2. Measuring Your Window

Accurate measurements are crucial for a perfect fit. Lumino offers shades for both inside and outside mount installations. Please follow the instructions carefully for your chosen mounting type.

2.1. Inside Mount Measurement

For an inside mount, the shade will fit within the window frame. Measure the exact width of your window frame at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the smallest of these three measurements. For height, measure at the left, center, and right, and record the largest measurement. Lumino blinds are precision-cut to be ½" narrower than the ordered width to ensure an ideal inside mount.

This diagram illustrates the process of measuring window width and height for an inside mount installation, emphasizing measuring at three points and recording the smallest width and largest height.

2.2. Outside Mount Measurement

For an outside mount, the shade will cover the window opening and overlap the frame. To determine the width, measure the area you want to cover and add at least 4 inches to your window width to ensure full coverage and prevent light gaps. For height, add at least 1.5 inches above the window to avoid light gaps. Use the longest height measurement.

This diagram details how to measure for an outside mount installation, including adding extra width and height for full coverage and light gap prevention.
