| How to Measure Your Windows |
| Want to know how to measure for window blinds from Window Blinds Mall? All you need is paper, pen and steel tape for accurate measuring of window blinds. Please measure the blinds and then each window that will have blinds. Now you can begin measuring a window for blinds! |
 |
| When deciding where to mount your custom window blinds, you have the choice of an inside casing mount or an outside casing mount. If you plan to accent your window and install window blinds and curtains, inside mounting is the way to go. |
|
| If you want to keep out those bright rays that sneak into your bedroom on a Saturday morning, consider outside-mounted blinds, where you can add a few overlapping inches to block out more light. To ensure that your custom window blinds fit properly, please measure blinds and then follow the instructions below. |

|
|
If you plan to mount your blinds on the inside casing, the window must have a minimum depth if you want to install the brackets flush with the wall. Please see the minimum bracket depth requirements below. |
