How to Measure Windows Correctly for Blinds and Shades Menu

Inside Mount

Width

• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in 3 places (top, middle, and bottom).
• Make all measurements to the nearest 1/8^th inch, rounding DOWN for width if necessary (For example, if the smallest measurement is 24 9/16", round down to 24 1/2". If it's 24 3/8", no need to round down).
• Take the SMALLEST of the 3 measurements, this is the width that you will order.
• Production department will make the necessary deductions to ensure the blind/shade fits inside your window.

Height

• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in 3 places.
• Make all measurements to the nearest 1/8^th inch, rounding UP for height if necessary (For Example, If the largest measurement is 24 9/16", round up to 24 5/8". If it's 24 1/2", no need to round up).
• Take the LARGEST of the 3 measurements, this is the height that you will order.

Outside Mount

Width

• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the window frame or how wide you would like the blind to be.
• Be sure to measure wide enough to cover the entire window and provide maximum light coverage.
• Example: If the window opening is 36” wide, it might be helpful to order 40” if the space allows. This will provide 2” coverage on each side of the window.
• No deductions/additions will be made to the width ordered.

Height

• Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom.
• Be sure to measure high enough to cover the entire window and provide maximum light coverage.
• Example: If the window opening is 60” high, it might be helpful to order 64” if the space allows. This will provide 2” coverage on top and bottom of the window.
• No deductions/additions will be made to the height ordered.
