

More information about child safety can be found via the footer links or the Make It Safe website (opens in new window).

Standard Roll

The fabric comes of the back of the blind, close to the glass. This is the best way to maximise insulation and light control.

It is considered the standard option in the industry.

Reverse Roll

The fabric comes forward off the blind, away from the glass. Ideal for clearing obstructions such as handles or winders. It also hides the roller itself and creats a valnce effect. Not recomended for outside recess fitting as there is an increased gap down the sides.

Left control

The control mechanism is on the left of the product as you face it.

Right control

The control mechanism is on the right of the product as you face it.

Premium Satin - Ivory

Our Premium Satin lining helps to protect your curtains or blind from light, and filters the light entering your room slightly, allowing curtains to flow naturally. Ideal for living rooms and dining areas where light control is not critical.
