Measuring Instructions For

• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.
• Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: if the window opening is 72", it might be helpful to order 76". This will provide 2" coverage on each side of the window.
• There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
• Fabric will be made at ordered width and headrail will be made at ordered width plus 1/4".
• Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement.

• Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom.
• We recommend adding about 3 or 4 inches to this number to insure maximum light gap coverage and to cover the window completely.
• Please be sure to know that the height measurement will always include the headrail. Example: if the height ordered is 50", this will be the height including the headrail (from the very top of the headrail to the bottom rail).
• You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
