When measuring shades, following precise guidelines is essential to ensure a perfect fit. There are two primary mounting options: inside mount and outside mount, each with its measuring steps. Below are detailed instructions for both methods
Inside mount shades are installed within the window frame, providing a sleek, clean look. Here are the steps to measure for inside mount shades:
Measure the depth of your window frame from the front of the opening to the glass to ensure it meets the minimum depth requirement for an inside mount. Refer to the mounting requirements of the chosen shades.
Measure the width of the window at three different points: top, middle, and bottom. Use the narrowest measurement to ensure a proper fit within the window recess.
Measure the height of the window opening in three places: left, center, and right. Use the tallest measurement as the final height to ensure full coverage.
Order the Shades at the exact opening size with no deductions. Factories typically make the necessary deductions during production.
Outside mount shades are installed on the window molding or wall above the window. This is ideal if inside mounting is not possible. Here's how to measure for outside mount shades:
Ensure you have enough flat surfaces for the mounting hardware by checking the mounting requirements of your shades.
Measure the desired width of the shades. The fabric will be narrower than the ordered width, so add 3 inches to the desired fabric width to determine the bracket-to-bracket width.
If the window has no trim, add 2-3 inches on each side of the window for light gap coverage and privacy, then measure between these marks.
Measure from the top of the window opening to 3 inches beyond the top to accommodate the mounting hardware. If there is a protruding window sill, start at the sill; if not, measure from 2 inches below the sill for maximum coverage.
Ensure the measurements follow the width-by-height format (W x H). The product will be made to the exact specified size.
Use a Steel Tape Measure: Always use a steel tape measure 1 for the most accurate measurements.
Record Measurements Accurately: Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch and avoid rounding up or down to the nearest half or whole inch.
Measure Each Window Individually: Even if windows appear the same size, measure each individually to ensure accuracy.
By following these methods, you can ensure your roller blinds fit perfectly, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. For additional assistance, consider consulting a professional for unique or challenging window setups.

Shades come in various types and materials, each requiring specific care and cleaning methods. Here’s a guide to help you properly care for and clean different types of window shades:
Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery brush attachment to gently remove dust and dirt. Be careful not to crush or wrinkle the fabric.
Spot Cleaning: Use a soft cloth with mild soap and warm water. Gently blot the stain in the direction parallel to the fabric's pleats. Allow the shades to air dry completely before raising them.
Deep Cleaning: If dust accumulates inside the cells, use a blow dryer on the lowest, cool air setting to blow out the dust.
Dusting: Use a soft cloth or feather duster to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, vacuum with the upholstery attachment.
Spot Cleaning: Remove the shade from the window, lay it flat, and use a soft cloth with mild detergent and warm water to spot clean. Allow the fabric to air dry completely before rehanging.
Routine Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster to prevent dirt buildup.
Spot Cleaning: Use a mild soap and warm water solution to gently clean the fabric. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Test any cleaner in an inconspicuous area first.
Deep Cleaning: For vinyl roller shades, you can remove them and soak them in a bathtub with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and air dry.
Dusting: Use a feather duster or a soft, dry cloth to gently remove dust from the shades. Regular dusting will keep the shades looking fresh and clean.
Vacuuming: For a more thorough cleaning, use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Set the vacuum to a low suction setting to avoid damaging the fabric. Gently vacuum the shades in a downward motion.
Deep Cleaning: For a deep clean, it is recommended to hire a professional cleaning service. They have the appropriate tools and expertise to clean the shades without causing any damage.
Dusting: Use a dry rag for a quick clean or a vacuum with an upholstery attachment.
Deep Cleaning: For a thorough clean, use cold or warm water with a tiny amount of soap. Wipe each slat carefully to avoid bending 1.
Soaking: If heavily soiled, remove the blinds and soak in a bathtub with warm water and mild soap, then rinse and air dry before rehanging.
Regular maintenance and proper cleaning techniques can keep your shades looking great and extend their lifespan. Always refer to the manufacturer’s care instructions for the best results, and handle each type of shade according to its specific needs.
