*Apply To Vertical/Panel Glide Blinds
Reveal or Fix Face
Reveal – This is when you require your blind to fit inside the window recess.
Face – This is when you require your blind to be mounted on the outside of the window architrave.
Handy Hints
- Always use a steel tape
- Take all your measurements in millimetres (mm) to the nearest mm.
- When measuring, always look out for things like window and door handles, tiles, storm bars, moulded architraves and take their position into account if necessary.
- Pleasenote the side you wish the controls to be on.
- Make no deductions, exact measurements only.
3 STEPS TO FACE FIX MEASUREMENT:
- Measure the width from outside of the architrave to the other side.
- Measure the height from the top of the outside of architrave to the bottom outside of the architrave, or floor. Record down the measurement.
- Always record the width then the height measurement.
- If you have no architraves measure the opening size and make a note on your form so the sales staff can discuss this with you.

3 STEPS TO REVEAL FIX MEASUREMENT:
- Measure the width of the recess from edge to edge in three places as shown. Note down the shortest measurement – this is the one we’ll use.
- Measure the height by taking the measurement from the top edge to bottom edge in three places as shown. Record the shortest measurement.
- Always record the width then the height measurement.
*We advise that you recheck your measurements to ensure accuracy.
