Measuring Guidelines
Accurate Measurements Are Essential
Measurements are used first to price the shade, and
then to custom fabricate it to the specified size.
The dimensions supplied on the order form must be correct
for the shade to properly fit the window opening.
Rectangular Shades
Rectangular shades include:.
Standard Rectangular.
Top-Down.
Top- Down/Bottom- U p.
Two-On-One Headrail.
Easy Glide.
Skylight Shades
Measuring procedures are the same for each of these
types of rectangular shades.
Inside Mount or Outside Mount
How you take your measurements will vary depending
upon whether the shade fits within the window opening
(inside mount or IB) or overlaps the window opening
(outside mount or OB)
"Rounding" Your Measurements
Dimensions on the order form should be accurate to
within 1/8". With outside mounts, round your
measurements up or down to the nearest 1/8''. With
inside mounts, always round down to the nearest 1/8''.
Rounding up could result in a shade that is too
wide to fit within the window opening.
Measuring for Inside Mounts
Measure the width inside the window opening at the
top, middle, and bottom. Measure the height inside
the window opening at the left, right, and center. Order
the narrowest width measurement and the longest
height measurement. Remember to round your
measurements down to the nearest 1/8''.
Be sure the window opening is deep enough for the
type of mounting bracket being used.
Measuring for Outside Mounts
Measure the desired width and height. To minimize
light leakage, it's recommended that the shade overlap
the window opening at least 1 1/2" on each side and at
the bottom.When measuring the height, take into account the
the mounting bracket.
Measuring For Verticals
For outside mount it is
suggested that for light and privacy
4" be added on each side of window
2" should be added to the height
