Clean, integrated look and the most popular choice. Window frame must accommodate the Required Minimum Depth for your desired window treatment. A common measuring mistake is not considering the depth needed when choosing Inside Mount. Depth determines which window treatment your window can accommodate with Inside Mount and how it will look when installed.
Makes windows appear larger and provides superior light control. (Chosen when Inside Mount is not an option because the window frame does not have enough depth for the window treatment).
Review the measurement instructions in our brochure for additional details.
