1. To find width: Measure exact distance to the
nearest 1/8" between inside surfaces of
window frame
at the top, middle, and bottom,
and use the narrowest width. Do not make
any width deductions. Factory will make
the
appropriate deductions.
2. To find height: Measure exact distance to the
nearest 1/8" from inside surface at top of
window
to sill at the left, middle and right and
use the longest height. If you prefer blind not
to touch sill, deduct
1/4". If there is no sill,
measure height to point where blind is to
reach.

1. To find width: Measure exact distance to the
nearest 1/8" between the outermost points
where the blind
is to be placed. For optimum
light control, this measurement should extend
3/4" beyond the window opening
on each
side (or 1 1/2" for the entire width).
2. To find height: Measure exact distance to the
nearest 1/8" from where top of blind will be
located to
top of sill. If there is no sill or if
blind is to overlap window frame, measure to
point blind 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.
