Guide for Measuring Windows for Blinds

Measuring a window for blinds involves a few straight forward steps:

1. Width Measurement:

   Measure the width of the window inside the frame from edge to edge. Take measurements at the top, middle, and bottom of the window to account for any variations.

   Record the narrowest width measurement to ensure the blinds will fit inside the frame without rubbing against the sides.

2. Height Measurement:

   Measure the height of the window inside the frame from top to bottom in three places: left side, middle, and right side.

   Record the longest height measurement to ensure the blinds will cover the entire window area without leaving gaps at the bottom.

3. Depth Measurement (Optional):

   – Measure the depth of the window frame if you plan to install the blinds inside the frame rather than on the outside.

   – This measurement ensures the blinds will fit properly within the frame depth.

4. Additional Considerations:

   – If you prefer the blinds to extend beyond the window frame for better light blockage or privacy, measure the width and height accordingly.

   – For outside mount blinds, measure the area you wish to cover, adding extra width and height as desired for better coverage.

5. Double-check Measurements:

   – Always double-check your measurements before ordering blinds to avoid incorrect sizes.

By following these steps, you can accurately measure your window for blinds, ensuring a proper fit and effective coverage.
