Window Measurement Check List

Make sure you have done the following:

  • Did you measure with a steel tape measure?
  • Did you measure to the nearest 1/8″?
  • Are the measurements you took exact or did you make allowances for the blinds to be mounted inside the window casing?
  • Did you measure both the width (side to side) and the length (top to bottom) of the window?
  • Did you measure the depth of the window casing if you are mounting inside the window?
  • For an Outside Mount Blind, is there moulding or metal framing around your window?  If so, how wide and how thick?
  • Is there a reason why we cannot add to the width and length of your blind, i.e. counters, fireplace, light switches, etc.?
  • For French Doors, do you have lever handles or a round knob?
  • For Vertical Blinds, do you want the stack of the blind to clear the window completely when drawn open?
