How to Measure
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.
Inside-mounted fit inside the window casing. Give your window a clean and simple look, or highlight attractive window moldings.
- Measuring the width: The width measurement of roller shades is taken from the inside edge of the window frame at the top. Always measure to the nearest ⅛’’, and be sure to use a steel measuring tape. Your order width=Your window width-¼’’.
- Measuring the depth: Your window needs to be deep enough for an inside mount. For dry-battery model, the minimum depth is 1 ⅞’’. For rechargeable model, the minimum depth is 2 ⅞’’.
- Measuring the height: The height measurement of roller shades is taken from the window frame in three places, top left, center, and top right down to the sill. Record the tallest height up to the nearest ⅛’’. This will be the height you order.
Outside-mounted shades hang above the window, or on the wall surrounding the window. To minimize light gaps and offer more privacy, make your window appear larger, and hide windows that are crooked or unattractive.
- Measuring the width: Take the measurement at the top of the window frame. You’ll use that measurement and add the recommended 4 to 6 inches. This will ensure the window is properly covered. For more light coverage and privacy, add even more to the measurement.
- Measuring the height: Take it from three locations, left, center, and right. You’ll use the tallest height and add the recommended 4 to 6 inches. This will ensure the window is properly covered.
