Inside:
STEP 1: Measure the inside width at the top of the window. This is your ordering width. We will make the necessary deductions. (approx. 1/8")
STEP 2: Measure the height at 3 locations - the left side, middle and right side. Record the largest of the 3 measurements. This is your ordering length.
Note: Roller / Solar shade fabrics will be approximately 1 3/8" narrower than your ordering width to allow for brackets. If concerned over resulting light gap please select outside mount.

Outside:
STEP 1: Measure the width of the area you wish to cover. If space allows we recommend adding 3 - 4" (1 1/2-2" each side) to this measurement to help eliminate light seepage. This is your ordering width and will be the overall measurement outside bracket to outside bracket.
STEP 2: Measure the height of the area you wish to cover. This is your ordering length.

Note: Your shade fabric will be 1 1/4" narrower than the measurement you provide to allow for brackets. If you need the fabric to cover a specific width (i.e. for mounting the shade on a door), add 1 1/4" to tag desired fabric width and this will be your ordering width.
* For shades with upholstered valance, please know the valance will be 1" wider overall due to returns.
