Width
Roman blinds are a perfect choice for box-bay windows. As the material
hides the mechanics of the blind, all you see is the fabric that you
selected. By following this guide, the blinds will almost meet in the
corners without overlapping, this means that all three blinds operate
smoothly.
When measuring, first of all take the measurements
directly into the corners of the bay for both the front and the sides.
For the width of the blind for the front, reduce the corner to corner
measurement by 90mm (9cm), this will allow for the 45mm space that is
required either side. For the widths of the side blinds, reduce the
corner to corner measurement by 45mm (4.5cm).
All three blinds would then be ordered as ‘exact fitting’ through our website.
Drop
This is the same for all three blinds, even if you find that one window
is longer than the others. This will ensure that when the roman blinds
are lowered, they will all sit level. The measurement will be from the
point where the blind is being mounted down to the window sill. Remember
that you will need a flat space of at least 30mm (3cm) to mount the
brackets securely. Measure the drop for all three windows and use the
smallest of the three.
IMPORTANT!
Always
check the widths in three places as you would for a regular recessed
windows. Bay windows are prone to movement and you may find that the
widths vary even if at first glance the windows look even. It is always
the smallest of three measurements that you should be working with.
