How to Measure for Twist Fit Roller Blinds

TwistFit Roller Blinds are designed to fit within your window recess using a tensioned headrail, which means you should measure the recess. Due to the fitting mechanism, the method used to measure for twist and fit blinds is different from that used for standard roller blinds.

Measuring the Recess for TwistFit Roller Blinds for Recess Fitting

TwistFit blinds are held in place by a tensioned headrail which is fitted at the top of the window recess. We recommend taking your recess measurements exactly where the blinds will be installed, using the following method.

 

 

1. Measure the width by taking measurements across the window recess at the exact point you plan on fitting the blind.

2. Measure the drop of the window by taking three measurements down the length of the window recess. From top to bottom, measure the drop at the left, centre, and the right.

3. Note down the shortest measurement and use when ordering to ensure your blind fits snugly within the recess.

4. Enter your measurements on your chosen TwistFit product and select “recess” fit.

Is your Window Recess Partially Tiled?

Generally, partially tiled recesses are not compatible with TwistFit blinds, however this will depend on how far your tiles protrude. You can call our customer support team for assistance in the case your window recess is tiled.

Things to Note:

When measuring the recess for TwistFit roller blinds, we recommend taking your recess measurements exactly where the blinds will be installed. Rather than measuring the width in 3 different places like we suggest for our standard rollers, take your width measurement from the top of the recess to ensure they fit tightly.

For recess measuring, do not make any deductions yourself, we will make all required adjustments to ensure your blind fits perfectly.

Please be aware the fabric width will be approximately 3.5cm less than the overall width of the blind (which includes all mechanisms). E.g. if you provide a measurement of 100cm, your blind will arrive 100cm bracket to bracket, while the actual fabric will only measure approx 96.5cm wide.
