Mounting Position and Supplies


To streamline your process, ensure you have all the tools you'll need, such as steel measuring tape, a pencil, paper, and any other tools you might need. Next, determine if you'll be mounting the blinds on the inside or the outside. Inside mounts fit inside the window; outside mounts cover the entire window frame and are more suited to larger windows.


Width and Height Measurement


Measure the width and record the width at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest width measurement. Measure the width of the frame and add a little extra space for outside mountings. Do the same measurements for the window height, measuring the right, left, and center of the window for inside mounts. For outside mounts, measure from the top of the frame to your desired point at the bottom.


Accurate measurements are crucial for a polished and tailored look. Gather your tools, take proper measurements, and ensure precision with every measurement. Take your time when taking measurements if you want to achieve this goal. Then, you'll have beautifully mounted blinds.
