How To Measure Windows For Blinds?

Use a steel tape measure

Measure each window separately

Decide inside mount or outside mount before measuring

For inside mount, measure the exact width at the top, middle, and bottom of the window opening

Record the narrowest width for inside mount

For inside mount, measure the exact height at the left, center, and right of the window opening

Record the tallest height for inside mount

Measure the window depth for inside mount clearance

For outside mount, measure the full width you want the blinds to cover

Add extra width beyond the window frame for better light control and coverage

For outside mount, measure the full height you want the blinds to cover

Add extra height above and below the window as needed

Measure in inches and write down all measurements clearly

Round down only if the manufacturer requires it

Double-check every measurement before ordering

Do not assume all windows in the same room are the same size
