How To Measure

Measuring for blinds is simple and straightforward. It’s important that you give us accurate measurements, so take a look at our handy step-by-step video guides and pdf instructions, which will help you to get it right.

The first thing you need to decide is whether your blind will fit to the inside or the outside of your window recess.

Once you have decided where your blind will fit, simply watch the relevant video.

Measuring Basics

  • Always try and use a metal tape measure, you will get a more accurate result
  • Have a paper and pen ready to write your measurements straight down
  • Look out for things like window handles or tiles. You’ll need to take their position into account to ensure a perfect fit!
  • Double check you are entering your measurements in mm, cm or inches

Important note for measuring Roller blinds

Roller blinds do not have headrails. Instead the Roller blind fabric is ‘rolled’ around a barrel of the same width, and control fittings are added to either end. We use the width measurement you provide us with to assemble the barrel and control fittings to the correct size. This means that the fabric of the blind will be narrower than the measurement you provide. Before you order your blind it is very important for you to check that the fabric will be wide enough to cover the glazed area of your window. This table tells you how much narrower your fabric will be than the top part (the barrel and control fittings) of your blind.

Important note for measuring Vertical blinds

When measuring the drop of a Vertical blind, make sure you measure down to the top of the sill or the floor and take note that we will deduct 1cm from your measurement to make sure the louvres operate smoothly. We will do this for both recess and exact measurements.

Lifetime Warranty

Bolton Blinds are proud to give a lifetime warranty on all custom-made products. All custom-made products are warrantied to be free from manufacturing defects in materials, mechanisms (cord locks and tilt gears) and components (brackets, wands, caps, etc.), which make up the blinds or curtains. In the event a Blindtex blind is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, we will, at our discretion, repair, or replace the product, which fails to conform to this warranty.

Please note that colour may vary from batch to batch on some styles, and that we periodically discontinue certain styles and colours. On discontinued items, we reserve the right to substitute warrantied product with the nearest colour or style of equivalent or greater value on current products. That said, we would make every effort to match current style and colour. In the event that warrantied product is not repairable, and cannot be replaced with the original style and colour (i.e. discontinued), it will be replaced free of charge with the closest available product. If you have matching blinds we will not replace all the blinds if just one is defective.

The warranty is valid for Blindtex Blinds manufactured products only. To obtain the warranty service, the purchaser must return damaged blind along with invoice or original sales receipt to the store they purchased from. This warranty does not cover any product, which fails due to accident, alteration, misuse, abuse, misapplication, improper handling, improper installation (if not fitted by dealer), and improper operation or cleaning. It excludes damage from animals or insects, normal wear and tear (common cosmetic issues related to extended use, including fraying, fading or discoloration due to prolonged sunlight, exposure or damage from salt air. Loss of pleating is not covered if the product is not being cycled (held in the raised position for a portion of the time).

Wood and natural woven blinds are made from natural materials. As such, the following are to be considered as naturally inherent characteristics: variations in colour, grain and texture, natural markings (knots, mineral deposits, etc.), minor bowing or warping of slats, reeds and natural materials. In addition, excessive warping of wood blinds or natural woven shades are excluded if installed in a high humidity area.

This warranty does not cover cost associated with warranty service which includes, but is not limited to, transportation costs to and from our dealers, costs of removal, re-measure or reinstallation of product, or any incidental or consequential damages.

Motors may have their own warranty and are not cover under this guarantee. If a product is replaced then the guarantee is not carried over to the new product.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and limitations, and you may have other rights by law. None of our employee has the authority to increase or alter the obligation of this warranty. This warranty is non-transferable. We also reserve the right to refund you the full value (at the time of purchase) of the product instead of a remake.
