How To Measure...

Before taking any measurements, look at your window and decide if you want to mount the window treatment inside the window recess, or outside on the wall or molding. If you have any questions or concerns about measuring or where to mount your window treatments, please give us a call at (877) 727-0707. It is important that the measurements are accurate as you are responsible for these measurements.

We recommend the following:

• Use a steel measuring tape

• Measure to the nearest eighth of an inch - don't round up or down   
  Write Your Measurements down Width by Height

• Measure Width in three places & use smallest Width (Same with Height - use the smallest measurement)

Keep these things in mind:

• Inside mounts have deductions taken by the factory (1/4" TO 1/2") - take actual window OPENING Size

• Extension Brackets are for clearing casing that is deeper than 3/4" from wall

• Valances on inside mounts are not flush with wall (they usually stick out about 1-2 inches)

• Sliding Glass Doors usually use a one way draw

• One way draw tracks are reversible (for left or right stack)  

Window Measurements...

When measuring for both inside and outside mounts, the finished measurements of the window treatment are from the top of the head rail to the bottom of the bottom rail (or in the case of verticals the bottom of the vanes) for the height. The width is from the left edge of the window treatment to the right edge.         

Don't be surprised to find that your windows aren't square - many aren't. If they're a little out of square, it probably won't be noticeable. If your window is a lot out of square, you might want to consider an outside mounting to hide the window.
