How To Measure — Guidelines For A Perfect Fit
  • Measure each window individually, as size variances are common.
  • Record width first, then height.
  • Measure to the nearest 1/8".
  • Measure width from left to right, height from top to bottom, using a steel tape measure. Do not use a cloth tape.

    Inside Mount:
  • Inside mount blinds and shades are installed inside the window casing. Minimum depth requirements vary by product and brand. Ask your sales consultant for details.
  • Measure the exact inside width of the window casing from one inside edge to the other in three (3) different places. Record the narrowest measurement.
  • Measure the exact height in three (3) different places from top edge of opening to top of sill. Record the longest measurement.
  • Do not take any deductions for clearance. (The factory will take necessary deductions for a perfect fit.)

    Outside Mount:
  • Outside mount blinds and shades are installed outside the window casing, covering an area the same size or larger than the window itself.
  • Measure the exact width of window including frame. A sales associate may recommend an addition for overlap, depending on the product.
  • Measure exact height of window from the top edge of molding to top of the sill (if there is one) or to the bottom edge of frame. A sales associate may recommend an addition for brackets or overlap, depending on the product.
  • The factory makes NO deductions on an outside mount.
