Fit & Factory Deductions

Recommendations

For inside mount, measure your window in three places (top, middle, bottom) and use the top measurement when ordering. Don’t worry about factory adjustments—we handle that for you.
Inside mounted shades may have slight gaps on the sides or top. For better light coverage, consider an outside mount.
Some options require additional mounting depth and may not be compatible with all window frames. Be sure your window meets the requirements before ordering.
For a safer, clutter-free space, choose cordless or motorized options—perfect for homes with children and pets. Motorized shades arrive partially charged and should be recharged before first use.
Most cellular shades include a neutral white backing and color-coordinated components. Small gaps are normal due to standard factory deductions (±1/8"), along with slight color variations or minor adjustments over time.

No Drill

IMPORTANT MEASURING TIP: If Click2Fit No-Drill Blinds is chosen, take all three standard width measurements (top, middle, bottom) to check for variance, but be sure to input the exact measurement of the top of your window frame into the width field. Compare the three measurements, and if the variance between them exceeds 1/4", Click2Fit No-Drill Blinds may not fit properly.
Click2Fit No-Drill Blinds is only available for Inside Mount, and requires 1 1/2" or 2 1/2" of depth to install based on option selected. It is not recommended for use with PVC window frames.
Factory will deduct approximately 1/4" off of the Click2Fit No-Drill Blinds headrail, regardless of lift style.
Click2Fit No-Drill Blinds headrail is only available in the color White, Vanilla, Grey, Brown, and Black, and will be visible after installation. A small gap may also be present between the headrail and the shade after installation.
The locking mechanism on the Click2Fit No-Drill Blinds headrail will be located on the right side for each lift style.
Cordless Lift-n-Lock and Cordless Lift-n-Lock Top Down Bottom Up with Click2Fit No-Drill Blinds is only available with 2 1/2" or more window depth.

Good to Know

All lift systems come with color coordinated painted rails.

Measuring

Inside Mount Instructions

Measuring the width

To determine the width, measure from left to right on the top, middle, and the bottom. Use the smallest width out of those numbers.
If you get a 1/16” or 1/32” increment, round down to the nearest 1/8”. (For example, if the smallest measurement is 24 9/16", round down to 24 1/2". If it's 24 3/8", no need to round down.)
This is the width you will use when ordering.

Measuring the height

To determine the height, measure from top to bottom on the top left, then the center of the window, and then the top right to the bottom of the window sill. Use the largest height out of those numbers.
If you get a 1/16” or 1/32” increment, round up to the nearest 1/8”. (For Example, If the largest measurement is 24 9/16", round up to 24 5/8". If it's 24 1/2", no need to round up.)
This is the height you will use when ordering.

Outside Mount Instructions

An outside mount is a great choice for better light coverage, since it fully covers the window and frame. To get the right fit, you’ll need to account for a few extra measurements when placing your order. We’ll custom make your shade to the exact dimensions you provide—no automatic additions are made.

Flat Surface Requirements

Start by choosing where you’d like to mount your shade. You’ll need at least 1-2½” of flat mounting space. For more details, check the product page and review the “Specifications” tab.

Measuring the width

Begin by measuring the exact width of the window opening in three main places (top, middle, and bottom).
Record the largest width out of the 3 measurements.
You’ll use that measurement and add the recommended minimum of 4 inches. This will ensure the window is properly covered. For more light coverage and privacy, add even more to the measurement.
When ordering, use this final number for the width.

Measuring the height

Measuring the height is easy. Simply measure the height of the window in three places, including the top left, the middle, and the top right, all ending at the bottom of the sill. You’ll use the largest of the three measurements and add the recommended minimum of 4 inches. This will ensure the window is properly covered.
The final number you come up with will be the height you use when placing your order.
