Comprehensive Description
Before installation, be mindful of obstacles in the window opening, such as cranks or handles, which can impede proper shade installation.
When measuring for your roller shade, remember that the fabric width is typically around 1/4 inch (0.635 cm) smaller than the valance size (order width) provided.
Inside Mount
- Width Measurement
Order width includes the width of the valance.
Measure the top width inside the window frame and round down to the nearest 1/8 inch.
ORDER AT THE EXACT OPENING SIZE WITH NO DEDUCTIONS.
Inside mounts are classified as Top Mount and Side Mount.
The default option when placing an order is Top Mount. The factory will make a small deduction of approximately 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) during production to ensure a safe and proper installation.
Attention: Please check if your windows have a splayed or recessed frame. If they do, measure the shortest width and use that measurement when placing your order; otherwise, the shades may not fit in the frame.
- Height Measurement
Order Height = Measured Window Height + 4 inches (for optimal appearance)
Measure the middle height inside the window frame and round up to the nearest 1/8 inch.
