Measure Depth: See the chart on next page to determine if window casing has enough depth for an inside-mount window treatment.

Measure Width: Measure the inside width of window casing from one inside edge to the other at the top. Record measurement.

Measure Height: Measure the inside height from the top of window casing to top of sill (or to the floor for patio doors) in three places. Record shortest measurement.

Note: Do not take any deductions for clearance. The manufacturer will take necessary deductions for a perfect fit.

Measure Width: Measure width to be covered. We recommend 3" overlap on each side (6" total) for optimum light control and privacy. Record measurement. If you want the entire window uncovered when the shade is fully open, see information on bottom of page 2.

Measure Height: Measure height to be covered from top of molding to bottom or top of sill if there is one. Record measurement. Allow 3" for adequate mounting area above the window. If shade extends to the floor (i.e. to cover a patio door), measure height in three places. Take smallest measurement and deduct ½" for clearance in order for the fabric to clear the floor.

Note: The manufacturer makes NO deductions on outside-mount installation.

Reason for Choosing Inside Mount

Clean Look•Inside-mount treatments are installed completely inside the window

casing, showcasing attractive window molding.

Allows Sill Space on Deep Windows•Insomedeep-setwindows,thewindowtreatmentcanbeinstalled

to allow plants or other items to be placed in front of the window treatment on the sill.

Limitations of Inside Mount

Light Gaps•Asmalldeductioninthewidthand/orlengthistakenatthe

manufacturer to allow for proper operating clearance. This may cause a small gap on each side of the treatment, affecting the treatment’s ability to darken a room.

Obstructed View•Thestack(compressedportionofthewindowtreatmentwhenfully

opened) will obstruct part of the view from the window. The amount of stack varies by shade size and fabric.
