4.1 Measurement Guidelines

Accurate measurements are crucial for proper fit and function. Determine whether you will use an inside mount or an outside mount before measuring.

• Height: Measure the exact height of the window opening. Order height ≤ 72 inches.
• Window Depth: Minimum 2 inches or 4 inches required for flush mount.

Outside Mount:

• Width: Measure the desired width to cover the window opening, typically window width + 4 inches for optimal light blockage and privacy.
• Height: Measure the desired height. Order height ≤ 72 inches.

Note: For custom sizes, refer to the specific custom product measurement rules provided at the time of purchase.
