We’ve all been tempted by a good-looking deal online—type in your measurements, click ‘order’, and boom… new blinds or shutters on the way. But here’s the truth: if you get that measuring wrong by even 1cm, it can all go wrong very quickly.
We recently saw a perfect example. A customer ordered blinds online, only to find out when they arrived that the blind didn’t fit. The kitchen window was measured 1cm too small. That small mistake meant the entire blind was useless—and the money spent on it went straight down the drain.
Measuring windows properly isn’t just about height and width. It’s about knowing what to allow for: recess depth, obstructions, frames, mounts, angles in bay windows, and more. That’s where years of experience make all the difference.
