First, follow the orange lines to measure the window width and height.
Next, as a rule of thumb, add a 0.10-0.15m (10-15cm) allowance to each side of the measurement. This will allow the blind to overlap the window and reduce light leakage from the sides.
For Illustration:
Blind Width = Window Width + 0.15m + 0.15m
Blind Height (w/ beam) = Window Height + 0.15m
Blind Height (w/o beam) = Window Height + 0.15m + 0.15m
Notes:
1 . The 10-15cm (4-6 inches) allowance is a general guide, it can be more or less depending on individual’s preference. The more overlap you have, the lesser will be the light leakage.
2. All blinds measurements are inclusive of the headrail & bottom bar. For roller/combi blinds, please note that the fabric width will be approximately 1.25~1.5 inches (3.2~3.8 cm) narrower than the headrail.
P.S.
In the above example, there is a beam right above the window. As the blind’s headrail will be mounted on the beam directly, there is no need to add 10cm to the top.
If there is no beam, the blinds will be mounted 10cm or more from the top of the window.
For curtain width, generally it will be from wall-to-wall. You can easily estimate the width from the floorplan.
For HDB beam-to-floor, the height is usually 2.1m to 2.23m approximately.
For HDB ceiling-to-floor, the height is usually 2.4m to 2.7m approximately.
For Illustration:
Curtain Width = Wall-to-Wall Width
Curtain Height (beam) = Beam to Floor Height
Curtain Height (ceiling) = Ceiling to Floor Height
Notes:
1. As long as the required height is not more than 2.6m, it won’t affect the price. Generally, without joining fabrics, 100% blackout curtains can support till 2.65m height, and Dim-out curtains can support till 2.85m height. (This also depends on the type of fabrics.)
2. We only work with curtain tracks or rails. We do not carry curtains rods/poles regrettably.
P.S.
For curtain, normally it will be done from beam-to-floor to save some floor space.
