Measurement - Inside Mount

Inside Mounting

(a) Measure the windows dimensions and record on the room log.

Always measure with a 3/4-1" wide steel tape. 

Measure the exact width to the nearest eighth of an inch (1/8").

Don't be surprised if your window is not perfectly square. Most are not. Measure each window separately, even if they look the same!

 

 

(b) Width measurement

      

For the width, Measure the the exact inside width of the window opening between jambs. Measure the top, middle and bottom widths of each window. Use the narrowest width. (example: 34 1/2"-top, 34 3/8"- middle and 34 5/8"- bottom, choose size 34 3/8 for the narrowest window size.)

(C) Height measurement

(d) Diagonal measurement

If you suspect your window is not square, measure the window diagonally in two directions. If the measurement is not within a 1/4", you might be better advised to use an outside mount for your blinds.

(e) Window Sill measurement

   Measure the window sill depth.

(f) Control Location

Choose the location for the tilt and raise controls cords, this is either on the left or right side of each blind.

(Tip1) : On your notes clearly indicate which measurement is the width and which is the height. It is very common to transpose measurements. Try to always measure the width first, then height. (this is the most common error we have encountered)

(Tip2) : We recommend a 2nd person retaking the measurement to verify the dimensions of each windows. (When you specify an inside mount, WE will make about an 1/4" deduction on both sides so your products will operate properly and not rub against your window frame.)
