Measuring for Vertical Blinds

Installation

Measuring

Measuring
• Measure each window individually, as size variance are common.
• Record width first, then height (also referred to as length) to the nearest 1/8".
• Measure width from left to right, height from top to bottom, using a steel tape. Do not use cloth tape.

Inside Mount

Inside Mount
• Inside mount shades are installed inside the window casing. Minimum depth requirements are 4" - 6". Call or e-mail us for specific details.

• Measure the exact inside width of window casing from one inside edge to the other in three places (top, center, bottom). Record the longest measurement.

• Measure the exact height in three different places from top edge of opening to top of sill (left, center, bottom). Record the longest measurement.

• Do not take any deductions for clearance. Allowances are made at the factory to ensure a perfect fit. Factory will deduct 3/8" - 1/2" from ordered width depending on product. Call or e-mail us for specific details.

Outside Mount

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 3" - 4" 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.

Verticals will be fabricated for outside mounting to your exact measurements. Be precise! If you are not sure, call us.
