You re likely to see 24 and 36 inch widths paired with the smaller heights or with accent windows. Measure the overall area to be covered. If you don t have a sill just measure up to the point where you want the blinds to end. Outside mount window treatments are mounted outside the window casing.

The size of the blind slats you choose really depends on your desired look and application. Consider adding an extra 3 inches to the width and height for optimum light control and privacy. The slats can be tilted opened precisely horizontally for the most light or closed for privacy or to block. Standard sizes for window blinds standard sizes.

The 48 and 60 inch blinds will show up more often in short wide windows or in full wall windows. Record the narrowest width and longest height. Measure the height by going all the way from the top of the frame to the window sill. Don t forget to record window depth so you ll meet the minimum installation requirement.

Leave about 1 inch on either side of the frame so that the blinds block out all of the light. Measure the width from the outermost points of the window. We offer 1 inch 2 inch and 2 1 2 inch slats in most blinds. When selecting window blinds consider three measurements.
