Inside Mount
* Order at the exact opening size with no deductions. We'll deduct 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) during production to ensure proper installation.
Measure Depth
1. Measure Window Depth
Measure the depth of the window frame. If less than 2.4 inches or an obstruction (lever, crank) is present, we recommend choosing Outside Mount.
Measure Width
2. Measure Window Width
Order Width = The Smallest Window Width measured at Width 1 (Top), Width 2 (Middle), and Width 3 (Bottom).
Measure Height
3. Measure Window Height
Order Height = The Highest Window Height measured at Height 1 (Left), Height 2 (Center), and Height 3 (Right).

How To Measure Multiple Shades
Measure Window Example
2 Shades Side by Side in One Window
Exceed the maximum width and install two shades side by side.

Inside Mount:
Frame Depth (D) ≥ 2.4 Inch
Shade A: Order Width = Half of W1 ; Order Height = H1
Shade B: Order Width = Half of W1 ; Order Height = H1

Outside Mount
Shade A: Order Width = Half of W2; Order Height = H2
Shade B: Order Width = Half of W2; Order Height = H2
Vertical Measure Window Example
3 Window Panels with Mullions
Inside Mount:
Frame Depth (D) ≥ 2.4 Inch
Shade A: Order Width = W1 ; Order Height = H1
Shade B: Order Width = W2 ; Order Height = H1
Shade C: Order Width = W3 ; Order Height = H1

Outside Mount
Shade A: Order Width = W4 (Panel4 Width Inside plus desired overlap); Order Height = H2
Shade B: Order Width = W5 (Panel5 Width Inside); Order Height = H2
Shade C: Order Width = W6 (Panel6 Width Inside plus desired overlap); Order Height = H2
