How Much Clearance Do Blinds Need Inside a Window Recess?

The depth available inside a recess affects which blind types can be fitted neatly.

Venetian blinds and roller blinds often require less depth than Roman blinds, which stack more when raised.

Handles are often the key factor, especially on uPVC windows where projection into the recess can limit available space.

The amount of clearance needed also depends on whether you want the blind fully recessed or positioned slightly forward.

As part of a free consultation, we assess recess depth and recommend the best solution before providing a free estimate.
