HOW TO MEASURE

INSIDE MOUNT

MEASURING.png

This is an accordion

  • Mounted on the inside of your window frame

  • Provides a clean, built-in look

*For all inside mount blinds, take exact measurements. Deductions will be made by us, depending on the product selected

1. Ensure the depth of your window is sufficient to install the chosen product. To do so, please refer to the ``Depth Requirement`` section of the product.
If the window does not have the minimum required depth, the blind will not fit, and will therefore have to be outside mounted.

 

2. Please take as precise measurements as possible, without any deductions. We will make the standard necessary required deductions for you.
**Important to note, all fabric blinds installed interiorly may have a slight ¾” of gap between the frame and the fabric.

 

Measuring Width

For all our products, it’s suggested to take measurements from the top, the center, and the bottom of the window. When ordering, apply the smallest dimension measured.

​

Measuring Height

Also measure the height at the left, right, and center of the window, and apply the shortest dimension measured when ordering.

OUTSIDE MOUNT

  • Mounted on or above your window frame

  • No minimum depth requirements

Measuring Width

Measure the width that you would like your product to be. The selected product will be made to measure, according to the precise dimensions you provide. To minimize light gaps and for additional privacy, add extra inches for coverage on each side of the window. 

​

Measuring Height

Measure the height of the area you wish to cover. This is your ordering height. The height dimension includes the headrail (if applicable) and will be from the top of the cassette to the bottom of the blind.
