Blind Saver .com Blinds & Shades Measure & Order Guide • Always use metal tape measure • Measure all windows, even those that appear to be the same width and height • Round each measurement to the nearest 1/8” (see diagram below) Things To Remember 1/8” 1/4” 1/4” 1/2” 3/8” 5/8” 7/8” 1 2 Windows with Molding or Trim 1) Measure from the far left edge of the trim to the far right edge of the trim 2) For wood blinds, faux wood blinds, aluminum blinds, and other products with end mount brackets take a 1/4” deduction from the measurement to allow room to mount the end brackets onto the trim. 3) To expose some of the trim, measure the window opening and then add the amount of trim you would like covered to each side of the window opening size. 4) To expose all of your trim measure the window opening. 5) Measure the height from the top edge of the window trim to the bottom edge of the window trim or the window sill. To mount the blind above the window trim start your measurement at least 2” above the top edge of the trim and measure down to the bot- tom edge of the window trim or window sill. Window Cranks Replacing a standard window crank is recommended. Folding cranks orT-handle cranks are available and offer significantly reduced projections. If you are unable to or choose not to replace the crank it is recommended that the blind is measured to fall in front of the crank. To compensate for the blind being pushed out by the crank we recommend adding 1” to the length. Measuring Unique Windows
