Instructions for Inside Mounted Roller Shades

Depth Requirements

  • Your window needs to be deep enough for an inside mount. Go to the product’s information page and click on the “Product Info” tab to find out more about your product’s requirements.

 

Measuring the width

  • The width measurement is taken from the inside edge of the window frame at the top.

  • If you are getting a 1/16” or 1/32” increment, round down to the nearest 1/8”. (For example, if the smallest measurement is 24 9/16", round down to 24 1/2". If it's 24 3/8", no need to round down.)

  • This will be the width you order.

 

Measuring the height

  • The height measurement is taken from the window frame in three places (top left, center, and top right down to the window sill).

  • Record the largest height out of the 3 measurements up to the nearest 1/8”.

  • If you are getting a 1/16” or 1/32” increment, round up to the nearest 1/8”.  (For Example, If the largest measurement is 24 9/16", round up to 24 5/8". If it's 24 1/2", no need to round up.)

  • This will be the height you order.

 

We will make all the necessary deductions based on the measurements you provide during checkout. Do not make your own deductions. Don’t add to the width to make up for any deductions that we will take. For more light coverage, choose an outside mount. See the chart below for the deductions per collection:
