MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS – FOR SKYLIGHT BLINDS

INSIDE MOUNT

first, check whether your skylight window has enough depth for mounting or not. it needs to meet the minimum depth to mount the brackets and the product. you can find the minimum depth required on each product page on our website.
to measure the width, measure in 3 places – top, middle, and bottom. measure from edge to edge inside the window opening where you plan to keep the mounting brackets.
to measure the height, measure in 3 places – left, middle, and right. if you have tall windows then they will require extra mounting hardware.
after taking the exact measurement, order your skylight window blinds at the narrowest width and the shortest height. this ensures that they will fit inside your window opening.

OUTSIDE MOUNT

while measuring for outside mount, you will require one flat surface on all sides of the window.
for width, measure the width of the opening that you would like to cover. then add to the width to account for overlap and any light gap.
for height, measure the height of the opening that you would like to cover. then add to the height to account for the headrail size and any overlap.
then order your product according to your measurements. the exact amount added varies depending on the product itself. many skylight shades cannot be outside mounted.

WHAT SHOULD YOU KEEP IN MIND WHILE 
MEASURING FOR SKYLIGHT BLINDS?

side mount is not available for cellular skylights.
if your window corners are not 90 degrees, then you have to go for outside mount.
side-tracks must be mounted on both inside mount and outside mount.
when assessing mounting depth, take into account any obstacles that may be in the window opening, such as window cranks or handles. these can prevent you from mounting a shade properly.
