Hey there! As a supplier of Luxury Zebra Blinds Fabric for Window, I've got a ton of experience in this field. Today, I'm gonna share with you how to measure for luxury zebra blinds fabric for your windows. It might seem a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty straightforward.
Why Accurate Measurement Matters
Before we dive into the measuring process, let's talk about why getting accurate measurements is so important. When you're dealing with luxury zebra blinds fabric, you want it to fit your windows perfectly. A wrong measurement can lead to blinds that are too small, leaving gaps and not providing proper privacy or sun protection. On the other hand, blinds that are too large can look messy and might not operate smoothly. So, taking the time to measure correctly is definitely worth it.
Tools You'll Need
To measure for your luxury zebra blinds fabric, you'll need a few basic tools. A good-quality tape measure is a must. Make sure it's long enough to reach the full height and width of your window. A pencil and a piece of paper are also handy for jotting down your measurements. And if you're measuring a tricky window, like one with an irregular shape, a level can help you ensure your measurements are straight.
Measuring the Width
Let's start with measuring the width of your window. There are two main ways to measure the width: inside mount and outside mount.
Inside Mount
An inside mount means the blinds will be installed inside the window frame. To measure for an inside mount, start by measuring the width of the window frame at the top, middle, and bottom. Write down each measurement. The reason we measure in three places is that window frames can sometimes be slightly uneven. You'll want to use the smallest of these three measurements as your width for the blinds. This ensures that the blinds will fit snugly inside the frame.
For example, if you measure 36 inches at the top, 35.75 inches in the middle, and 35.5 inches at the bottom, you'll use 35.5 inches as your width measurement.
Outside Mount
An outside mount involves installing the blinds outside the window frame. This can be a good option if your window frame is too narrow or if you want more light blockage. To measure for an outside mount, decide how much wider you want the blinds to be than the window. A common choice is to add 2 to 4 inches on each side. So, measure the width of the window and then add the extra inches.
For instance, if your window is 36 inches wide and you decide to add 2 inches on each side, your width measurement for the blinds will be 40 inches.
Measuring the Height
Just like with the width, there are two ways to measure the height: inside mount and outside mount.
Inside Mount
For an inside mount, measure the height of the window frame on the left, middle, and right sides. Again, write down each measurement. Use the longest of these three measurements as your height for the blinds. This ensures that the blinds will cover the entire window from top to bottom.
For example, if you measure 48 inches on the left, 48.25 inches in the middle, and 48.5 inches on the right, you'll use 48.5 inches as your height measurement.
Outside Mount
When measuring for an outside mount, decide how far down you want the blinds to hang below the window. You might want them to cover the entire window sill or just a bit below the window. Measure from the top of where you'll install the blinds to the desired stopping point.
For instance, if you're installing the blinds 2 inches above the window and you want them to hang 4 inches below the window sill, measure from the installation point to the bottom of the sill plus 4 inches.
Special Considerations
If you have a window with a unique shape, like a bay window or a rounded window, measuring can be a bit more challenging. For bay windows, you'll need to measure each section of the window separately and then calculate the total width and height. You might also need to consider how the blinds will be installed around the corners.
For rounded windows, you can use a flexible measuring tape to get an accurate measurement of the curve. Keep in mind that you might need to order custom-made zebra blinds fabric to fit these types of windows.
