how to measure window for blinds
QUICK TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
(Please check "Product Specs" below for more detailed info)
- Use a steel tape measure for best accuracy.
- Measure to the nearest 1/8'' - don't round your measurements.
- Before taking any measurements, step back from your window and decide if you want to mount the window treatment inside the window recess, or outside on the wall.
- Choose the inside mount to: Give your window a clean and simple look, or highlight attractive window moldings.
- Choose the outside mount to: Minimize light gaps and offer more privacy, make your window appear larger, and hide windows that are crooked or unattractive.
- Your window needs to be deep enough for an inside mount. For shades width narrower than 47'', the minimum depth is 1 ⅞''. For shades wider than 47'' (include 47''), the minimum depth is 2 ⅞’’.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSIDE MOUNT
Inside-mounted cellular shades fit inside the window casing.
- Measuring the width: The width measurement is taken from the inside edge of the window frame at the top. Always measure to the nearest ⅛’’, and be sure to use a steel measuring tape. Your order width=Your window width-¼’’.
- Measuring the depth: Your window needs to be deep enough for an inside mount. For shades width narrower than 47’’, the minimum depth is 1 ⅞’’. For shades wider than 47’’ (include 47’’), the minimum depth is 2 ⅞’’.
- Measuring the height: The height measurement is taken from the window frame in three places, top left, center, and top right down to the sill. Record the tallest height up to the nearest ⅛’’. This will be the height you order.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUTSIDE MOUNT
Outside-mounted cellular shades hang above the window, or on the wall surrounding the window.
- Measuring the width: Take the measurement at the top of the window frame. You’ll use that measurement and add the recommended 4 to 6 inches. This will ensure the window is properly covered. For more light coverage and privacy, add even more to the measurement.
- Measuring the height: Take it from three locations, the left, center, and the right. You’ll use the tallest height and add the recommended 4 to 6 inches. This will ensure the window is properly covered.
Please note that we only make your product to the dimensions you specify, with no additions made.
