Measuring Guide
- How do I measure for blinds?
It’s something that we get asked how to do all the time, so you will be happy to know our easy-to-follow guide has all your bases covered. Here’s everything you need to know for our New Zealand windows.
- Reach for your metal tape measure - its the very best tool for the job.
- You only need to know the width and the drop (length) - its that easy.
- You will need to select between the three options for fitting...
1) Measuring for Inside Fitting Blinds
- Step 1: Measure the width of the inside of the frame; across the top, bottom and middle. Write down the smallest of the three measurements.
- Step 2: Measure the drop (length) of the inside of the frame across the left, middle and right. Write down the smallest of the three.
- Step 3: Check that you have enough clear space inside the window to mount the blind. you will need 60 mm for a single roller blind and 100 mm for a double roller blind.
- Step 4: When ordering your blind, select the “inside (Frame)” option.
- Step 5: When ordering your blind, select “front roll” option. This means that the fabric will roll off the front of the roll to avoid any latches, or other hardware inside the frame.
Important Tip for Inside Fitting Roller Blinds
Take into account that you are measuring for the placement of the brackets, not the width of the fabric. On a roller blind, the fabric will be approximately 32 mm narrower than the width you order (to allow for the operating mechanism and brackets).On a venetian blind we will only deduct 6mm each side to allow for fitting and the brackets.
Remember to take no deductions off the width and height measurements, but to record the exact size in the width and height boxes on our website.2) Measuring for Outside Fitting Blinds:
- Step 1: Measure the outside of your window recess from one side to the other. You should be starting and finishing where you want the outside edges of the brackets to be.
- Top Tip: For best results allow your blind to overlap the edges of the recess by at least 50 mm on each side. - ensuring that you have enough space to accommodate the suggested overlap.
- Step 2: Measure your recess from top to bottom, starting from where you want the brackets to be and ending where you want the bottom of the blind to be.
- Step 3: When ordering your blinds, select the “outside” fit option.
- Step 4: When ordering your blinds, select back roll. This means that the fabric will roll off the back of the roll to ensure the fabric stays close to the architrave for maximum privacy and light control.
Important Tip for Outside Fitting Roller Blinds
Take into account that you are measuring for the placement of the brackets, not the width of the fabric. On a roller blind, the fabric will be approximately 32 mm narrower than the width you order (to allow for the operating mechanism and brackets).On a venetian blind we will only deduct 6mm each side to allow for fitting and the brackets.
Remember to take no deductions off the width and height measurements, but to record the exact size in the width and height boxes on our website.3) Measuring for Blinds to be Mounted on an Architrave
- Step 1: Measure across from outside edge of architrave to outside edge of architrave. Again, you should be starting and finishing where you want the outside edge of the brackets to be this will be your width measurement
- Step 2: Measure from the top to the bottom of your archtrave, this will be where your blind brackets sits at the top and where the bottom of your blind finishes - this will be your height measurement.
- Step 3: When ordering your blinds select the “Architrave” fit option.
- Step 4: When ordering your blinds select the “back” roll option. This means the fabric will roll off the back of the roll to ensure the fabric stays close to the architrave for maximum privacy, light control and better insulation.
Important Tip for Architrave Fitting Roller Blinds
Take into account that you are measuring for the placement of the brackets, not the width of the fabric. On a roller blind, the fabric will be approximately 32 mm narrower than the width you order (to allow for the operating mechanism and brackets).On a venetian blind we will only deduct 6mm each side to allow for fitting and the brackets.
Remember to take no deductions off the width and height measurements, but to record the exact size in the width and height boxes on our website.

Posted on 10th May 2023 by Jenny from MorrinsvilleWe love our house lot of blinds! So easy or order and put up and they look great in our new build. All well made, fit perfectly and really well priced. Great service and loved the free samples that we received which helped us decide on the colours and fabric. Great service all round, would highly recommend :-)
Posted on 8th February 2023 by Michelle from WhanganuiI have ordered many blinds over the years from Rods and Blinds. I am consistently impressed with the quality of the blinds and this purchase was no exception. They are competitively priced compared to the 'other guys' and if you're prepared to wait a little longer for your blinds they are well worth the wait. Installation was easy, and my blinds look great. Thanks again
Posted on 18th January 2023 by Sonya from ChristchurchAmazing venetian-blinds at such a good price, LOVE that they're locally made! Makes the house looks so fancy. My only suggestion is better instructions on how to install the venetians, maybe a quick vid on the website or You Tube. Absolutely highly recommend Rods and Blinds! A+++++

Posted on 1st October 2021 by Janene from WellingtonI am absolutely rapt with my venetian blinds. They arrived quickly and the workmanship is is of extremely high quality.

Posted on 6th July 2020 by ANN from WhangareiTook a few days longer than indicated to deliver, but ordered during the Christmas holiday period, so understandable. Blinds are great - easy to install and excellent quality. Amazing value for money compared with blinds bought off the shelf which then need to be cut down.
Posted on 18th February 2020 by RodIt was great that my mistake (measuring in cm's instead of mm's) was quickly picked up by your staff and an e-mail sent for me to correct it, which ensured that I received my blinds quickly.

Posted on 22nd December 2019 by Jake from TurangiVery happy with product...I will be doing all my windows over time. Have loved the blinds since my first order in 2016 when I was based in Cambridge. Not too keen on courier company tho...difficult communication and they did not follow delivery instructions. Would prefer not to use them again.
Posted on 7th November 2019 by Vicky from PaeroaQuality fittings and products, Excellent professional services, highly recommended!
Posted on 19th September 2019 by Isa AucklandAmazing service and incredible product. Thank you so much for making fitting out our house so easy!
Posted on 31st July 2019 by Matt and Daniella from CambridgeIn the past the customer service was great but on this order not so great & I had to chase this order which isn't ideal.
Posted on 2nd July 2019 by Judy from WhangareiReally delighted with the blind. Fits perfectly, easy to follow instructions to put up. Delivered on time and best of all looks great!! Thanks.
Posted on 29th June 2019 by Allan from Western Bay of PlentyReally great product and super easy to install. We should have ordered them a long time ago!!
Only small issue with the dispatch date being overdue, but quick to reply to an enquiry email in regards to this.
Thanks :)
Hard to get hold of you, had to leave 2x voicemail messages, write 2 emails and leave a FB message before I received a reply. If product is going to be delivered late, it would be good to update the client about this.
Posted on 3rd May 2019 by Nicole from Papamoa BeachExcellent service and very pleased with the blinds. Would definitely buy from this company again.
Posted on 18th April 2019 by Penelope Lacey Cambridgefantastic product and service, very happy indeed. thank you very much.
