Measuring for Outside Mount
WIDTH
Measure the width by gathering measurements above the window's threshold. Mark and measure where you would like the outside edge of your brackets to be on both the left and right side centered above the window.
Observe the mounting area above the window to ensure there are no obstructions that can cause issues during installation.
This measurement is considering the width of the full shade assembly and hardware. It is recommended that the width of this measurement exceeds past both the left and right side of the window jamb opening by two inches to ensure complete fabric coverage. The width of the fabric will be roughly an inch and a half to two inches less than the full shade assembly depending on header style and configuration.
HEIGHT
Measure the height of the window from the bottom center of the window jamb vertically to the desired mounting position above the window.
Measuring for Inside Mount
WIDTH
Measure the width of the window by gathering measurements at center depth at the top of the window jamb from left edge to right edge inside the window jamb.
It is recommended to take 1/8 of an inch off the total width for an ensured fit inside the window jamb.
HEIGHT
Measure the height of the window from the top inside jamb vertically to the bottom inside jamb while measuring down the center.
DEPTH
Measure the inside top jamb on the left and right side from the back of the jamb to the surface. Take the shortest of the two measurements.
