For step-by-step guidance on how to install your new deluxe cordless faux wood blinds once they arrive, please check our installation playlists. Because the 2.5-inch slats have a larger profile, an outside mount is an excellent choice to keep your window glass completely unobstructed when the blinds are fully raised. Grab a steel tape measure, a notepad, and a pencil, and let’s get your perfect dimensions! 🛒 Shop Blindster 2.5" Deluxe Cordless Faux Wood Blinds here: https://www.blindster.com/blinds/faux... ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction & Bracket Mounting Requirements 01:21 - How to Measure Above a Window with No Trim 02:44 - How to Measure Above the Window Trim 04:12 - Use of Complimentary Spacer Blocks 04:26 - How to Measure Directly on the Window Trim 💡 CRITICAL OUTSIDE MOUNT TIPS TO REMEMBER: • Always use a steel tape measure—fabric tapes stretch and cause inaccurate cuts! • For optimal light control and privacy with the larger 2.5-inch slats, we highly recommend adding a minimum of 2 inches of extra width to each side beyond the window opening or trim. • Blindster builds outside mount blinds to the exact measurements you submit.
