How to Measure
Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window!
Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:
Measure the depth of your window from the back to the front where the shade will be mounted. For an inside mount, a minimum depth of 2" is required to securely install the brackets. To achieve a flush mount (fully recessed inside the window opening), a depth of 3 3/4" is required. If your window depth does not meet these requirements, please consider an outside mount or a different product option.
How to Measure:
Let's start with the Width:
- Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering width.
Now, let's do the Height:
- Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.
Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/2" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.
The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" – 1 1/2" narrower than the ordered width (up to 1/2" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric). When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product.
No deductions will be made to the ordered height.
Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 2 1/8" for shades with a cassette valance. Follow the directions below for where you'd like to install your shade.
If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.
Your ordered width will be the "tip to tip" measurement, which is the widest part of the top of the shade including the brackets and cassette valance (if applicable). The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1/2" – 1" narrower than the ordered width. If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider — just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade.
Above the Window (No Trim)›
Width:
Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-4" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window— that is your ordering width.
Height:
Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.
Above the Trim›
Width:
Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on either side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including any desired extra space on each side of the window— that is your ordering width.
Height:
Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.
Note: The shade fabric may rub against the trim when operating. If your trim is more than 1/2" thick, consider adding shims (not included) under the brackets for additional clearance. If your trim is 3/4" or thicker, we recommend using the extended bracket with slot.
On The Trim›
Width:
We don't normally recommend mounting roller shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the bracket to bracket measurement which cannot exceed the width of your trim. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim.
Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. That is your ordering width.
Note that the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than your ordered width.
Height:
Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height.
Door Mount›
Width:
Using a metal tape measure, measure left to right from the outside edge of the trim piece that goes around the glass to the other outside edge. That is your ordering width. However, if you have space, it is best to order the shade about 2-4" wider for better light control.
Height:
Consider how far above the window trim piece you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Measure down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below the window trim piece as you used above. That is your ordering height.
Recommendations and Limitations
Important Notes and Motorization Details
Important Notes
- There may be a +/- 1/8 inch measurement discrepancy. When measuring curtain dimensions, do not account for factory deductions. Detailed deduction information can be found in the table below.
- Fabric colour can vary from one dye lot to another. To ensure that all materials are from the same dye lot, please order shades for the same room at the same time.
Additional Information
- According to legal requirements, safety devices must be installed on chains to prevent the formation of hanging loops. The safety device should be installed at the farthest point from the control mechanism to prevent slack in the cord loop.
- Continuous cord loops come with white chains.
- Fabric-inserted cassette tracks use the same fabric as the curtain, with the fabric direction consistent with the curtain. The matching bottom rail is white.
- Aluminum cassettes are available in five colors, with the bottom rail matching the cassette color.
- Product can only be mounted to the top or rear of window casing. Side mounts not available.
- Because of the design of this window treatment, no extra fabric is added to roller.
- Depending on the height of the shade, opaque sections may not align in the fully lowered position.
Motorization Details
- Motorized remotes are not included. At least one remote is required per order, and one motorized charger is included in each order.
- It is strongly recommended to set up a dedicated channel for each curtain.
- A 15-channel remote can operate one curtain per channel, controlling up to 15 curtains in total.
- The remote range is approximately 260 feet.
- An additional Hub allows control of motorized curtains via Alexa and the free, downloadable Tuya Smart app, compatible with iOS and Android systems.
