Measuring Tips

• Use a steel tape for accuracy.
• Measure width and write it down, then length and write it down.
• When measuring and ordering width always comes first.
• Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch.
• Do not take your own deductions. The factory will take necessary deductions and allowances.
• Double-check all measurements.

Inside Mount

The window covering will hang inside the window frame.

Width: Measure the EXACT distance across the window from the inside edge of the frame to the opposite inside edge in three places. Use the
narrowest dimension.

Height: Measure the EXACT distance from the top inside edge of the frame to the bottom inside edge of the frame in three places. Use the
longest dimension for horizontal coverings, and the shortest for vertical coverings.

Window Depth: The amount of space from the back of the window or obstruction to the windows outer edge (see below).

Flush Mount

Blind is mounted back into the window opening so that the valance is even with the window opening.

• 1.50″ for 1″ and 1/2″ Mini Blinds, 3/8″ Honeycomb Shades, 3/8” Cellular Shades and Pleated Shades
• 2.25″ for 1″ Wood Blinds, 3/4″ Honeycomb Shades and 3/4” Cellular Shades.
• 3.00″ for 2″ Aluminum Blinds and 2″ Wood blinds
• 4.75″ for Vertical Blinds

Outside Mount – On the Frame

The window covering will hang outside actual window frame, flush with outside edges of the window trim.

Width: Measure the EXACT distance from the outside edge of the left side of the window frame to the outside edge of the right side of the
window frame. This will be the finished width of your window covering.

Height: Measure the EXACT distance from the top outside edge of the window frame the bottom outside edge of the frame. This will be the
finished height of your window covering.

Outside Mount – With Overlap

The window covering will hang outside the actual window frame, over lapping the window frame enough to cover for maximum privacy and light blockage.
Recommended for ROLLER SHADES and VERTICAL BLINDS.

Width: Measure the EXACT distance from the outside edge of the left side of the window frame to the outside edge of the
right side of the window frame and add at least 2 inches for horizontal blinds and 4 – 6 inches for verticals.

Height: Measure the EXACT distance from the top outside edge of the window frame the bottom outside edge of the frame and add at least 3 inches
for horizontal blinds and 4 inches for verticals.
