for mounting depth requirements, refer to our “product details” tab for each product you are ordering
Step 1: Measure the inside width at the top, of the window. Round to the nearest ⅛”. Enter the smallest measurement on your worksheet. This is your ordering width. The manufacturer will take necessary deductions from this number.
Step 2: Measure the height at 3 places: left side, middle and right side. Round to the nearest ⅛”. Enter the longest measurement on your worksheet. This is your ordering height.
Step 3: Measure the depth at 3 places: left side, middle, and right side. Mounting surface must be flat in order to attach headrail. Also, obstructions may cause measurements to vary so it is important to keep this in mind while measuring. Round to the nearest ⅛”. Enter the longest measurement on your worksheet. This is your ordering depth.
Note: Roller shade fabrics may be at least 1 ⅜” narrower than your ordering width to allow for the mounting brackets. If this will create too much of a light gap in your window, please consider ordering an outside mount shade.
Outside Mount
blind is mounted to the wall, ceiling, or molding around the window
makes window area appear larger; helps hide unattractive windows or molding
requires at least 2” of flat space above window molding for mounting brackets
Step 1: Measure the width of the area you want to cover. We recommend adding 3 inches (1 ½” on each side) to help eliminate light gaps and ensure privacy. Enter this width on your worksheet; it is your ordering width and the width of the blind (no deductions will be taken).
Step 2: Measure the height of the area you want to cover including any extra overlap. Enter this height on your worksheet; it is your ordering height and the height of your blind (no deductions will be taken).
Note: Roller shade fabrics may be at least 1 ⅜” narrower than your ordering width to allow for the mounting brackets. If this will create too much of a light gap in your window, please consider ordering an outside mount shade.
