TEMPLATES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
| Templates are required with all specialty shaped orders. Easy-to-use guidelines for preparing templates appear on page 4. Note: One template required for each window. |
Angular and Triangular Windows
| Either the top or bottom of the shade is sloped or angled. |
| 1. |
Measure all sides to ensure accurate fabrication. |
| 2. |
Measure the inside of the window opening for inside mounts. |
| 3. |
For outside mounts, add the desired amount of overlap. |
| 4. |
Slope angle must be measured in degrees using a protractor. |
| 5. |
Record all measurements on the template you create for the shade. |
| 6. |
Use the tallest height measurement and the width measurement when pricing the shade, unless otherwise specified. |
|
| Arched, Circular and Quarter Circle Windows |
| 1. |
For inside mounts, measure the exact width and height inside the window opening. |
| 2. |
For outside mounts, measure the desired width and height. |
| 3. |
Measure the height at its tallest point. |
| Check Yourself |
|
|
With quarter circles, height will equal width. In perfect arches, height will equal one-half the width. |
|
|
With imperfect arches or eyebrows, exact height/width relationships do not occur, so extra care must be taken to ensure a good fit (see below). |
|
|
Imperfect arches have a minimum height limitation. Generally, height should not be less than 25% of the overall width. |
