How to Measure Your Windows

Accurate measurements ensure a perfect fit every time. Follow our simple step-by-step guide below — or call us for a free in-home measure.

Step 1

Choose Your Mount Type

Before measuring, decide whether you want an Inside Mount (blind fits inside the window frame) or Outside Mount (blind covers the window frame).

INSIDE MOUNT
WIDTH HEIGHT
  • ✓ Measure inside the window frame
  • ✓ Measure width at top, middle & bottom — use the narrowest
  • ✓ Measure height at left, center & right — use the longest
  • ✓ Do not deduct anything — we make the fit adjustments
OUTSIDE MOUNT
WIDTH HEIGHT
  • ✓ Measure outside the window frame onto the wall
  • ✓ Add 2–3 inches on each side for better light blockage
  • ✓ Add 2–3 inches above the frame for height
  • ✓ Great for maximizing the appearance of window size
Step 2

Take Your Measurements

01
Measure the Width

Measure across the top, middle, and bottom of the window. Record the narrowest measurement to ensure the blind fits inside the frame.

02
Measure the Height

Measure from the top of the frame to the window sill on the left, center, and right. Record the longest measurement for a complete cover.

03
Check the Depth

For inside mounts, measure the depth of your window frame. Most blinds require at least 1.5" of depth. Shutters need at least 2.5".

Pro Tips

Before You Measure

Always use a metal tape measure — fabric tapes can stretch and give inaccurate readings.
Measure each window individually — even windows that look the same size are often slightly different.
Record measurements in inches to the nearest 1/8" for the most accurate custom fit.
Not sure? We offer free in-home measuring — our expert comes to you at no charge.

How to Install Your Window Treatments

Follow our step-by-step installation guide for a perfect fit — or let our professional team handle it for you, completely free.

Before You Begin

Tools You Will Need

🔩
Power Drill
For mounting brackets
📏
Tape Measure
For precise placement
🔧
Screwdriver
Phillips & flathead
📐
Level
For straight alignment
Method 1

Inside Mount Installation

Brackets are mounted inside the window frame for a clean, built-in appearance.

BRACKET BRACKET INSIDE MOUNT — brackets inside frame
1
Mark Bracket Positions
Hold the headrail up to the window opening and mark bracket positions at each end. Use a pencil to mark screw holes.
2
Mount the Brackets
Drill pilot holes and secure the brackets with the provided screws. Check they are level before tightening fully.
3
Snap in the Headrail
Slide the headrail into the brackets from the front. You should hear a click when it locks into place securely.
4
Test & Adjust
Raise and lower the blind to confirm smooth operation. Adjust tilt or tension if needed using the cord or wand.
Method 2

Outside Mount Installation

Brackets are mounted on the wall above and outside the window frame for maximum light blockage.

1
Mark Bracket Positions on Wall
Mark bracket positions 2–3 inches above and beyond each side of the window frame on the wall surface.
2
Check for Studs or Use Anchors
Use a stud finder. If no stud is available, use wall anchors to ensure the brackets are firmly secured.
3
Attach Brackets to Wall
Drill pilot holes, insert anchors if needed, and screw brackets firmly. Use a level to confirm alignment.
4
Snap in Headrail & Test
Click the headrail into the brackets and test the full range of motion. Ensure the blind hangs straight and operates smoothly.

Installation Tips

Common Mistakes to Avoid

!
Always drill pilot holes before inserting screws — this prevents the frame from cracking or splitting.
!
Always use a level when placing brackets — even a small tilt will be visible when the blind is installed.
!
Check for pipes or wires in the wall before drilling, especially near windowsills and frames.
!
Don't skip the test after install — raise and lower fully, then tilt slats to confirm everything moves freely.
