How to measure square bay window for blinds

Measuring a square bay window for blinds requires a few additional steps than measuring a regular square window. Here are the steps to measure a square bay window for blinds:

1. Measure the width of the window at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the smallest measurement.
2. Next, measure the height of the window from the top of the window to the window sill. Measure in three places: the left side, the center, and the right side of the window. Record the longest measurement.
3. Measure the depth of the window frame. Measure from the front of the window frame to the back of the recess. This measurement is important as it determines the type of brackets and fitting that will be used to install the blinds.
4. Measure the distance between the front of the window frame and the start of the angled bay section on either side. Record this measurement for both sides of the window.
5. Measure the angle of the square bay window. To do this, use an angle finder to measure the angle between the two angled bay sections. Record this measurement.
6. Double-check your measurements to ensure accuracy.

When ordering your blinds, provide the smallest width measurement, the longest height measurement, the depth of the window frame, the distance between the front of the window frame and the start of the angled bay section on either side, and the angle measurement. This information will ensure that your blinds fit perfectly and look great in your square bay window.
