Why Roller Shades?
Roller shades are a popular window treatment option for many reasons:
- Sleek Design: Roller shades offer a clean and minimalist look that complements any decor.
- Flexibility: They come in various materials and opacities, including blackout options for total light control.
- Ease of Use: Roller shades are easy to operate, especially when motorized and integrated into home automation systems.

Step-by-Step Measuring Guide
Inside Mount Measurement
To achieve an inside mount, install the roller shade within the window frame to create a clean, built-in look. Here’s how to measure:
- Width Measurement:
- Measure the width of the window opening at the top, middle, and bottom.
- Record the narrowest measurement to ensure the shade fits within the frame.
- Height Measurement:
- Measure the height of the window opening at the left, center, and right.
- Record the longest measurement for accurate coverage.
- Depth Measurement:
- Measure the depth of the window frame to ensure it can accommodate the roller shade mechanism.
- Confirm that the window frame has sufficient depth for an inside mount installation.
Outside Mount Measurement
To install an outside mount, mount the roller shade on the wall or ceiling above the window to cover the entire window and frame. Here’s how to measure:
- Width Measurement:
- Measure the width of the area you want to cover. We recommend adding 2-3 inches on each side for optimal light control and privacy.
- Height Measurement:
- Measure from the top of the area where you will mount the shade to the desired length. Add extra length if you want the shade to extend beyond the window sill.
