Yes. Every blind is manufactured according to the exact width and height you provide.
Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch (or nearest millimeter). Accurate measurements ensure the best fit.
For Inside Mount, the factory may make small deductions where necessary to ensure the blind operates smoothly inside the window frame.&lt;br&gt;<br><br>
For Outside Mount, the blind is usually manufactured to the exact dimensions ordered.
Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:
How to Measure:
Let's start with the Width:
Now, let's do the Height:
Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/8" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.
The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" – 1 1/2" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric). When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product.
No deductions will be made to the ordered height.
Outside Mount
3 minutes to measure
Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 1 1/2" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets for shades without a cassette valance, or at least 2" for shades with a cassette valance. Follow the directions below for where you'd like to install your shade.
If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.
Your ordered width will be the "tip to tip" measurement, which is the widest part of the top of the shade including the brackets and cassette valance (if applicable). The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" – 1 1/2" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" on each side. If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider – just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade.
Let's make sure you have what you need!

*If applicable to your order. If you did not order a cassette valance, you will receive two mounting brackets for either side of the shade. If you did order a cassette valance you will receive concealed cassette mounting brackets that will be installed across the metal cassette, across the width of the shade.
Please note that brackets and componentry may be updated or substituted over time due to availability or product improvements.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the paper wrapping around the shade's fabric until the shade is installed. Removing this paper prior to installation could result in the fabric shifting on the tube or it might alter the stop location of the fabric.

When it comes to roller shades, the fabric opacity is generally divided into "light filtering" (which provides privacy will still letting some ambient light pass through the shade) and "blackout" (where no light can pass through the shade fabric). The fabric on our Room Darkening roller shades is in between! These shades block between 90-99% of the incoming light to significantly darken the room without being completely blackout. This shade material features a white backing that minimizes light passing through the shade. And the darker the shade color, the more light is blocked! Customize your Room Darkening Roller Shade with your choice of lift system, cassette valance option and more.
