How To Measure
Fundamental Measuring Tips
- Measure the closest 1/8th of an inch with a measuring tape and make sure to confirm it twice.
- If the size comes under the 1/16th mark then round it off to the coming 1/8th, this way you will get the exact marking.
- Measure correctly both the width and height of the window and add a few inches extra if there is any problem with accuracy.
- Taking an extra inch can also help in keeping the privacy of our customers as there will be no open space left to peek from.
How to Measure Inside Mount Blinds
One of the two authentic ways to install a blind is inside the frame of a window. This way the complete structure of windows remains visible and has no effect on the interior design of your place. So, to measure for inside mount blinds, follow the below-mentioned steps:
- It is necessary to know that the minimum depth that a blind can provide is meeting with the window recess.
- Take three different measurements, or your window’s width; from top, middle and bottom and give us the one that is the least of the three.
- Now measure the height of your windows from three different sites; left, right and center.
- For sheer shades, give the smallest measurements but for other kinds of blinds give the largest one.
How to Measure Outside Mount Blinds
You can put blinds on the ceiling, and walls or molding of your windows. Such blinds are called outside mount window treatment. This way you can cover your windows broadly and thus get good control of light.
- Take the measurement above the window and ensure that you got around 2 inches of flat surface on the wall.
- Now measure the width of the window that you would prefer to cover, mostly its 1.5 inches of overlap on each side of it.
- Choose the place where you will fix the headrail on the top of your molding or on the wall as well.
- Measure the point of the window height to the point where you want your blinds to come to a stop.
