Choosing the Correct Size
Accurate measurement is crucial for proper fit and function. Consider whether you will be using an inside mount or an outside mount.
- Outside Mount: To ensure full window coverage, the shade width should be at least 4 inches wider than the window's width. For example, if your window is 30 inches wide, an order size of 34 inches or more is recommended. There is no specific requirement for window depth.
- Inside Mount: The order width should be the exact window width or slightly less (0-1 inch less) for internal installation. A minimum of 2 inches of frame depth is required. Note that the fabric width will be approximately 1 inch narrower than the total shade width.
- Height: The shade height is adjustable from 0 to 72 inches, accommodating various window heights.
