Setup and Installation

Proper measurement and installation are crucial for optimal performance and appearance of your Lumino blinds. Mounting hardware is included with your purchase.

1. Measuring Your Window

Lumino blinds are precision-cut to ensure a perfect fit. It is essential to measure your window accurately before ordering. The ordered width will result in a blind that is 0.5 inches narrower to accommodate inside mounting.

For Inside Mount:

• Width: Measure the width of the window frame at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the smallest measurement.
• Height: Measure the height of the window frame at the left, center, and right. Record the tallest measurement. Round up to the next available length when ordering.
• For best fit, blinds ordered will include a 0.5-inch width deduction.

For Outside Mount:

• Width: Measure the top, middle, and bottom of the area you want to cover. Add at least 1.5 inches on each side (3 inches total) to prevent light gaps. Use the largest width measurement, then add 0.5 inches for the deduction.
• Height: Measure the left, center, and right of the area you want to cover. Add at least 1.5 inches above the window to avoid light gaps. Use the longest height measurement.
• Order using the final width and height measurements.
