How To Measure For Blinds?

Before you start measuring your windows for window treatments, the first decision that needs to be made is whether you want to mount the blind on the inside or outside of the window frame.

If you are planning to buy window blinds for your windows, then there is a large variety of blinds available in various blinds store in NYC. The following tips will help you to measure your windows accurately for buying blinds:

• Blinds mounted on the inside of the window frame provide a clean look: On an inside mount, the headrail will sit back in the window casing so that it will emphasize the actual size of the window. It also allows your window molding to be visible. If you want your blind to fit flush with the window molding, then you need to make sure you have enough depth in your window to accommodate the width of the headrail. Even if you do not have the necessary depth for a flush mount, you can still do an inside mount and the blind will just project slightly out from the window molding.
• Blinds mounted on the outside of the window frame provide the illusion of a longer and wider window and it can help in hiding an unattractive window: On an outside mount, a blind can be mounted either on the window molding itself or above and beyond the window molding. An outside mount always provides for greater privacy and light control. An outside mount may be your only option if the window is not deep enough to contain at least the blind mounting brackets.
