How to Measure
Make accurate measurements and get the right fit.
MEASURING FOR INSIDE MOUNT
Find Width:
Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. between inside surfaces of window frame; at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest width of the three.
Find Height:
Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. from inside surface at top of window to top of sill; at the left, middle, and right. Record the tallest height of the three.
Find Depth:
Measure exact depth of window casing making note of any obstacles i.e. handles, tracks or cranks that could interfere with the blind or shade function. Use the shortest depth.
MEASURING FOR OUTSIDE MOUNT
Find Width:
Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. between outermost points where shade is to be placed. Measurement should overlap each side of window frame by at least 1 1⁄2 in.
Find Height:
Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. from where top of shade will be located to top of sill, or measure to point of shade reach if no sill.
