Inside Mount vs. Outside Mount

Which One Should I Choose?

Before measuring, decide whether you'd like your shades installed inside or outside the window frame.

Conseils pour une installation en montage intérieur

  • Vérifiez si votre fenêtre a une profondeur suffisante pour une installation à l’intérieur. Si la profondeur est insuffisante, ne vous inquiétez pas ! Vous pouvez nous contacter pour obtenir des recommandations sur des styles nécessitant moins de profondeur, ou opter plutôt pour une installation à l’extérieur.
  • Inspectez le cadre ou l’encadrement de la fenêtre pour vous assurer qu’il est suffisamment solide pour permettre un perçage et une installation directs.

Inside Mount

✅ Measure the Depth
Measure the frame depth at the top of the window. Most shades need at least 1.5" for an inside mount — minimum depth varies by shade type, so check the product page.

✅ Measure the Width
Measure inside the frame at three points: top, middle, and bottom. Use the narrowest measurement, rounded down to the nearest 1/8".

Measure inside the frame at three points: left, center, and right. Use the longest measurement, rounded down to the nearest 1/8".

Seeing Gaps? That's Normal.

Inside-mounted shades leave a thin light gap on each side — if that matters for your room, our Light Blocking Strips can seal it.

Tips for Outside Mount

  • ✅ Quick Rule
    Width = measured width + 2–4" · Height = window height + 10"

  • Adjust based on your actual setup.

Your shade will be made exactly to the size you enter — no deductions.

Outside Mount

✅ Quick Rule
Width = measured width + 2–4" · Height = window height + 10"

📏Outside Mount: Please enter this adjusted width when ordering. Your shade will be made exactly to the size you enter — no deductions.

✅ Measure Width
Measure across the outside edges of the window frame. Add 2–4" to your measured width (1–2" per side) to minimize light gaps.

✅ Measure Height
Measure from your mounting point (above the frame) down to your desired bottom position. If you want enough stack space above the window and an unobstructed view when the shade is raised, add 10" inches above the top of the window — adjust based on your actual setup.

Consider Stack Height

Depending on the shade size and fabric style, approximately 8"–10" of stacked fabric may remain visible, partially covering the upper portion of the glass.
