Measuring:

·                Inside Mount: Please provide us with the exact measurements of your window opening. Do not make any deductions, as the manufacturer will make the necessary deduction to the width to ensure a proper fit inside of the window. For optimal light and glare control, outside mount is recommended, or you may add a secondary soft window treatment to hide the light gap on an inside mount.

·                Outside Mount: Please provide us with exact measurement of the area you want to cover. The manufacturer will not make any deductions.

·                Please Note: Fabric width is 1 1/8” to 1 3/8” narrower than the finished shade width of the tube and its components on continuous Cord Loop Shades. Fabric is 1” narrower than fabric shade width of the tube and components (without valance or side covers) on cordless shades.
