How to Measure Your Windows
Do you want to know how to measure for window blinds ? Then all you need is paper, pen and steel tape for accurate measuring of window blinds. Please measure the blinds and then each window that will have blinds. Now you are ready to begin measuring a window for blinds!
To help decide where to mount your custom window blinds, you have the choice of an inside casing mount or an outside casing mount. If you plan to accent your window and install window blinds and curtains, inside mounting is the way to go. If you want to keep out those bright rays that sneak into your bedroom on a Sunday morning, consider outside-mounted blinds, where you can add a few overlapping inches to block out more light.
To ensure that your custom window blinds fit properly, please measure blinds and then follow the instructions below.
FOR INSIDE CASING MOUNT
1.Measure the inside width of your window in 3 different places and use the narrowest
width.
2. Measure the inside length of your window from the top of the window opening to the top of the windowsill. If there is no windowsill, measure to the desired blind length.
3. State your measurements to the nearest 1/4 of an inch or 1/8 and indicate that on your order.
4. The factory will take deductions on inside mounts to allow for installation clearance.
Do not take deductions.
5. When placing your order, always give customer service the width measurement first and height.length second. This information will be repeated back to you for clarification.
Minimum Bracket Depth Requirements
Faux Wood Blinds: 1-1/2 inches
Real Wood Blinds 2-1/2 inches
OUTSIDE CASING MOUNT
The measurements you give us will be the exact measurements the factory uses to make your blinds, so you must add inches for overlap. Follow the steps below to get accurate measurements.
1. Measure the exact width and length of the entire area you want to cover. If you would like extra light control and privacy, we recommend that you add the following to your measurements:
- Horizontal blinds– add 1 to 1-1/2 inches on each side and 3 inches to the length .
- Vertical blinds – add 3 inches minumum on each side and 3 inches minimum to overall length.
2. State measurements to the nearest 1/4 inch.
3. When placing your order, always give customer service the width measurement first and the height/length second. This will be repeated back to you for clarification.
Please give us a call today with your measurements to get a free estimate over the phone. This is a preliminary quote as it will be based on a mid range quality blind and there are several choices to consider for the final price. Your designer will go over these choices with you when working to place your order.
