On Outside Mounts:
*If there is no sill, measure at least 1 1/2" longer than the bottom of the window (from point A to point B).
For Inside Mounts, use the "inside" lines to measure. For Outside Mounts, use the outside lines to measure
How to Measure Outside Mounts:
-
-
Use a metal tape measure and measure to the nearest 1/8".
-
Width: Measure the exact outside measurement of the window at three different places. Write the measurements down on the Easy Measuring Guide. Plan on overlapping the window. We recommend about 1 1/2" on each side.
-
Length: Measure the exact outside distance from top to sill at three different places. Write the measurement down on the Easy Measuring Guide. Circle the longest measurement. If there is no sill, allow the shade to overlap the bottom of the window casing by at least 1 1/2".(from A to B in the diagram above)
-
Recheck your measurements.
-
We make shades for Outside Mounts exactly the length and width you specify.
