Wooden Blind - Squared Bay

Measuring for Wooden Blinds

Measuring for Square / Box Windows
Front Primary

Your front blind will span the entire width of your bay window. The two side return blinds will overlap the large blind at the front.

Measure the width - Front

Measure the full width of the long window at the front of your bay window.
Use this as the width measurement for your front window blind.

Obstruction checks

Check your obstruction depth

Measure the distance from the frame of your window to the outside of any obstructions, such as handles or vents. Make a note of this measurement.

Calculate the depth

For your front window blind, add the depth of any window obstructions such as handles to the depth of the headrail. For wooden blinds this is 7.5cm.

Helpful Hints

Calculation example

If your window handle protrudes 4cm from your window frame, your calculation would be 7.5cm + 4cm. So a total depth of 11.5cm.

Take note of your total depth

You will need your total depth measurement to accurately measure the width of your return blinds in the steps to follow.

Mark your total depth

Mark the total depth of your front window blind on each side of your square bay window.

Measure side windows

Measure from the total depth mark (which includes the depth of the blind headrail) to where you would like your return blind to finish. This is the width measurement of your return blind. Repeat this step for both return blinds.

Measure the drop

Measure the height of your square bay window in three places.
Use the smallest measurement as your drop for all blinds.

Final step

Now enter your width and drop measurement, then select Recess as your sizing option. Repeat the process for your side window 1 and 2.
