4. Measurement and Installation
Accurate measurements are crucial for a proper fit. Please follow the guidelines below. The product is custom-made based on your provided dimensions.
4.1 How to Measure
Determine whether you need an inside mount (within the window frame) or an outside mount (outside the window frame).
Figure 2: Measurement guide for inside and outside mounts.
- Inside Mount: Measure the exact width and height of the window opening in three places (top, middle, bottom for width; left, middle, right for height). Use the smallest measurement. Also, measure the window frame depth. A minimum depth of 1.87 inches is required. If the depth is less than 2.75 inches, the valance may extend beyond the window frame.
- Outside Mount: Measure the desired width and height to cover the window opening, typically adding 1 to 6 inches to both width and height for optimal light blockage and privacy.
- Important Note: Do not measure the size of the fabric itself. Provide the window opening dimensions for inside mount, or the desired total shade dimensions for outside mount.

4.2 Mounting the Brackets
Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the brackets. Ensure the brackets are level and spaced correctly to support the shade.
- Mark the desired position for the brackets using a pencil.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, then secure the brackets with screws. For drywall, use appropriate anchors.
- For inside mount, ensure the brackets are flush with the top of the window frame.
- For outside mount, ensure the brackets are securely mounted to the wall or ceiling above the window.
