How to Measure for Inside Mount

  • Measure the Width

    Measure the exact trim-to-trim width and round down to the nearest 1/8". Add extra width as needed to prevent obstruction when drapes are fully opened.

  • Measure the Height

    Height: Measure from where you want the shades to cover. Tracks sit 2" (5 cm) above the window; factory deducts 1/2" (1.5 cm). Order Height = Fabric Height + 2.5" (6.5 cm).

Tips for Inside Mount

(1)Add extra width based on window size: 28" for 59–106", 36" for 107–162", and 44" for 163–220".
(2)Make sure handles, hinges, or trim will not interfere with installation.
(3)When fully opened, drapes gather to the sides, so leave enough room to avoid obstruction.

How to Measure for Outside Mount

  • Measure the Width

    Measure wall-to-wall width and round down to the nearest 1/8". Order at the exact opening size. Drapes stack to about 20% of total width when open (10% on each side).

  • Measure the Height

    Measure from where you want the shades to cover. Tracks are set 2" (5 cm) above the window. The factory deducts 1/2" (1.5 cm) from height to prevent dragging. Order Height = Fabric Height + 2.5" (6.5 cm).

Tips for Outside Mount

1. Allow space for stacking — when fully opened, drapes gather to about 20% of the total width.

2. Check for obstacles — handles, trim, or other features may affect installation.

3. Allow space for brackets — usually 2–3" of flat surface above the window.
