Measuring For Inside Mount Shades
To Find Width
Measure exact distance between inside surfaces of window frame at the top middle, and bottom, and use the narrowest width. Do not make any width deductions. Factory will automatically deduct 3/8" from fabric width.
To Find Height
Measure exact distance from inside surface at top of window to sill. If you prefer shade not to touch sill, deduct 1/4". If there is no sill, measure height to point where shade is to reach.
Minimum Mounting Depth*
| Custom Order | |
|---|---|
| Cordless Shades | 1/2" |
| Standard Shades | 5/8" |
*Minimum mounting depth is the depth required, in the window frame, for the blind to be mounted inside mount.
Measuring For Outside Mount Shades
To Find Width
Measure exact distance between the outermost points where the shade is to be placed. This measurement should overlap each side of window frame by at least 1 1/2". Factory makes no deduction from your shade width dimensions.
To Find Height
Measure exact distance from where top of shade will be located to top of sill. If there is no sill or if shade is to overlap window frame, measure to point shade is to reach.
Allow Some Overlap
For outside mount applications allow the blind to overlap 1 1/2" to 3" on the sides, top and bottom of the window.
