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 3" 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 3/4". 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 shortest. 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 3/8" to your blind's width and 1/4" to your blind's height to allow room for installation and for proper movement of the blind within the window opening.

Width:

• Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the blind extends about 3" 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.
