Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window!  Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:

• Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the blind would mount. The depth at the top of the window must be at least 1 1/8" to mount the brackets. To have a flush mount (meaning the blind is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3 3/8". If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.

How to Measure:

Let's start with the Width:

• Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right to the nearest 1/8" at three places: at the top of the opening, the middle of the opening, and then the bottom of the opening. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the narrowest. If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8".  That is your ordering width.

Now, let's do the Height:

• Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.

Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/2" to your blind's width (and 3/4" for the headrail) to allow room for installation and for proper movement of the blind within the window opening. No deductions will be made to your height.

Above the Window (No Trim)

Width:

• Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the blind extends about 2" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance. 
• Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.

Compared to traditional aluminum blinds, these have double the slat size which means that, when opened, the slats are further apart allowing you to have a better view of the outdoors. Try a metallic or black finish for a more contemporary look, or choose any of our white or neutral colors to easily mesh with any decor style. Our 2" blinds now feature an innovative cord-free design – to raise or lower the blind, just press the button on the bottom rail and move to the desired position – then release the button and the blind will stay in place! Durable, reliable, and hassle-free, you’ll enjoy having these blinds in your home or office.
