1. Measure the exact width of the area to be covered. It is recommended that 3" be added to the shade width for the standard overlap of 1 1/2" on each side. Specify if your width measurement is the total shade width you desire (tip-to-tip) or the width of the fabric (cloth-tocloth). The cloth-to-cloth measurement is 1 3/8" less than the tip-to-tip measurement.

2. Measure the height of the area to be covered. Measure from the ceiling or desired point above the window to approximately 1 1/2" below the window frame.

1. Measure width of window opening at the top, middle, and bottom and use the narrowest dimension for ordering. Specify if your width measurement is the total shade width you desire (tip-to-tip) or the width of the fabric (cloth-to-cloth). The cloth-to-cloth measurement is 1 3/8" less than the tip-to-tip measurement. The factory will automatically take an allowance of 3/8" for operating clearance unless you specify otherwise.

2. To install the product flush with the window frame, a minimum window depth of 2" is required without a valance and a minimum window depth of 4" is required with a valance.
