Setup & Installation
Proper measurement and installation are crucial for optimal performance of your roller shade. Always use a metal tape measure for accuracy.
1. Measuring Your Window
Determine whether you will use an Inside Mount or an Outside Mount. Refer to the diagrams and video below for detailed measuring instructions.
Video: This video guides you through the process of accurately measuring your windows for both inside and outside mount LEVOLOR blinds and shades.
Inside Mount Measurement:
- Measure the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the window frame to the nearest 1/8 inch. Order the narrowest width.
- Measure the height at the left, middle, and right of the window frame to the nearest 1/8 inch. Order the height that most closely matches the longest measurement, rounding up if needed.
- Note any obstacles (cranks, handles, tracks) that may interfere with the shade's function.

Outside Mount Measurement:
- Measure the width between the outermost points where you want the shade to extend. Overlap each side by at least 3/4 inch.
- Measure the height from the highest point where you intend to install the shade to the sill where the bottom will rest. Overlap the top by at least 3 inches when possible. If there is no sill, measure at least 3 inches below the bottom of the window.
