📐 How to Measure Your Windows

Follow these step-by-step instructions for accurate measurements. Measure each window individually as dimensions may vary.

📏 Inside Mount Measuring

Step 1 - Width:
Measure width at top (W1), middle (W2), and bottom (W3). Use the narrowest measurement.

Step 2 - Height:
Measure height at left (H1), middle (H2), and right (H3). Use the longest measurement.

Step 3 - Depth:
Check window frame depth is at least 2 1/2" for proper mounting.

💡 Tip: Always use the smallest measurements to ensure a perfect fit inside the frame.

📐 Outside Mount Measuring

Step 1 - Width:
Measure the entire area you want to cover. Add 1-2" on each side for better light blockage.

Step 2 - Height:
Measure from where you'll mount (H1, H2, H3) to your desired bottom. Ensure consistent height.

Step 3 - Check:
Ensure no obstructions like handles or locks will interfere with blinds.

⚠️ Note: Your exact measurements become the blind size for outside mount.

🎯 Measurement Best Practices:

• Use a metal tape measure for accuracy
• Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch
