Measuring

Inside Mount Instructions

Measuring the width

Measuring the height

Start by measuring the height from the inside of the window’s frame (the left, middle, and right).
Record the largest height out of the 3 measurements up to the nearest 1/8”.
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 will be the height you order.

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

Measuring the height

The height of the window needs to be exact. Start with measuring at the left, the middle, and finish up by measuring the right side of the window opening. 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.
You now have the right height to use when ordering your solar shades.
