How to Measure EcoSmart Shades:

• Use a metal tape measure and measure to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
  
  
• Print out the Easy Measuring Guide form to write down your measurements. (Alternately use Skylight Measuring Guide  or Energy Side Track Measuring Guide)
  
  
• Width: Measure the exact inside measurement of the window at three different places.  Write the measurements down on the Easy Measuring Guide. Circle and use the narrowest measurement

• Length: Measure the exact inside distance from top of window to the sill at three different places. (See diagram below.) Write the measurement down on the Easy Measuring Guide.  Circle the longest measurement. (Except for Skylight shades - which require the shortest.)
  
  
• Always double check your measurements!
  
  
• Window shades come with universal brackets which can be used for either inside or outside mounts.
  

Inside Mount Window Shades:

Whenever possible, we recommend an inside (recessed) mount for a more finished appearance. An inside mount requires at least 1/2" of flat surface depth to screw the bracket onto for Standard or Duofold Hardware. Continuous Cord or Cordless hardware requires 3/4".

To allow for clearance, we make inside mount shades approximately 3/8" narrower than the width you specify. The length is as you specify.

• Width: Measure the exact inside measurement of the window at the Top, Middle and Bottom. (See diagram below.) Write the measurements down on the Easy Measuring Guide. Circle the narrowest measurement
  
  
• Length: Measure the exact inside distance from top of window to the sill at the Left, Middle and Right. Write the measurement down on the Easy Measuring Guide. Circle the longest measurement.

For Inside Mounts, use the "inside" lines to measure. For Outside Mounts, use the outside lines to measure.

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).
