Inside Mount

Measure the depth of the window frame. A minimum depth of 3.3 inches is required. Measure and submit the exact width and height inside the window frame. The submitted width and height are the finished product dimensions, including the top rail and bottom rod.

Outside Mount

Measure the width and height of the outside window frame. Add 3 to 6 inches to the exact width and height and submit. For outside mount blinds, it is recommended to add 3 to 6 inches to the exact width and height of the outside window frame to ensure no light leakage. This is a suggestion, and no additional size adjustments will be made automatically.
