Outside mounting eliminates this entirely. The shade fabric extends \u003cstrong\u003e2–4 inches beyond the window opening\u003c\/strong\u003e on all sides, and the brackets mount directly to the wall. When lowered, the shade forms a complete seal against the wall surface. No gaps, no glow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWindow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnlargement \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEffect\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy extending the shade beyond the trim, you \u003cstrong\u003evisually enlarge the window\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is especially effective for small or awkwardly placed windows, or when you want to create a more dramatic focal point. Choosing a valance that matches the wall color further blurs the boundaries. Designers often use outside mounting to make narrow windows appear wider and short windows appear taller.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShallow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eObstructed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecesses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome windows have recesses too shallow for standard inside‑mount hardware. Others contain cranks, handles, alarms, or security bars that interfere with installation. Outside mounting bypasses all these obstacles. The shade mounts to the wall or ceiling above the opening, clearing any obstructions. This is also the preferred method for French doors, casement windows, and sliding glass doors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcross \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShade \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Mount Roller Shades\u003c\/strong\u003e — All fabrics and opacities; sleek and minimalist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Mount Roman Shades\u003c\/strong\u003e — Flat, hobbled, and relaxed styles; soft, elegant folds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Mount Cellular Shades\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single‑cell and double‑cell; insulating and quiet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Mount Zebra Shades\u003c\/strong\u003e — All band widths and fabrics; adjustable light control\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Mount Sheer Shades\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2\" and 2.5\" vanes; contemporary and clean\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll styles can be ordered with extended brackets and custom projection depths.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDecorative \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eValance \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBecause the headrail is visible in an outside‑mount installation, we offer several \u003cstrong\u003edecorative valances\u003c\/strong\u003e to conceal it:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric‑Wrapped Valance\u003c\/strong\u003e — Upholstered in your exact shade fabric for seamless integration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Cassette\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sleek, powder‑coated metal housing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCornice Box\u003c\/strong\u003e — Upholstered wood frame for architectural presence\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturn Panels\u003c\/strong\u003e — Matching side panels that enclose the shade on three sides for a built‑in look\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eValances hide the operating mechanism and create a polished, finished appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCustom \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProjection \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDepths\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWalls aren’t always flat—baseboards, trim, tile, and molding can require the shade to stand off the wall.
