How to measure for your new Blackout Blind?

Here’s an easy way to measure to make sure it fits your window.

Steps to install..

1. Measure the width of your window frame

  • Measure the width of the recess (the space inside the window frame) from one side to the other.
  • Maximum Fit: The blackout blind is 200cm (2000mm / 2m) wide.
  • If your window is wider than 200cm, consider using our Double Pack, which includes two blinds that can be placed side by side and either trimmed or adjusted to fit your window size.

2. Measure the height of your window frame

  • Measure the height of the recess (the space inside the window frame) from the top to the bottom.
  • Maximum Fit: The blackout blind is 121cm (1210mm / 1.21m) high.
  • If your window is taller than 121cm, consider using our Double Pack, which includes two blinds that can be placed side by side and either trimmed or adjusted to fit your window size.

3. Attach our Heavy-duty Suction Cups

  • Ensure that the surface where the suction cups will stick is flat, clean, and smooth.This is crucial for the suction cups to really grip the window.
  • If the blind doesn't fit perfectly or the suction cups don’t stick properly, adjust the positioning or try re-cleaning the window surface.

Test the fit and adjust to ensure there are no light leaks.
