Part Tiled Recesses

Measure the full width at the top of the recess then the width between the tiles.

If the difference is less than 25mm as it will be in most cases then use the measurement at the top as there will be enough clearance for the fabric and order as recess size.

e.g.

Roller blind fabric is approximately 35mm narrower than the overall width of the blind including brackets.
