You’ll need approximately 2 ½” of flat space to have an outside mount. Find more flat surface mounting information in the “Product Info” tab under the product information page.
Measuring the Width
- For the width, measure the window opening in three places (top, middle, and bottom), and use the widest of the three measurements.
- Take that number and add a minimum of 2" to each side, for a total of 4 inches, for the best coverage.
- Use this width when ordering.
Measuring the Height
- Measure the top left, center, and top right of the window to find the height.
- Take the biggest measurement and add at least 2" on the top and bottom, adding more depending on the amount of light coverage you’re looking for, and that will be the number you’ll use when ordering.
- If you have several windows in a room that are all similar in height, order all of them at the largest height to ensure similar pleats.
