Ready to soften incoming sunlight and elevate your space with custom Blindster 2" Premium Light Filtering Sheer Shades? Getting a flawless, high-end look starts with precise measurements! In this video, we walk you through exactly how to measure your windows for an outside mount. ⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: This video covers the MEASURING process only. For step-by-step guidance on how to install your new sheer shades once they arrive, please check our installation playlists. An outside mount is an excellent choice for 2-inch fabric sheer shades because it helps eliminate harsh "light gaps" on the sides of the window casing, giving you beautiful, uniform light filtration and a clean frame around your window. Grab a steel tape measure, a notepad, and a pencil, and let's get started! 🛒 Shop Blindster 2" Premium Light Filtering Sheer Shades here: https://www.blindster.com/shades/shee... ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction & Mounting Bracket Placements 01:48 - Important Ordering Width & Fabric Information 02:20 - Measuring Above a Window with No Trim 03:41 - Measuring Above the Window Trim 05:19 - Measuring Directly on the Window Trim 06:33 - Summary & Final Ordering Notes 💡 CRITICAL OUTSIDE MOUNT TIPS FOR SHEER SHADES: • Always use a steel tape measure—fabric tapes stretch and cause inaccurate cuts! • For the best visual coverage and privacy, we highly recommend adding a minimum of 2 to 3 inches of extra width to each side beyond the window opening or trim. • IMPORTANT FABRIC NOTE: On outside mount sheer shades, the actual fabric vane width will be slightly narrower than the overall headrail width you order to allow room for the operating mechanisms. • Blindster builds outside mount shades to the exact overall ordering dimensions you submit. No factory deductions are made to the overall headrail width!
