Measuring

Measured for a Perfect Fit

SmartBlock™ blinds are custom-made to fit your windows perfectly, so getting your measurements right is key to achieving true blackout performance. But don’t worry – our clear, step-by-step guides make it easy, even if you’re not a DIY expert. In fact, many customers go from measuring anxiety to tape-measure boss within minutes Whether you’re fitting your blinds inside the jamb for a clean, built-in look, or outside the jamb due to shallow jambs but still ensuring maximum light block, we’ve got you covered. Download our detailed PDF guides below, or follow the on-screen instructions for the most common option: inside the jamb. Prefer to leave it to the pros? We also offer an optional measuring and installation SERVICE for added peace of mind

Measure in 3 steps

1. Measure Width for Perfect SmartBlock™ Fit

With your trusty tape measure in hand, start by measuring the internal width of the window jamb where your SmartBlock™ blind will be installed For the most accurate result, measure the width in three places: at the top, across the middle, and near the bottom of the opening. Windows aren’t always perfectly square, and this simple step helps you catch any variations. Use the smallest of the three measurements – this ensures your SmartBlock™ system will fit neatly inside the frame for a flawless, sealed finish Make sure the tape is held level, and measure from inside edge to inside edge (wood to wood). If you're measuring a wide window or door, now’s a great time to call in a second pair of hands – sweeten the deal with the promise of dinner if needed! Record the smallest width in millimetres. This is what we’ll use to custom-make your complete blackout blind for the perfect fit

2. Measuring the Drop for Your SmartBlock™ Blind

Getting the drop (height) measurement right is just as important as the width – especially when it comes to achieving a true blackout result with your SmartBlock™ system. While we include a little extra fabric on the roll, an accurate drop ensures your blind fully seals the window from top to bottom, with no gaps for light to sneak in Using a tape measure, measure from the top inside edge of the jamb to the bottom inside edge (wood to wood), holding the tape straight and perpendicular to the sill. Double-check your reading and note it down in millimetres This precise measurement helps your SmartBlock™ complete blackout blind do exactly what it’s designed for – completely darken the room, eliminate light bleed, and deliver the comfort and privacy you’re after

Supplying accurate sizes ensures your custom blackout blinds are made to fit perfectly – maximising light control, privacy, and insulation
