How to measure: Blackout Roller Blind

Measure the width:

When ordering a blackout roller blind, enter the total width including the brackets.

Please note that the actual roller blind fabric will be 4 cm narrower than the ordered width, as the brackets add approximately 2 cm on each side.

Example: A roller blind ordered at 100 cm width will have a fabric width of approximately 96 cm.

Installation inside a recess:
If the roller blind is to be installed inside a window recess, we recommend subtracting 1 cm from the recess width when ordering to ensure that the roller blind fits properly.

Measure the length:

Measure from where you want the roller blind to be installed down to the desired bottom point.

If the roller blind is not intended to end at a windowsill, we recommend adding 10–20 cm of extra length, allowing you to lower the blind further below the window when needed.

Roller blind behind a Roman blind:

To install a roller blind behind a Roman blind, the Roman blind needs to be mounted using 7 cm brackets (sold separately) and positioned slightly higher than usual.

A gap of approximately 15 cm between the top edge of the Roman blind and the top edge of the roller blind bracket is needed to prevent the two blinds from interfering with each other.

Measuring together with a Roman blind:

Window with trim:

• Order the roller blind in the same width as the distance from the outer edge of the trim to the outer edge of the trim on the opposite side.
• The Roman blind should be at least 2 cm wider than the roller blind.

Window without trim:

• Order the roller blind at least 14 cm wider than the window itself.
  This allows the fabric to extend approximately 5 cm beyond each side of the window.
• The Roman blind should be at least 2 cm wider than the roller blind.

Good to know:

The roller blind brackets are included and affect the total ordered width. The fabric itself is therefore always slightly narrower than the width you order.
