Select a mount type:
Inside mount blinds and shades are mounted inside the window frame. This option provides a clean, custom look and is considered the most popular choice. This is a great option if you do not wish to cover the window moldings.
Outside mounted blinds and shades are mounted outside the window, on your wall or molding. This option can make a window appear larger. It is also a solution if the window does not meet the depth requirement for an inside mount
Do you need any special mounting hardware?
Spacer Blocks are used with mounting brackets to provide additional space between the mounting surface and the blind. Spacer blocks are used in certain outside mount applications where there is raised trim, molding, or window framing.
Hold Down Brackets are used to secure the bottom rail of your blind or window shade to the mounting surface. These are most commonly used when mounting blinds or shades to a door.
Extension Brackets are sometimes needed to install outside mount blinds over raised trim or window framing
Select a size (in inches): how to measure
NOTE:
Due to the weight, we recommend that blinds wider than 72" be made as a 2 blinds or 3 blinds on one headrail. Dividing a large blind into two or three smaller ones makes it much easier to operate, and will extend the life of the lifting mechanism.
Please note, there will be a small gap (about 1/2") between each of the segments of the blind.
You may purchase your selection as a single headrail if you prefer. Please select from the 3 choices offered.

Measuring: Inside Mount
- Always measure each window you plan to cover. Windows of different sizes can appear deceptively similar.
- Measure in 3 locations for width and height. Use the smallest measurement (if they are not all the same) rounding down to the nearest 1/8 in.
- Do not make any deductions, allowances or additions.
- Check for squareness by measuring on diagonals.
- Note: If diagonal measurement differs by more than 1/8 in., choose outside mount instead.
- STEP 1 – Find the width: Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" between the inside surfaces of window frame in three places (across the top, across the middle, and across the bottom – see image). Use the narrowest measurement when ordering the width. Do not make any additional width deductions – the factory will make the appropriate deductions to ensure proper fitting.
- STEP 2 – Find the height: Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" from inside surface at top of window to the window sill in three places (on the left, middle, and right – see image). Use the longest measurement when ordering the height. If you prefer blind not to touch sill, deduct 1/4". If there is no sill, measure to the point where blind is to reach.
Measuring: Outside Mount
- Always measure each window you plan to cover. Windows of different sizes can appear deceptively similar.
- Use a steel / metal tape measure for accuracy.
- Record measurements to the nearest 1/8" of an inch. Make sure you clearly indicate width from the height. It's very easy to accidentally transpose measurements.
- Measure the height to the outer edges of the molding in 3 places (your molding is part of the measurement). If you have a sill, measure from the top of the sill to the top of the molding. Measure the window height in 3 places. Record the longest measurement rounding up to the nearest 1/8 in.
- Do not take any deductions, allowances or additions.
- STEP 1 – Find the width: Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" between the outermost points where the blind is to be placed. For optimum light control, this measurement should extend at least 3/4" beyond the window opening on each side (or 1 1/2" for the entire width)
- STEP 2 – Find the height: Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" from where top of blind will be located to the top of the window sill. If there is no sill, or if blind is to overlap the window frame, measure to the point where the blind is to reach.
