{"title":"Overlap Outside Mount Zebra Shades","description":"\u003ch2\u003eZero Edge Light Leak\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe most common frustration with inside‑mount shades is the glow that escapes around the edges—especially when the window recess is shallow, uneven, or out of square. Outside mounting eliminates this issue entirely. The 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 \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete seal\u003c\/strong\u003e against the wall surface. No gaps, no halo, no light leak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWindow Enlargement Effect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy extending the shade beyond the trim, you \u003cstrong\u003evisually enlarge the window\u003c\/strong\u003e. This technique is especially effective for small or awkwardly placed windows, or when you want to create a more dramatic focal point. Pair the shade with a valance that matches the wall color to blur the boundaries even further. Designers often use outside mounting to make \u003cstrong\u003enarrow windows appear wider\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eshort windows appear taller\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal for Shallow or Obstructed Recesses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome windows simply can’t accommodate an inside mount—recesses less than 1.5 inches deep, crank handles, security bars, or other obstructions make installation impossible. Outside mounting bypasses all of these issues. The shade mounts to the wall or ceiling above the opening, clearing hardware and providing full functionality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDecorative Valance Options\u003c\/h2\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 zebra 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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach option delivers a finished, built‑in look while hiding the operating mechanism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCustom Projection Depths\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWalls aren’t always flat.
