Measuring each window individually as size variances
are common. Record width first, then height (also
referred to as length) to the nearest 1/8". Measure width
from left to right, height from top to bottom using a steel
tape
measure. Do not use a cloth tape. |

Inside Mount
Inside mount shades are installed inside the window casing.
- Measure the exact inside width of window casing
from one inside edge to the other in three different
places. Record the narrowest measurement.
- Measure the exact height in three different
places from top edge of opening to top of sill. Record the
longest measurement.
- Do not take deductions. allowances are made at
the factory to ensure a perfect fit.

Outside Mount
Outside mount shades are installed outside the window casing,
covering an area larger than the window itself.
- Measure the exact width to be covered. Be sure
the measurement overlaps the window opening by a least 1
1/2" on each side (3" total overlaps) to ensure
light control and privacy.
- Measure exact height to be covered, including desired
overlap. (Typically from top edge of molding tobottom edge,
or to top of sill there is one.)
- The factory makes 1/4" deduction for an outside mount.
