Our step-by-step instructions make it easy to take accurate measurements and get the right fit.
For a beautiful framed look
Find Width:
Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. between inside surfaces of window frame; at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest width of the three.
Find Height:
Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. from inside surface at top of window to top of sill; at the left, middle, and right. Record the tallest height of the three.
Find Depth:
Measure exact depth of window casing making note of any obstacles i.e. handles, tracks or cranks that could interfere with the blind or shade function. Use the shortest depth.
For increased light control and privacy
Find Width:
Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. between outermost points where shade is to be placed. Measurement should overlap each side of window frame by at least 1 1⁄2 in.
Find Height:
Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. from where top of shade will be located to top of sill, or measure to point of shade reach if no sill.
Overall Shade Width - Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. between inside surfaces of window frame; at the top, middle, and bottom.
Left Shade Width - Measure the width that you want the left shade to cover.
Right Shade Width - Measure the width that you want the right shade to cover.
Overall Shade Height - Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. from inside surface at top of window to top of sill; at the left, middle and right.
Overall Shade Depth - Measure exact depth of window casing making note of any obstacles i.e. handles, tracks or cranks that could interfere with the blind or shade function.
Overall Shade Width - Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. between outermost points where shade is to be placed. Add an additional 3 in. to 6 in. to total width for maximum privacy.
Left Shade Width - Measure the width that you want the left shade to cover. Order this shade first when placing your order.
Right Shade Width - Measure the width that you want the right shade to cover.
Overall Shade Height - Measure to the nearest 1⁄8 in. from where top of shade will be located to top of sill, or measure to point of shade reach if no sill.
NOTE: Take all measurements to the nearest 1/8 in. DO NOT take any deductions. The factory will make the necessary adjustments to help ensure your shadings operate smoothly.
