Fryetts Rosa Summer Roman Blind

Inside or Outside the Recess?

First decide where you want the blind to hang this can be either inside the recess or outside of recess covering the frame? Inside the recess looks neater but you need to determine if there is suitable space for the top fittings to be screwed into the window. Outside the recess can make the window look but is ideal for windows with limited recess space.

Recess Measurement

Using a steel rule, take three measurements across the width of the recess make a note of the smallest measurement.

Do the same for the height(drop) inside the recess again making sure you take the smallest measurement.

Please note for recess measurements we will deduct 1cm from the width.

Outside Recess Measurement

It is advisable to allow an overlap of 75mm or 3(inch) to avoid any light gaps around your blind

Take the width of the window and add the desired overlap to either side of the blind.

Measure the height(drop) of the blind and add the desired overlap to the top and bottom of the blind. If the blind is to sit on a window sill then only add the overlap to the top of the blind.
