Make sure your window has enough depth for an inside mount. 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 taken from the inside edge of the window frame at the top.
- If you are getting 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.)
- This will be the width you order.
Measuring the Height
- The height measurement is taken from the window frame in three places (top left, center, and top right down to the window sill).
- Record the largest height out of the three measurements up to the nearest 1/8”.
- If you are getting 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.)
- This will be the height you order.
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.
Check out the chart below for automatic deductions on zebra shades. You do not need to take any additional deductions.
Zebra shades are a timeless choice, but they’re far from boring. With modern designs and trendy patterns, you’re sure to find the perfect look that suits your style.
