Your Best of Both Worlds: Local Singapore Shop Support + Easy DIY Guidance
Choosing window treatments for your home is exciting, but it can also bring questions about trust and process. At [Your Company Name], we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between the reassurance of a local expert and the satisfaction of a DIY project. We offer the perfect hybrid: the unwavering support of a Singapore-based team with the clear, step-by-step guidance for confident DIY measurement and installation.

· Physical Showroom & Warehouse: Visit us to feel fabrics and see mechanisms firsthand. No guessing games. Our local stock also means faster lead times for many ready-made solutions.

📍 Part 1: The DIY Measurement Guide (Get it Right the First Time)
Accurate measurement is 90% of a successful installation. Follow our foolproof guide:
Tools You’ll Need: A metal tape measure (not a cloth one), a pen, and our free printable measurement worksheet.
Step A: Decide on Mounting Type
· Inside Mount (Recess): The blind fits neatly inside the window recess for a clean, built-in look. We recommend this for a streamlined finish.
· Outside Mount (On the Wall/Frame): The blind covers the entire window area on the wall. Ideal if your recess is shallow or uneven.
Step B: Measure for INSIDE MOUNT (Width x Height)
- Width: Measure the width of the recess at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest measurement (in millimetres) as your order width.
- Height: Measure the height from the top inside of the recess to the window sill at the left, centre, and right. Use the longest measurement as your order height.
- 📝 Pro Tip: Note any obstructions like window handles. We will account for the necessary clearance.
Step C: Measure for OUTSIDE MOUNT (Width x Height)
- Width: Decide how much coverage you want beyond the glass. We typically recommend adding 50-100mm on each side for optimal light blockage. Measure this total exact width.
- Height: Measure from where the top of the blind will be to where you want the bottom to fall (e.g., just below the sill). Add at least 50mm above the window frame for proper mounting.
✅ Final Check: Double-check all numbers and note them on our worksheet. When you order, we will fabricate to these exact measurements.
🔧 Part 2: The DIY Installation Guide
Your custom-made product will arrive with all necessary hardware and clear instructions.
- Unpack & Check: Lay out all parts. Check them against the packing list.
- Mark & Level: Hold the bracket in position. Use a pencil to mark the screw holes. This is the most critical step. Use a spirit level to ensure the bracket is perfectly horizontal.
- Drill & Fix: Drill pilot holes for wall plugs (for concrete/brick walls). Secure the brackets firmly using the provided screws.
- Snap-in & Test: Click or slide your blind into the brackets. Test the operation (chain, cord, or motor) to ensure smooth movement.
- Final Adjustments: Make any minor adjustments to the levelling. Sit back and admire your work!
