How do I measure my windows for blinds?

Measuring your windows for blinds is a straightforward process that can help ensure a perfect fit. First, you will need a metal tape measure for accuracy. Start by deciding whether you want to mount the blinds inside or outside the window frame. For inside mounts, measure the width of the window opening at three points: the top, middle, and bottom. Use the narrowest measurement to ensure the blinds will fit correctly. Next, measure the height of the window from the top of the opening to the sill at three points: the left, middle, and right side. Again, use the shortest measurement for the height. If you are opting for outside mounts, measure the width of the area you want the blinds to cover, adding extra inches to each side to prevent light gaps. For the height, measure from the top of where you want to mount the blinds down to the desired length you want the blinds to reach. It is always a good idea to double-check your measurements before placing an order. When you have your dimensions, you can refer to BlindsExpress for specific sizing options or product guidelines. Happy measuring!
