How To Measure

What you'll need

• Metal tape measure.
• Pen and paper or your phone.
• A step ladder where safely required.
• A phone or camera for the required photographs.
• Your room name and a simple reference for each window.

Record the basics

For every window, note:

• Room name.
• Your window reference.
• Window type.
• Whether the shutter will sit inside or outside the recess.
• Width and height in millimetres.
• Any relevant notes about the opening.

Measure the opening

Follow the measurement method shown for your selected installation position. Take the measurements at the points shown in the guide and record them exactly as instructed.

Do not estimate or round measurements unless the guide specifically tells you to. If an opening appears unusual, take the required photographs and use the support route rather than guessing.

Photographs matter

Your photographs help us understand the opening alongside your measurements. Take clear, well-lit photographs that show the whole opening and any details that could affect the shutter specification.

The configurator will tell you which photographs are required and provide examples of acceptable images.

Before you submit

• Check every measurement is recorded in millimetres.
• Check the width and height have not been swapped.
• Check the installation position is correct.
• Make sure photographs are clear and show the full opening.
• Add notes about anything unusual, such as handles, tiles, window boards or restricted access.
• Use the support route if you are unsure rather than entering a guess.
