Measuring for blinds and shutters may seem relatively easy, but the process can be a little more complex. Handy people will often do some preliminary measuring and come into the store with some data. At Blind Ambition, we are glad to see this. It can help us understand a client’s needs a little bit better and help us explain which window coverings may be the best fit for their space.
But accurate measurements are vital for perfectly fitting custom window coverings. Familiarity with the process can be very enlightening, so we encourage all our clients to understand the basics.
Blinds and shutters can be mounted inside window frames or extend past them. To get started, measure the frame in three spots for width: at the top, middle, and bottom of the window. Then, measure the height at the middle, left, and right sides. Finally, measure the window’s depth. Write these numbers down to the closest ⅛” and never round them down because the materials might not provide enough coverage.
For the width, use the smallest measurement. That way, the blinds should easily clear the sides. The final height measurement is different; use the largest one instead.
Blinds and shutters can be mounted inside or outside of window frames. Inside mounts get installed within the window; outside mounts cover the structure and can attach to the surrounding wall. Outside brackets can also be attached inside frames, but only when there’s enough depth to accommodate them without an obstruction. Bear in mind that external mounts need sturdy wall surfaces, making them good options for doors.
The initial measurements taken can be used as is for inside mounts. But with outside mounts, add 3” to the width and height. That will provide the needed space for any attachments. Many homeowners extend this out even further, depending on their preferences. A wide, outside-mounted blind or shutter can even be large enough to cover two windows.
It is common for homeowners to make mistakes when measuring for blinds and shutters. When measuring mistakes happen, this can leave blinds, shades, shutters, or other window coverings with gaps or crooked appearances. Here is what to avoid:
We typically recommend professional measurement and installation from our team for the best results. There is nothing wrong with coming prepared with all the right information, but when you work with Hunter Douglas certified team members who spend their careers working around these systems, you’re ensured a level of care and detail and a quality of fit that is unmatched compared to measuring your own window treatments.
This means that you’re more likely to receive a quality window covering that will last longer and look better in your windows.
