How To Measure: Roller Shades

Items needed:

Writing tool and paper
A measuring tape in inches with a minimum 1/8” increment. (metal measuring tape is the best for accuracy)

Inside Mount Installation

Inside Mount:
1. Measure inside recess width in several places, particularly at the top of the recess. Measure inside recess height in several places.

2. Supply us with the exact recess measurements we’ll take the necessary deductions for you.

For example an inside mount spring roller shade that is ordered at 35" wide will have the following deductions:

-tip to tip deduction is 1/8" (34.875")
-barrel deduction is 5/8" (34.375")
-fabric deduction is 1 1/8" (33.875)

Outside Mount Installation

1. Take an exact width and height measurement of where you would like the window treatments to cover (including the headrail). We’ll take care of the rest. Unlike most of our other treatments, there are a few deductions on this outside mount.

For example an outside mount spring roller shade that is ordered at 35" wide will have the following deductions:

-tip to tip deduction is 0 (35")
-barrel deduction is 1/2" (34.5")
-fabric deduction is 1" (34")

Please give us a call if you need any additional information or if you would like to know the specific amount that will be taken on your order.
