measure for: outside mount roller shades
- Measure the exact width of the area to be covered. It is recommended that 3" be added to the shade width for the
standard overlap of 1 1/2" on each side. Specify if your width measurement is the total shade width you desire
(tip-to-tip) or the width of the fabric (cloth-tocloth). The cloth-to-cloth measurement is 1 3/8" less than the
tip-to-tip measurement.
- Measure the height of the area to be covered. Measure from the ceiling or desired point above the window to
approximately 1 1/2" below the window frame.
measure for: inside mount roller shades
- Measure width of window opening at the top, middle, and bottom and use the narrowest
dimension for ordering. Specify if your width measurement is the total shade width you desire
(tip-to-tip) or the width of the fabric (cloth-to-cloth). The cloth-to-cloth measurement is
1 3/8" less than the tip-to-tip measurement. The factory will automatically take an allowance
of 1/2" for operating clearance unless you specify otherwise.
- To install the product flush with the window frame, a minimum window depth of 2" is required
without a valance and a minimum window depth of 4" is required with a valance.
