Step 1: Measure the inside width at three places: the top, middle, and bottom. 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 smallest measurement on your worksheet. This is your ordering height. (The manufacturer will take a height deduction for clearance)
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 shortest measurement on your worksheet. This is your ordering depth.
If you are replacing an existing vertical blind, the headrail is included in the height measurement. Do not provide us the height of the vane or slat as the height you actually order.
Outside Mount

Step 1: Measure the width of the area you want to cover. We recommend adding at least 8” to your measurement. (4” 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 factory deductions will be taken).
Step 2: Measure the height of the area you want to cover. Round to the nearest ⅛”. We recommend subtracting ½” for ground clearance. This is your ordering height.
If you are replacing an existing vertical blind, the headrail is included in the height measurement,. Do not provide us the height of the vane or slat as the height you actually order.
