<p><span id="more-902"></span>Measuring for Inside Mount </p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-900" title="outsidemount" src="http://advancedshading.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/outsidemount.jpg" alt="outsidemount" width="200" height="204" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> Measure the window&#8217;s width in at least three different places. In many homes, the window frame dimensions can vary slightly from the top to the bottom. Take a note of your narrowest width measurement to give you the best fit.</p>
<p>Measure the inside height at at least two places as well and write down your height measurement that provides the best fit.</p>
<p>When ordering, give us the exact dimensions down to 1/8&#8243; and we&#8217;ll order the shade exactly to your specification.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that once made, the fabric will have a slight deduction on either side (about  half an inch on either side).</p>
<p>To install the product flush with the window frame, a minimum window depth of 2&#8243; is required without a fascia and a minimum window depth of 4&#8243; is required with a fascia.</p>
<h3>Measuring for Outside Mount</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-901" title="insidemount1" src="http://advancedshading.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/insidemount1.jpg" alt="insidemount1" width="199" height="202" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This method is much easier to measure. Just take a measurement of the the width and height you want the rollershade to be. Consider adding 1-1/2&#8243; to 3&#8243; on the sides, top, and bottom to get a nice overlap on all sides.</p>
<p>If your window frame is not flush with the wall you may want to measure so that the brackets will go on the frame itself, that way there&#8217;s no obstructions when the shade rolls down.</p>
