Measuring for Window Blinds & Shutters

Corded Blinds can be operated from either side. At Forever Blinds, our default is set to right side for convenience, however if you wish to operate from the left side simply select it when ordering your custom made blinds online.

Note: Not applicable for motorised blinds.

The length of operating cord/chain can be made to suit your requirements. At Forever Blinds, we make the cord/chain length to suit your blind drop by default. However, if you have any custom requirements it can be made to the desired length.

Note: Not applicable for motorised blinds.

Please note it's a requirement that all corded window blind chains/cords that are within 1600 mm from the floor level are be restrained with an appropriate child safety device (included with your blinds). Additionally, a safety label (included with your blinds) shall always be attached to the operating cord/chain.

When ordering motorised blinds that are controlled by a remote control, you have an option to control individual blinds with individual remotes or multiple blinds with single remote. You can save money by ordering a single remote to control multiple blinds in a room. Simply select a multi channel remote and tell us in the 'Order Notes' section of the 'Shopping Cart' about which blinds you would like to control from a single remote. All remotes come with wall mount holders for easy storage, when not in use.

• Single Channel Remote: Control a single window blind.
• Two Channel Remote: Control up to 2 window blinds.
  
• Five Channel Remote: Control up to 5 window blinds.
  

For windows that go down to the floor or have a protruding window sill (Do not mistake a protruding sill to an architrave as the architrave protrudes same across all sides of the frame, window sill only protrudes at the bottom), select the appropriate option when ordering your Plantation Shutters online.

If you are considering to install plantation shutters inside the window frame (recess/reveal fit), please ensure that your window frame/recess is square. To do so, measure your window frame diagonally and check that the difference between measurements is 10mm or less. 

A mid rail in a plantation shutter panel is a fixed louvre positioned in between rotating louvres, if necessary and provides structural integrity to panels of your plantation shutters. If your Plantation Shutters require a mid-rail, you will be given an option to decide the position of mid-rail. To measure for your mid-rail, simply measure from the bottom of drop to the centre of mid-rail. If no mid-rail measurements are provided, we will default it to the centre of drop measurements. However, it is a good decision to align the mid-rail with any horizontal dividers/mullions on your window, to maximise light, view and aesthetic appeal.

Inside Frame Install: If you are measuring for inside frame mount, we automatically take deductions for you so do not take any deductions.
