Measurement Steps

1. Measure Width

Measure the total width needed: window opening + extra coverage on both sides (typically 5-10cm each side for brackets and overlap)

2. Measure Height

Measure the total height needed: window opening + top bracket space (typically 10cm) + bottom coverage (typically 10cm or as desired)

3. Example Calculation

In reference to the visual guidance, Width 300cm × Height 200cm window: Order 2 units of 155cm × 220cm (150+5 width, 200+10+10 height)

4. Important Notes

For multiple windows, measure each one separately when possible.

Pro Tips

  • Use a metal tape measure for accuracy
  • Measure at least twice to confirm
  • Consider furniture placement when measuring
  • For bay windows, measure each section separately
