How To Measure Panel Glide Blinds

Configuration

It is important to note that Panel Blinds can only be face fitted. Our Panel Blinds can have a minimum of 3 panels, and a maximum of 5 panels

Measure the exact width of architrave.

Note: Add 50-100mm on both sides.

Measure the drop from the top of architrave to where you would like the blind to finish.

Note: We recommend measuring 10mm above the floor.

Note: We recommend measuring 50-100mm past the sill.

It is important to understand the size of the panels to ensure you are happy with the finished product.

To illustrate how this is done, we will do the calculations on an example track of 3000mm wide with 5 panels, see image 1.
Each overlapping panel requires 70mm of overlap, see image 2. If the blind has 5 panels, there would be 4 instances of overlap.
Multiply the 70mm overlap by the number of times the panels overlap, this gives you the total measurement of overlap
70mm X 4 = 280
Add the total measurement of overlap to the total width of the window, this will give you the total width of all panels.
3000 + 280 = 3280
Divide the total width of all panels by the number of panels, this will give you the width of the individual panels.
3280 ÷ 5 = 656
