General Window Terms Inside Mount - the blind or shade in mounted inside a window the casing. Proper depth is required for inside mounting. Outside Mount - the blind or shade is mounted on the window casing or on the wall. Casing (molding) - is the frame around the window. Sill - projects like a shelf at the bottom of the window. Apron - decorative molding that is below the sill

Inside Mount Inside mounting your blinds and shades can give you a "built-in" appearance after it is installed. Be aware of obstacles such as cranks and handles that can interfere with the operation of the blinds. If you have that problem, then we recommend outside mounting.

Inside Depth Each product has a different headrail system for operating the blind or shade. The size of the headrail varies from product to product and the depth of your window must meet the minimum depth for inside mount. If you want your blind or shade to be flush mounted, then you will need to review the Depth Chart at the bottom of the page for minimum and flush mounting requirements.

Inside Diagonal Your window must be square for your blind or shade to function properly. Measure the widow diagonally in two directions. If your measurements are different by more that 1/2", then you should not inside mount.

Inside Width Measure the width inside your window on the top, middle and bottom. Write down the shortest of the three measurements. This is your width to order. The factory makes a small automatic "inside mount" fit deduction from your ordered width. You do not need to calculate any width deductions yourself when ordering.

Inside Length Measure the vertical length inside your window on both sides and in the middle. Write down the longest of the three measurements. This is your length to order. You don't want to add extra inches to the length. The blind will bunch at the bottom and look unprofessional. You want the bottom of the blind or shade to just "kiss" the bottom of the window sill.


Outside Mount Outside mounting of your shades and blinds simply means mounting directly on the window casing (molding) or on the wall. Outside mounting can be the only option on windows that lack sufficient depth for inside mounting. You can make a window look larger with outside mounting and you can achieve increased room darkening qualities by extending the shade a few inches beyond the casing.

Two Direction Measuring Measure the outside casing to outside casing for the width. You can add extra width to your measurement if you want to completely cover the sides casings with the blind or increase room darkening. Then measure from the top of the casing to the sill. This is your length measurement. If you don't have a window sill, measure 1" past the bottom of the apron.

Casing (Moulding) Mount Measure the width at the top of the casing as shown in the diagram. For nearly all blinds and shades, you can add extra width to the casing measurements to cover the side casings or increase room darkening. On wood and faux wood blinds, you can only add a maximum of 1/2" to the casing-to-casing width. The brackets are mounted on the outer edge of the casing and anything beyond an extra 1/2" will not give you enough space for the mounting screws. If you are wall mounting, this limitation can be ignored. For length, measure from the top of the casing to the sill. You don't want to add extra inches to the length. The blind will bunch at the bottom and look unprofessional. You want the bottom of the blind or shade to just "kiss" the window sill. If you don't have a window sill, extend the shade 1" past the apron.

Wall Mount You can mount all blinds and shades on the wall. If you are looking to make you window appear larger, increase room darkening or avoid drilling into decorative window casing. Mounting above the window casing also reduces the effects of stacking when the shade or blind is in the fully open position. You may require extension brackets if you need to clear cranks or decorative window casing. Measure from the sill up to the desired high point on the wall above your casing. This is your length measurement. Remember, you want the bottom of the blind or shade to just "kiss" the window sill. If you don't have a sill, you want the shade to drop down about 1" past the apron so it is not visible when the shade is in the closed position.

Headrail* & Fabric Deductions

Deductions are made to the width of the Sheer Window Shade depending on the selected mounting type
For all mounting types, shades will measure exactly the length ordered when the vanes are in the open or "view through" position
Because the vanes rotate when closing, the shading will become 3/8" longer in the closed position
If preferred, Sheer Shades can be ordered at 3/8" less than the measured length. In this case, the bottom rail will be positioned 3/8" above the sill when the vanes are in the open position. Rotating the vanes closed will cause the bottom rail to meet the sill, closing any space
Due to variations in fabric weave and other environmental conditions, the finished dimensions for both width and length may vary plus or minus 1/8" from your order measurements
For Side-by-Side application, vane alignment can be guaranteed within 1/4" if:
1. The shades are ordered at the same time, are the same color, style and length
2. The total width of all window openings does not exceed 112"
3. Side-by-Side installation is indicated when the order is placed

Outside Mount

Measure the exact width and length of the area to be covered. On the width, allow at least 1-1/2" of overlap on each side. An overlap of 3" on each side is recommended

Inside Mount

Headrail will measure ordered width less: 3/16"
Fabric will measure ordered width less: 1-1/8"

* Headrail measurement includes end caps
