Please note that we depend on your measurements, so make sure all measurements are accurate.

• Use a steel measuring tape.
• Measure to the nearest eighth of an inch - don't round your measurements.
• On your notes, clearly indicate which measurement is the width and which is the height.  Always indicate the width measurement first, then the height (W x H).
• Remember to take the actual window opening size for an inside mount.  Our factory will take all the proper allowances for it to fit into that opening.

Before taking any measurements, step back from your window and decide if you want to mount the window treatment inside the window recess or outside on the wall or molding.  If the blinds will be installed in the window recess, the window opening must have 2 1/2" of unobstructed depth to allow mounting.  When measuring for an outside mount, be sure to allow for the height of the product's headrail in your measurements.

Measuring Inside Mounts

Measure the width of the window opening between the jambs to the nearest 1/8".  Measure at the top, middle, and bottom and use the smallest measurement.  Measure the height at the left, center and right of the opening and use the largest measurement. Remember that width is side to side and height is top to bottom. When you order your blind, do not take any deductions for clearance.

Measuring Outside Mounts

Determine the point where the installation brackets will mount on the flat portion of the casing or the wall.  Measure the distance between the outside of the left bracket and the outside of the right bracket.  Deduct 3/8" from this dimension and record it as the width of the blind.  Factory will take no additional deduction in manufacturing the blind.  Determine the height of the blind and record this dimension.  If brackets are being mounted beyond the casing you may need spacers behind the brackets. On door mounted blinds you need a minimum of 3" added to the height of the glass opening to allow clearance to mount the headrail and hold down brackets.

Make Sure Your Measurements Are Correct!

We will custom make your blinds to the sizes you place in your order.  If these sizes are incorrect, it is impossible to change the blind, so take your time and double-check your measurements.
