4. Setup & Installation
4.1. Measuring Your Window
Accurate measurements are crucial for proper fit and function. Determine if you will use an Inside Mount or Outside Mount.
Image: Visual guide for measuring window dimensions for both inside and outside mount installations.
- Inside Mount: Measure the exact width of your window opening at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest measurement. Subtract 1/4 inch from the width for the shade. Window depth should be at least 2 inches.
- Outside Mount: Measure the desired width and height to cover the window frame. Add at least 4 inches to the window width for optimal light blocking.
- The adjustable height range of shades is up to 72 inches.

4.2. No-Drill Installation Steps
These shades feature a no-drill design for easy installation, especially suitable for inside mounts. Mounting accessories are included for both no-drill and traditional screw-in methods.
- Step 1: Place the end of the shade with the no-drill device to the left side of the window frame. Push it up against the wall.
- Step 2: If there is a gap between the top rail and the window frame, use a silicone pad to stick to the right side of the top rail. Insert the opposite side of the shade into the window frame.
- Step 3: After installation, tighten the safety lock using the provided hex key to secure the shade in place.
