INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEASURING AND ORDERING SHOJI SHADES:
(A pdf of this page is available to print out at the bottom of this page. It is a good idea to have it with you as you measure each window in a room and to make a small map of the room if there are multiple windows.)
It is important to first decide whether to mount the shade inside or outside the window frame. Most roller blinds are mounted inside for a neater, more finished look. An inside mount is recessed inside the window frame and must have at least 1" of window depth. An outside mount is on the outside of the window frame or wall and covers an area larger than the window itself and will usually cover any window trim. Alarm sensors, window cranks, lack of depth or out-of-square windows are some reasons to use outside mounts. See installation instructions about the suitability of attaching outside mount brackets to materials other than wood. Some materials may require special tools or hardware.
* Measure each window separately as sizes may vary. Don't be surprised if your window is out-of-square. It probably isn't noticeable if it is a little off. However, if there is a considerable difference, you may want to order an outside mount, rather than an inside one, to hide the imperfection.
* Always use a metal measuring tape.
* Measure to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
* Record measurements clearly, indicating which is the width and which is the height. It is a common mistake to switch the two measurements.
* Measure twice before recording your final measurement.
* Measure with care! The accuracy of the measurements is the responsibility of the customer.
* Paper will roll over the roller tube (reverse roll) unless specified to unroll from behind (standard roll).
* Light seepage on the sides of the shades is inherent to the design of roller shades. To reduce light seepage, consider ordering the shade as an outside mount. Shoji Shades allow a diffused light into the room and are not appropriate if room darkening window coverings are needed.
* Please measure each window (old and new windows can vary window to window) to make sure of the measurements and be sure to number each window as each shade will come with a corresponding number. A small map of the room is helpful for keeping track of the numbering

Outside mount
Outside mount shades are shades mounted outside the window opening and attached to either the wood trim/frame around a window or to a wall. Outside mounts are ideal for windows with little or no depth. There must be a minimum of 2" of flat space around the window to mount the brackets. Shades will be the exact size you record.
Measure the width(C) of the area to be covered where the roller tube will be installed. Consider how far you would like the roller to extend beyond the window frame on each side. Generally, the recommended overlap is at least
1 ½ " on each side of the window (3" total).
Record (C ) desired width: ___inches to the nearest 1/8".
Order this width.
Measure the length (D) from the top of the window to the desired length (typically this it to the windowsill). Add 3 inches for bracket installation above the opening/window trim.
Record (D) desired length:___inches to the nearest 1/8".
Order this length.
Shades will be the actual measurements you request for outside mounts. |
