Measuring Instructions are NOT subject to order.
Specific Measuring Instructions Below:
For an inside mount:
Measure the opening width at the top, center and bottom, recording the narrowest width. Always measure to the nearest 1/8", and be sure to use a steel tape measure. See tip below.
Measure the height left, right and center, recording the tallest height.
When you specify inside mount, the factory will make your blind slightly narrower than you specified to allow for operating clearance. They will deduct between 1/16" and 3/8" from the width on each side. The deductions are made so that the blind will not rub or scratch your window frame. So do not take the deduction yourself. Provide the exact window opening width.
For a flush inside mount (the blind completely recessed so that the top of the blind does not project out of the opening) check that you have enough depth.
Outside mounts will hang outside the opening of a recess, either on the frame or above and beyond the frame. If you outside mount, you can make a window appear larger or hide an unattractive window.
Outside Mount
If you are mounting your blinds directly to the frame of the window, measure the exact width and height of the wood frame itself, from outer edge to outer edge. Or, for maximum privacy and light control, go above and beyond the window frame. We recommend adding between 3" to 6" to your width measurement. Also add at least 2" to your height measurement to allow enough room for the mounting brackets and head rail above the opening.
There will be no additions or deductions made to your outside mount specifications.
