Inside Mount

• Use a steel tape (cloth tapes are not accurate).
• Measure the opening at three different places, and use the narrowest dimension when ordering. Be exact! We will make the necessary deductions so it won't rub against the window casing.
• Measure the height of the window from the top (SOFFIT) down to the sill.
• See the Product Depth Summary chart below to determine the minimum windowsill depth needed for an inside mount, and the minimum needed for your shade to be flush against the window frame.

Outside or Ceiling Mount

• Use a steel tape to measure the exact height and width of the area to be covered.
• It is recommended that the shades overlap the window by at least 1-1/2" on each side.
• When installation has no sill, allow the shade to overlap the bottom of the window casing by at least 1-1/2".
  

• NOTE: You are responsible for your own measurements!
• Measure to the NEAREST EIGHTH OFAN INCH - don't round your measurements.
• On your notes, clearly indicate which measurement is the width and which is the height. It is very common to transpose measurements. Always indicate the WIDTH measurement FIRST, then the HEIGHT LAST. (W x H)
• Remember one very important thing when measuring for an inside mount - take the ACTUAL WINDOW OPENING SIZE to give to us, our factory will take all the proper allowances for it to fit into that opening.
• Before taking any measurements, step back from your window and decide if you want to mount the window treatment inside the window recess, or outside on the wall or molding. We usually recommend an inside mount when possible because it provides a cleaner look. However, an outside mount can make a window appear larger or hide an unattractive window. For an inside mount, the window opening must have enough unobstructed depth to allow mounting. When measuring for an outside mount, be sure to allow for the height of the product's headrail in your measurements.
• We will custom make your blinds to the sizes you write on the order. If these sizes are incorrect it is IMPOSSIBLE to change the blind, so take your time and double check your measurements. If you have any questions when measuring please call us at 1.866.278.9872.
