Measuring For Mini Blinds

The first thing to do when measuring for your mini

blinds is to determine if you need inside mount or

outside mount. Inside mount will fit the blinds

within the window frame, while outside mount will

fit the overlap of the window opening.

Inside mount

To find the width, measure the exact distance between

the inside surfaces of the window frame at the top,

middle, and also the bottom then use the narrowest

width you receive with your measurements.

To find the length, measure the exact distance

from the inside surface at the top of the window

to the bottom sill at the left, middle, and the

right then use the longest length. If you prefer

for the blinds not to touch the windowsill, you

should deduct 1/4". If there isn't a sill, then

you should measure the length to the point where

the blinds are to reach.

Outside mount

To find the width, measure the exact distance

between the outermost points where the blinds are

to be placed. For the best of light control, the

measurement should extend 3/4" beyond the window

opening on each side.

To find the length, measure the exact distance

from where the top of the blinds are to be placed

to the top of the windowsill. If there isn't a

sill on your window, then measure the length to

the point where the blinds are to reach.

Measuring for your blinds is very important, as

you'll need the measurements to order the blinds.

Most companies will deduct for the brackets at

the factory, then all you'll need to do once

you receive your blinds is to install them -

which is easy to do as well.
