How to Measure

Inside MountTo find width:1. Using a steel tape measure, measure exact window width at top, middle and bottom, inside the window frame.2. Use the narrowest width. Do not take any width deductions.To find height:1. Measure exact window height at left and right side, inside the window frame.2. Use the longest height.

Outside MountTo find width:1. Using a steel tap measure, measure exact width where blind is to be placed.2. Add at least 1 ½” to each side foroptimal light control.(4” suggested for vertical blinds)To find height:1. Measure exact height from proposedheadrail location to the window sill.2. Add at least 1 ½” to the height foroptimal light control. (4” suggested for vertical blinds)
