Understanding Deductions for Inside Mounts
When it comes to inside mounts, shades typically have a variety of deductions taken off. For example, most Roman shades have a simple ½” deduction, but other styles like roller shades can have a 1/8” deduction on the roll and 1 ½” deduction on the fabric. This can vary 1/8" from product to product, so we recommend checking the product page or the measuring guide for the product.
Quick Measuring Tips
- Use a steel measuring tape.
- If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment for width, round down to the nearest 1/8".
- If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment for height, round up to the nearest 1/8".
- Always check your product's specifications at the bottom of each product page to ensure accurate measurements.
