Measuring Instructions for Cellular, Pleated and Roman Shades Installation Measuring Measuring • Measure each window individually as size variances are common. • Record WIDTH first, then HEIGHT (also referred to as length) to the nearest 1/8 inch. • Measure width from left to right, height from top to bottom using a steel tape measure. Do NOT use a cloth tape. INSIDE MOUNT • Inside Mount shades are installed inside the window casing. Minimum depth requirements of 2" - 3 1/2" vary by product and headrail type. Call or e-mail us for information on specific products. • Measure the exact inside width of window casing from one inside edge to the other in three places (top, middle, bottom). Record the narrowest measurement within. • Measure exact height in three different places from top edge of opening to top of still. Record the longest measurement. • Do not take any deductions for clearance., The factory will take necessary deductions to ensure a perfect fit. Factory deductions are approximately 3/8" - 1/2" from ordered width. Call or e-mail us for information on specific products. OUTSIDE MOUNT • Outside Mount shades are installed outside the window casing. • Measure the exact width to be covered. Be sure the measurement overlaps the window opening at least 1" - 1 1/2" on each side to ensure light control and privacy. • Measure exact height to be covered, including desired overlap. (Typically from top edge of molding to bottom or to the top of the sill if there is one.) • If mounting above molding, add 1 1/2" - 2" to allow for the headrail. Factory makes no deductions for an outside mount. Call or e-mail us for information on specific products.
