Make sure your window has enough depth for inside mounted sheer shades. For more details on the specific requirements, head over to the product’s information page and click on the "Specifications" tab.
Measuring the Width
- The width measurement is found by measuring the inside of the window frame in three locations – the top, middle, and bottom. Choose the smallest of these measurements.
- If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment, round down to the nearest 1/8". (For example, if the smallest measurement is 24 9/16", round down to 24 1/2". If it's 24 3/8", no need to round down.)
- And that’s it! That’s the width measurement you’ll use when placing your order for sheer shades.
Measuring the Height
- The height measurement is found by measuring the inside of the window frame in three locations – the top left, center, and the top right. Choose the largest of these measurements.
- If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment, round up to the nearest 1/8". (For example, if the largest measurement is 24 9/16", round up to 24 5/8". If it's 24 1/2", no need to round up.)
- And that’s it! That’s the height measurement you’ll use when placing your order for sheer shades.
We’ll handle any necessary deductions based on the measurements you provide, so there’s no need to adjust your own measurements. Don’t add to the width in anticipation of deductions. We’ve got it covered. If you’re looking for more light coverage, consider an outside mount.
Please review the deduction chart below that we’ll use when making your order. You do not need to take any additional deductions.
