Measurement Guide

For blinds & shades:
1. Decide if you want an inside or outside mount window treatment. Inside mount refers to
window treatments that hang completely inside the window frame. Outside mount refers to
window treatments that hang outside of the window frame; the hardware is typically installed
one to three inches from the outside edge of the window frame.
2. Measuring for an inside mount: Measure horizontally from the inside edge of one side of
the window frame to the inside edge of the opposite side. Measure at the top, middle and
bottom of the window, rounding your measurement to the nearest 1/8-inch. Take the
narrowest of these measurements as your final width measurement.
3. Once you have the width, measure for the height of the inside mount window treatment.
Measure vertically from the inside edge of the top of the window frame to the inside edge at
the bottom of the window frame. Measure in three places, at the left, center and right of the
window, again, rounding your measurement to the nearest 1/8-inch. Take the longest length
as your final length measurement.
