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 shortest
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" - 6" 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.
Verticals will be fabricated
for outside mounting to your exact measurements.
Be precise! If you are not sure, call us.

a split stack design when the vanes are open and rotated
as well as closed.

than 1/4" |
| • |

Vane Closure Gap
When Stardust vanes are in the closed potions, they always
overlap but they may not always touch. The vane closure
gap is the maximum distance between closed overlapping
vanes, the vane closure gap is up to 1/2".
Stacking Design
Stardust Sheer Verticals are available in side or split
stack designs. Either design may be mounted inside or
outside of the window opening, The rotation chain and
traverse cord must be placed on the same side and cannot
be split.
| • |
Side
stacks may draw open to the left or right side.
The controls may be placed on the same side of the
stack or the opposite side. Controls cannot be split. |
| • |
Split
stack shadings draw open to both sides equally. |
Note on Stacking
When Stardust Verticals are in the stacked position the
vanes may flare slightly. This is considered normal and
does not constitute a failure in workmanship or materials.
The possible flare has been shown through case study not
to detract from the beauty of the product. |
