Curtain Wonderland's sale finishes this weekend and I was thinking about buying my blinds early.
The size's on the plans though I guess wont be the finished product. Is there a set size difference once they put the trimmings inside the window frames or how do you calculate the actual blind sizes with just the plans?
Windows sized vs finished size?

I dont know whether its something I would worth risking? Do they have sales often? I would personally prefer to wait and know that my custom blinds are in fact custom and made to suit the window perfectly (if they're custom?)

No set sizes - depends on the window supplier... so don't risk it, why not buy conditional on nominal sizes on the basis that you will measure later.

I suppose you could do it that way... But I think you will need made-to-measure, so I thought just do a deal to pay for a fictitious order in nominal sizes with a view to measuring to fit when the home is finished.
Or ask when their next sale is...

actually, am i getting confused?
the windows are sitting at the block, if i go and measure them will that be the final size, or do they put timber inside the window frame bit to make it look nice?

Ahhh, sorry, I see. If the windows have reveals then this will be OK. Go ahead. Your window supplier should have the "over reveal" sizes, ask for this so you can cross check your measurements by subtracting 2 x 20mm from each dimension in the supplier's list.

When we were getting prices off the plans they all told us it was an estimate and price could vary once the windows go in. This is because the plans are not always accurate as far as windows go. The carpenter could also make a mistake with the frame like he did on our windows. I think it's best to wait until the windows are in.
if by reveals you mean the timber frame included with the window, yes it has these

Yes, the reveals is the timber frame around the window. Measure inside these for your blinds/curtains.
