Made to Measure Roller Blinds
Are Roller Blinds suitable for a bay window?
Yes they are very well suited to bay windows. Three blinds or more can sit side by side in a bay window. It is a great choice if you want to maximise light; the blinds pull up neatly.
How do I measure a bay window for a Roller Blind?
Our website helps you to place an order for Roller Blinds in a bay window. You can measure your windows for blinds using the online guide; click here to go to the 'Help & More' section where you can find the 'Measuring Instructions'. Should you prefer a visual guide, here is a very helpful video giving you the step-by-step processes on how to measure. You need to think carefully about how the blinds pull up and the room at the top of the window for the stacks to sit next to each other. You may have to make the blinds as narrow as possible, so that they cover the glass but don't knock into each other.
Can you pattern match the blinds across the bay window?
Yes we can the blinds would all be made starting at the same place at the top and we can line up the pattern across the width of the blinds.
Borders - You can add a 5 cm contrasting bottom border, or an all-round border on the right, left, and bottom edge of the blind. Any of Vanessa's fabrics can be used for this, for example Gypsy Garland in Dove, with a bottom border in Stockholm Stripe - Dove, Winter, or Pretty Maids in Dove and Winter. Plain Linen Unions also make great borders for Roller Blinds.
Roller Blinds can be made for you through our Made to Measure service with fabrics printed in the UK on a good weight of 100% Linen and Linen Unions. We hold a good stock of all our fabrics.
You can order your Made to Measure Roller Blind s straight from our website. The online guide and video will help you measure your windows for blinds. Click here to view a helpful step-by-step video on how to measure.
How to measure up for your Roller Blind:
Inside a window recess
Width: Measure the width of the recess from the left to the right (see E on the diagram)
Length: Measure from the top of the recess to the bottom (see E on the diagram)
YOU ONLY NEED TO PROVIDE US WITH THE FULL RECESS MEASUREMENT - the maker will allow for the rolling mechanism when making the blinds (There will be a gap of about 1.5cm between the fabric and the recess wall which will allow some light through, even with a blackout lining)
Outside a window recess
Width: Measure the outside of the window recess (see F on diagram) and add at least 5cms on each side to minimise any light leaking through.
Length: Measure from the required position above the window (we recommend adding at least 5cm), to the length you require (see F on the diagram)
This also applies to blinds that will be fitted to the outside of a door recess, we only need the width and length that you would like the finished blind to be.
Please note that if your roller blind is outside the recess, we have to allow for the mechanism at either side of the roller blind, which is usually 1.5cm each side. For example, if you want the fabric width of your blind to measure 100cm, you need to specify this upon placing your order as 'finished fabric width', otherwise our makers will assume it is the recess width, and cut the fabric down to 97cm with the remaining 3cm for the mechanism, i.e. 100cm full fabric width + 3cm for mechanism, making the final recess width 103cm.
Your Roller blinds will be delivered complete with hanging instructions and fittings.
