How to do it – for a sash window. The blinds were designed specifically for sash windows, though they work on other windows (see this post). Here is a drawing showing how they fit & which dimensions we need. You can download the instructions as a pdf (includes photos) here and if you’d like a Word version of the dimension chart to fill in it is available here.

I am not clear re the measurements you require. For the purposes of an initial estimate, I hope the following information is of use:
The section directly next to the sliding sash is 60 inches long by 42 inches wide. I will send a photograph separately.

Hi Lynne, yes that’s fine for the estimate stage, I’ll need more details if you decide to go ahead and I look forward to seeing a photo, please email to info@thermalblind.co.uk,

Hi, can you please advise on a rough cost for a blind 1560w x 1660h before I do the detailed measuring. Thanks
Hi Lucy, could you send a photo please? The fabric is 1400mm wide and so it will be necessary to have a seam, so I’d rather advise you if there is an alternative way to deal with your window, and to check that its suitable for a blind. As a guide the blinds are from £160 per sq.m.
