How To Measure For New Window Shades

 MEASURING THE LENGTH MEASURING THE WIDTH

Measure the exact distance between the points where the brackets are to be placed, inside the window casement. Specify on your order "Inside Bracket Mounting" (IBM). Factory allows for bracket clearance.

Measure between the points where brackets are to be placed. It is recommended that the brackets be placed to allow ½" to 2" overlap on each side of the casement. Specify on your order "Outside Bracket Mounting (OBM).

Measure the full height of your window opening from top frame to lower sill and add 12 inches. This extra 12 inches is the "safety margin" to permit the shade to be drawn full length with no danger of it being torn from the roller.
To Replace Old Shades
Measuring the width Measure your old roller (never the cloth) from the outside edge of one metal cap to the other. Measure as shown and SPECIFY on your order; BARREL MEASURE. Be sure to measure length.
