Measuring Instructions for Blinds and Shades
IMPORTANT: USE A METAL TAPE MEASURE FOR ALL MEASUREMENTS MAKE ALL MEASUREMENTS TO THE NEAREST 1/8TH INCH AND ROUND DOWN.
For example, 5/16 would be 1/4, 15/16 would be 7/8, etc…
Note: When measuring roller shades, measurements are for tip to tip on the headrail. Distance from edge of headrail brackets to fabric on chain lift side is ~7/8" and ~3/8" on the opposite side. Distance on spring lift is ~3/8" on each side. Make sure and take this into account when measuring for roller shades.
If you have any further questions on measuring, please contact customer service at 877-963-7446 BEFORE ordering.

Inside Frame Mount
Width
Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom). Take the smallest of the three measurements. Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order. The factory will make all necessary deductions to allow for mounting brackets.
Example: 36 x 60 - 36 is how wide (left to right) the blind needs to be. The width is always the first size in blind or shade measurements.
Height
Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three places. Take the largest of the three measurements. Write down that size making sure that it is the second number of the measurement.
Example: 36 x 60 - 60 is the height the blind needs to be.
The height (top to bottom) is always the second number in a blind or shade measurement.
PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT WILL DEDUCT 1/2 INCH OFF OF THE WIDTH (LEFT TO RIGHT) ON ANY INSIDE MOUNT BLIND OR SHADE. ONLY 1/4 INCH WILL BE DEDUCTED ON VERTICAL BLINDS.
Each product has a minimum window sill depth for inside mounting(you can find this depth on the specs for each product). Please check this size to ensure your window will allow for this depth.

Outside Frame Mount
Width
Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be. Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window frame and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: If the window opening is 36", it might be helpful to order 40". This will provide 2" coverage on each side of the window. There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening. Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. Example: 36 x 60 - 36 is how wide (left to right) the blind needs to be.
The width (left to right) is always the first size in blind or shade measurement.
Height
Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom. We recommend adding about 3 or 4 inches to this number to insure maximum light gap coverage and to cover the window completely taking in account the headrail. You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
Once you determine the desired height (round down to the nearest 1/8 inch) write it down.
Example: 36 x 60 - 60 is the height (top to bottom) the blind needs to be.
The height (top to bottom) is always the second size in a blind or shade measurement.
THE FACTORY WILL MAKE NO DEDUCTIONS ON OUTSIDE MOUNT BLINDS OR SHADES.

Outside Door Mount
Blinds that are mounted to doors are almost always outside mount. Please be sure and follow the above instructions for outside mount installations; however it is important to note the following:
Make sure the blind is wide enough as not to interfere with doorknobs and other obstructions and also wide enough for optimal light gap coverage. You want your new blinds to cover the entire opening of the window. We strongly recommend using 1" blinds on doors for clearance reasons.
Be sure and add 3 to 5 inches to the length of your blinds taking in account the headrail. You will want to mount the headrail above the window. This is important as you may use hold down brackets on the bottom to hold your blind in place.
