How to Measure Linked Roller Blinds
Get the right measurement for every window
Getting Started
Accurate measurement is key to a perfect fit. Linked roller blinds follow the same approach as standard roller blinds, with some extra steps for individual blind widths.
Before You Start
Let’s make sure you’re ready to measure:
Chosen your mounting style – Inside or Outside Mount?
Decided between chain or motorised control?
Ordered your free fabric samples?
Downloaded the Check Measure Worksheet?
Read Mike’s measuring tips?
What You’ll Need
A metal tape measure or laser
A pen and paper (or worksheet)
1–2 people and 5–10 minutes
Step-by-Step Measuring Guide
Product Overview
Linked roller blinds are a smart solution for wide windows, sliding doors, and bi-fold openings. Two or more blinds are linked side by side on a shared bracket system, reducing gaps and giving you independent control of each blind.
Mounting Options
Inside Mount (Recess Fit):
Neat, built-in look
Min 60mm recess depth
Small light gaps expected
Check space for intermediate brackets
Back Rolled Linked Roller Blinds – Inside Mounted
How to Measure – Inside Mount
Width
Measure full width of the window recess at the top (orange line)
Mark the centre – this is for the intermediate bracket (red line)
Divide the total width into individual blinds (left – blue line to right – green line)
Total must equal full recess width
Measure to the exact mm
Drop
Measure from top of recess to the bottom
Ensure 60mm depth is available
Watch for handles or overlapping doors
Outside Mount (Face Fit):
Installed on wall or architrave
Great for shallow recesses and full coverage
Ideal for blockout and use with Pelmet 95
Front Rolled Linked Roller Blinds – Outside Mounted
How to Measure – Outside Mount
Width
Measure from outside edge of architrave to outside edge at the top (orange line)
Mark the centre for intermediate bracket (red line)
Divide width into individual blinds (left – blue line to right – green line)
Total must match overall measurement
Measure to the exact mm
Drop
Measure from top of architrave to where the blind should finish

Common Layout:
One blind for the fixed panel, one for the door – each independently controlled
Mike’s Tip:
Mark the centre and work left to right when assigning blind widths
Important Measuring Notes
Always measure in millimetres (mm)
The width you enter is bracket-to-bracket
Fabric will be narrower:
Standard: 15mm less per side (30mm total)
With Pelmet 95: 18mm per side (36mm total)
Don’t make any deductions – we’ll do that
Better to be 1mm short than 1mm long
Use a steel tape or laser
Measure every window—even if they look the same
Roll Direction Tips
Inside Mount: Front roll helps clear handles
Outside Mount: Back roll brings fabric closer for better blockout
Pelmet 95: Available with back roll only
Pelmet 95 – Overview & Measuring
