How to Measure
 |
Measuring
for window treatments is much easier than most people think. Just
follow these tips: Use a steel measuring tape. Measure to the
nearest eighth of an inch - don't round your measurements. On
your notes clearly indicate which measurement is the width and
which is the height. It is very common to transpose measurements.
We custom make your blinds to the sizes you give us. If these
sizes are incorrect it is impossible to change the blind, so take
your time and double check your measurements. |

Horizontal
Blinds:
Inside Mount
(IB): Measure the opening
width at the top, center and bottom, recording the narrowest width.
Measure the height left, right and center, recording the longest
height. We will make width deductions to allow for operating clearance.
Outside Mount (OB):
Measure the opening width. If there is room, add at least
3" to each side of the window opening for minimum light gap
and maximum privacy. Measure the opening height. Add a minimum
of 2" in height to allow for mounting brackets above the
opening and add your desired overlap for the bottom. |

Vertical
Blinds:
Inside Mount (IB):
Measure the width top, center and bottom, recording the narrowest
width. Measure height left, right and center recording the shortest
height. We will allow for operating clearance.
Outside Mount (OB): Measure the opening width. If there
is room, add at least 4" on each side of the window opening to
ensure minimum light gap. Measure the opening height . Add a minimum
of 2½" to the height to allow for mounting brackets above the
opening and add your desired overlap for the bottom. |
