Width
With a steel tape, measure across the exact width of your window opening at three different places (top, middle, and bottom). Measurements should be taken within the window jamb.Write down the smallest of the three measurements. This is the width you will order.Do not make any deductions! Our factory will deduct 1/2 inch on inside mounted blinds to allow room for the mounting brackets and/or to provide space for operation. If the top of your window opening is not the smallest measurement, you will need you specify your valance size. For an inside mount, make sure that the window opening have enough unobstructed depth to allow mounting.
Height
Measure the exact height of the window opening from the underside of the soffit to the surface of the window sill in three different places (left, center, and right). Write down the largest of these three measurements. This is the height you will order. The factory will make no additions or deductions to the height measurement. |
