4.2 Measurement Guide
Accurate measurements are crucial for a proper fit. Determine whether you will use an Inside Mount or Outside Mount installation.
Image 3: A detailed diagram showing how to measure for both inside mount and outside mount installations, including depth, width, and height considerations.
Inside Mount:
- Depth: Your window frame must be at least 3 inches deep to fit the motor and blind. If less than 3 inches, outside mount is advised.
- Width & Height: Submit the MIN width (W1, W2, W3) and MAX height (H1, H2, H3) of the window frame you measured.
- Order Width: Minimum Width.
- Order Height: Maximum Height.
- No need to adjust – we will automatically subtract 1/8 inch for a perfect fit.
Outside Mount:
- Width & Height: Measure the exact area you want to cover. Take the MAX width (W1, W2, W3) and MAX Height (H1, H2, H3).
- Order Width: Maximum Width + 6 inches (for better light blocking and privacy).
- Order Height: Maximum Height + 6 inches.
4.3 Installation Steps
- Determine Punch Position: Use your shade to determine the ideal mounting position for the brackets. Mark the positions with a pencil, ensuring equal distance from the edges.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions. For drywall, insert wall anchors.
- Install Brackets: Secure the mounting brackets using screws. Ensure they are level and firmly attached.
- Mount the Shade: Carefully align the shade with the installed brackets and snap it into place. Ensure it is securely seated.
