How To Measure Windows

⭐Step Guide

Comprehensive Description

Opt for Inside Mount When:

  • Enough Window Depth: Window frame depth 2"or more.
  • Space-Saving: Fits flush within window frame, zero wall/ceiling protrusion.
  • Ideal for Recesses: Perfect for deep-set windows.
  • Accommodates Heavy Objects: Sufficient support to support the installation of blinds.

Opt for Outside Mount When:

  • Insufficient Window Depth: Window frame depth less than 2"(For inside mount with frame depths exceeding 1.18" (3 cm), specify side brackets when ordering).
  • Installation Flexibility: Works with shallow/non-recessed windows, needs only wall/ceiling space.
  • Increase shading: Outside mount can increase the light coverage area more widely.
  • Limited Weight Capacity: The window frame is unstable and does not have enough support.

Inside Mount

Before installation, be mindful of obstacles in the window opening, such as cranks or handles, which can impede proper shade installation.When measuring your roller shade, remember that the fabric width is typically around 1.02 inches (2.59 cm) smaller than the valance size (order width) provided.Measure your window frame depth to confirm adequate installation space. For fully recessed roller shades (with no valance protrusion), a minimum depth of 3.34" (8.5 cm) is required.For more detailed information on different window treatments, check out ourcomprehensive guide.

Start:

1. Measure Width Top/Middle/Down:

Measure the width in 3 places. For width, use the smallest measurement. Round each measurement down to the nearest 1/8 inch when ordering.

2. Measure Height Left/Middle/Down:

Measure the height in 3 places. For height, use the longest measurement. Round each measurement down to the nearest 1/8 inch when ordering.

3. Order Width = Shortest Measurement Width = Whole Item Width

Order Height = Longest Measurement Height = Whole Item Height (Window depth ≥ 2")

Outside Mount

1. Measure Width To Be Coverd:

We recommend adding 6 inches to the width you wish to cover for optimum light control and privacy.

2. Measure Height To Be Coverd :

We recommend adding 6 inches to the width you wish to cover for optimum light control and privacy.Order Width = Measured Width + 6"=Whole Item WidthOrder Height = Measured Height + 6"= Whole Item Height

How To Install Roller Shades

Step 1 Mark Positions.

  • Attach the brackets to the correct position on the shade and mark the screw locations on the pillar or frame with a pencil. Remember to consult the product instructions for precise bracket placement.
  • Duplicate the previous steps for the other brackets.
  • Ensure the brackets are level by using a level tool.

Step 2 Install the Brackets.

  • Drill pilot holes through the marked bracket positions using a power drill.
  • Remove the brackets from the shades and securely screw them into the wall or frame.
Step 3 Install the Shade.
  • Wall Mount:

Insert the upper slot on the valance onto the hooks on the top of the brackets. Then, gently push up on the plastic tabs until they click securely into place in the slot, providing stable support.

  • Ceiling Mount:

Align the inner slot on the top of the valance with the inner hooks on the brackets. Then, gently push the plastic tabs inward until they securely click into the slot, providing stable support.

  • Repeat this process for all other brackets.
