247 Pro Tips:

• If your recess depth is 60mm or less or the window opens inwards, you'll be best off with an exact fitting. For recesses bigger than 60mm it's really just a matter of personal taste.
• When measuring to fit inside the recess, check for anything such as tiling or picture rails that could get in the way and take them into account when measuring. We normally advise just to measure between any tiling so as to ensure a nice, snug fit.

Additional Information:

• Wooden Venetian blinds are available in either 35mm, 50mm or 63mm slat sizes so please take this in to consideration when thinking about the placement of your blind - especially when fitting inside a recess. If your recess depth is 60mm or less or the window opens inwards, you may want to fit outside the recess, depending on the slat size chosen.
• We try to make the measuring and ordering process as simple as possible - so for a recess fitting, we only require the full size of your recess space and we will make small adjustments to enable the blind to fit within that space.  We make a 10mm deduction to the width of Wooden Venetians. If you wish to make your own allowances and do not require us to make them, please select exact fitting and not recess during the order process.
