Inside Mount Vertical Blind Measuring Guide

Width: Measure the opening across the top where
          the headrail is to be installed from inside of jamb
          on left to inside of jamb on right. Round the
          measurement down to the nearest 1/8".

Length: Measure from the inside top of the opening on
          the left, at the center, and on the right to the sill;
          round the measurement down to the nearest 1/8"
          and note the smallest dimension. Do not make any
          allowances: the factory will make all adjustments
          so the headrail will fit the opening properly and the
          vanes will clear the sill by 1/4".

Note: Always state width First then length when ordering.
        Inside mount blinds will have an automatic 3/8"
        deduction from ordered width.





Outside Mount Vertical Blind Measuring Guide

Width: Measure the width of the area to be covered
          at the place where the headrail will be installed
          to the nearest 1/8". Blind should overlap opening
          at least 4" on each side to ensure privacy.

Length: Measure the length of the area to be covered
            and round down to the nearest 1/8". Blind should
            extend at least 3" above and 3" below opening or
            window moulding. For ceiling-to-floor installations,
            make adequate allowance for carpeting. Specifying
           OB measurement means the factory makes no
           deduction allowances.

Note:  Always state width first then length when ordering.
         Outside mount blinds will have no deduction from
         ordered width and length.
