How to Measure Your Window

 

Step 1: Decide on Mount Type

  • RECESS: The shade fits inside the window frame. Gives a clean, built-in look.
  • EXACT: The shade is installed on the wall or frame, covering the entire window area. Ideal for small windows, hiding imperfections, or blocking more light.

Tools You’ll Need: Steel tape measure, step stool, and a notepad.

How to Measure:

   1. Width: Measure inside the window recess at:

  • Top
  • Middle
  • Bottom
    Record the narrowest measurement (in millimeters accuracy) to ensure the shade fits.

   2. Height: Measure inside the recess on:

  • Left side
  • Center
  • Right side
    Record the tallest measurement.

   3. Depth: Measure the depth of your frame to ensure it meets the minimum depth requirement for your shade type.

Pro Tip: Do not make any deductions yourself — we will adjust for the perfect fit.

Tools You’ll Need: Steel tape measure, step stool, and a notepad. 

How to Measure:

   1. Width: Measure the width of the window plus any desired overlap.

  • We recommend at least 50–75 mm on each side to block light effectively.

   2. Height: Measure from the top of where you want the shade to start to the bottom of where you want it to end.

  • For best coverage, extend 50–75 mm above the frame and at least to the sill or floor.

Pro Tip: Larger overlaps block more light and help insulate better.

 

 

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using a cloth tape measure (can stretch and give wrong sizes)
  • Rounding measurements — always record to the nearest mm for metric
  • Switching width and height accidentally
  • Not checking for obstructions like window cranks, handles, or trim
