Window openings are rarely perfectly square! • THE GOLDEN RULE FOR WIDTH: When ordering an inside mount, record the exact, SMALLEST of your three width measurements so your shade doesn't rub. If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8 inch—this is your ordering width! • THE GOLDEN RULE FOR HEIGHT: Record the LARGEST of your three height measurements. There will be no factory deductions made to your height. • DO NOT MAKE YOUR OWN DEDUCTIONS: Provide Blindster with your exact window opening measurements. Our factory will automatically make a small deduction to the overall headrail/bracket width so the shade fits seamlessly. • IMPORTANT FABRIC NOTE: Because of the space required for the mounting brackets and operating mechanisms, the actual textured fabric width will be slightly narrower than the overall ordered width. This creates a small, standard "light gap" on each side. If this measuring tutorial helped you prepare your order, please give this video a thumbs up and subscribe for more window treatment tips!
