HOW TO MEASURE
A WINDOW
To measure a window for a covering,
first determine whether you want an inside
or outside mount. An inside mount is installed
within the window casing, while an outside
mount is installed outside the window casing,
covering an area larger than the window itself.
Using a tape measure, follow these three
simple steps:
WIDTH
Measure in three places, from left to right;
use the smallest measurement.

Measure in three places, from top to bottom;
use the smallest measurement.
DIAGONAL
Measure in two places, from top left to
bottom right and top right to bottom left.
If diagonal measurements are not equal,
the window opening is not square and you
may want to consider an outside mount for
optimal light control and aesthetics.

OUTSIDE MOUNT
Sheer horizontal window shades, which suspend soft fabric vanes between
two sheer fabric facings, provide a filtered view and privacy.
Motorized blinds and shades operate with the push of a button to create
instant privacy or light. They’re especially helpful for hard-to-reach windows
above a counter, above a bathtub or in a tall foyer.
Want even more choices? Consider sleek, contemporary vertical blinds. For
more casual décor, choose natural shades in woven bamboos, jutes, reeds
or straws. And don’t forget about colorful and affordable 1-inch aluminum
mini-blinds. A
