Good to Know

The rear color of each shade may not match the front of the shade. In most cases the Lifestyle Collection will be a similar color to the front while the other collections will be white or off-white.
Shades over 98" wide will have a horizontal seam when choosing colors from the Essential Collection. Seam is placed as high as possible on shade so, in most cases, it remains hidden.
Continuous Cord Loop is a color-coordinated cord with plastic beads.
Continuous Cord Loop will have a defaulted lift cord location to the left side.
The safety device is required by law and must be applied on chain loops and prevents free-hanging loops in operating chains. Install the safety device at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism to prevent slack in the loop.
Products come with 10" - 14" of extra fabric to conceal roller.
Fascia and cassette colors coordinate with the color of hardware selected.
Cordless Shades ordered with the Solid Bottom Rail will have a handle attached, while Cordless Shades ordered with the Fabric Wrapped Bottom Rail do not have a handle.
Cornice Size on Inside mount will be 1/8'' smaller than the ordered width with no side returns and no brackets included.
Cornice Size on Outside mount will be 1 1/8'' larger than the ordered width with 3 1/2'' returns, brackets included.
For 2 Shades on 1 headrail there will be a 7/8" - 1" space between shades. Cord and Wand controls for these shades will be on opposite ends. .

Measuring

Inside Mount Instructions

Measuring the width

The width measurement is taken from the inside edge of the window frame at the top.
If you are getting 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 will be the width you order.

Measuring the height

The height measurement is taken from the window frame in three places (top left, center, and top right down to the window sill).
Record the largest height out of the 3 measurements up to the nearest 1/8”.
If you are getting 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.
