Bay Window Blind Calculator
Answer a few quick questions and we’ll work out exactly what size to order for each blind, so they fit neatly where they meet in the corners of your bay.
Watch: how to measure your bay windowWhat shape is your bay?
Not sure? Most bay windows are either square (90°) or splayed (135°).
Which blinds are you ordering?
Do your window handles stick out?
We’ll add an extra 1cm so your blinds clear them easily.
Your measurements
- Use a steel tape measure and measure in centimetres.
- Measure each window from corner to corner, at the height where the brackets will be fitted.
- Take three readings and use the smallest.
How should the blinds meet in the corners?
Work out your total depth
Each blind sits on a headrail. Its depth, plus anything sticking out of the window frame, tells you where your blinds will meet in the corners.
AMeasure the obstruction depth
- Find anything sticking out from the window frame, such as handles or trickle vents.
- Measure from the frame to the tip of the deepest one.
Nothing sticking out? Enter 0.
Find where your blinds meet
AMark your total depth on paper
- Place your two sheets of paper side by side, with their top edges lined up.
- Measure your total depth down from the top edge and draw a line across both sheets.
BFind the first measuring point
- Lay the sheets flat on the sill, one against each window at a corner, with the top edges pressed against the frame.
- Slide them together until the two lines meet.
- Mark the sill where the lines meet, and mark the frame where the sheets meet it.
CMark every corner
- Repeat at each corner of the bay.
- Decide where the blinds should end at each side – this is up to you, or may be set by obstructions – and mark these end points on the frame.
You need one blind for every window. A five-window bay needs five measurements and five blinds.
Measure the widths and drop
- Measure between your marks for each window, from left to right.
- Measure the drop of each window on the left, in the centre and on the right, and use the smallest.
