Inside Mount VS. Outside Mount: Which One Should I Choose?

Prior to measuring windows for blinds or shades, select your preferred installation type(inside or outside mount). Both methods provide unique benefits, allowing you to choose based on your specific needs.


Opt for Inside Mount When:

  • Enough Window Depth: Window frame depth 2"or more.
  • Space-Saving: Fits flush within window frame, zero wall/ceiling protrusion.
  • Ideal for Recesses: Perfect for deep-set windows.
  • Accommodates Heavy Objects: Sufficient support to support the installation of blinds.

Opt for Outside Mount When:

  • Insufficient Window Depth: Window frame depth less than 2"(For inside mount with frame depths exceeding 1.18" (3 cm), specify side brackets when ordering).
  • Installation Flexibility: Works with shallow/non-recessed windows, needs only wall/ceiling space.
  • Increase shading: Outside mount can increase the light coverage area more widely.
  • Limited Weight Capacity: The window frame is unstable and does not have enough support.

Inside Mount

Before installation, be mindful of obstacles in the window opening, such as cranks or handles, which can impede proper shade installation.
When measuring your roller shade, remember that the fabric width is typically around 1.02 inches (2.59 cm) smaller than the valance size (order width) provided.
Measure your window frame depth to confirm adequate installation space. For fully recessed roller shades (with no valance protrusion), a minimum depth of 3.34" (8.5 cm) is required.

Start:
  1. Measure Width Top/Middle/Down:
Measure the width in 3 places. For width, use the smallest measurement. Round each measurement down to the nearest 1/8 inch when ordering.
  1. Measure Height Left/Middle/Down:
Measure the height in 3 places. For height, use the longest measurement. Round each measurement down to the nearest 1/8 inch when ordering.
  1. Order Width = Shortest Measurement Width = Whole Item Width
Order Height = Longest Measurement Height = Whole Item Height (Window depth ≥ 2")

 

Outside Mount

  1. Measure Width To Be Coverd:
We recommend adding 6 inches to the width you wish to cover for optimum light control and privacy.
