Measuring Tips

QUICK TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

(Please check "Product Specs" below for more detailed info)

  • Use a steel tape measure for best accuracy.
  • Measure to the nearest 1/8'' - don't round your measurements.
  • Before taking any measurements, step back from your window and decide if you want to mount the window treatment inside the window recess, or outside on the wall.
  • Choose the inside mount to: Give your window a clean and simple look, or highlight attractive window moldings.
  • Choose the outside mount to: Minimize light gaps and offer more privacy, make your window appear larger, and hide windows that are crooked or unattractive.
  • Your window needs to be deep enough for an inside mount. For shades width narrower than 47'', the minimum depth is 1 ⅞''. For shades wider than 47'' (include 47''), the minimum depth is 2 ⅞’’.
