1. To find width: Measure exact distance
between inside surfaces of window frame at
the top,
middle, and bottom, and use the
narrowest width. Do not make any width
deductions. For custom shades, the factory
will automatically deduct 3/8" from the shade
width; for CustomSizeNow™ shades, a 1/2"
deduction will be taken on the entire shade.
2. To find height: Measure exact distance from
inside surface at top of window to sill. If you
prefer shade not to touch sill, deduct 1/4". If
there is no sill, measure height to point where
shade is to reach.
1. To find width: Measure exact distance
between the outermost points where the
shade is to be
placed. This measurement
should overlap each side of window frame by
at least 1 1/2".
Factory makes no deduction
from your shade width dimensions.

where top of shade will be located to top of

If there is no sill or if shade is to overlap
window frame, measure to point shade is to
reach.
allow some overlap
For outside mount applications allow the
blind to overlap 1 1/2" to 3" on the sides,
top and bottom of the window.
You must add the overlap to your

or height for overlap on Outside Mounted
shades.
