When you're measuring inside reveals, you need more than just a tape measure — you need a tool that works with you, not against you.
GatorTape was born on the job, designed by a shutter and curtain fitter who was tired of fighting flimsy blades, awkward angles, and the lack of precision in standard tapes. The result? A tape measure built specifically for window specialists.
Here’s why blind, curtain and shutter fitters are switching to GatorTape:
📏 1. Top-View Accuracy Where It Matters
The top-mounted viewing window gives you a clear line of sight to your measurement — especially useful when you’re inside a window reveal or tight recess. No bending the blade. No second guessing.
💪 2. Strong Standout for Solo Work
Need to measure across a wide opening or from sill to sill? GatorTape’s 2.2m+ standout means the blade stays rigid without collapsing, even when you’re working solo. That’s a huge win when there’s no second pair of hands on site.
🧲 3. Magnetic Hook for Extra Reach
The magnetic end hook grips onto metal poles, radiators, and steel frames — perfect for curtain installs or when measuring high-up fittings. You get more control and less fumbling.
🎯 4. Class 1 Precision
Accuracy matters when you’re installing made-to-measure blinds or custom shutters. GatorTape is Class 1 rated — the highest standard available — so you can trust your readings down to the millimetre.
🧰 5. Curtain Claw Accessory
For curtain drops, the optional Curtain Claw hooks directly onto eyelets or rings, letting you drop the tape straight to the floor and read it easily from the top window. It’s one of those “why didn’t this exist before?” tools.
🛠️ Trusted by Fitters Nationwide
We’ve seen GatorTape used by pros across the UK — shutter fitters, curtain makers, blind installers, and surveyors — all saying the same thing:
“It’s the tape you don’t realise you need until you use it. Then you never go back.”
If you measure windows for a living — or even just once in a while — GatorTape is built for you.
