A Guide to Measuring Windows for Blinds

Perhaps the most important step during the process of installing blinds is measuring the intended window for them. Given the fact that no two windows are exactly the same, this step should never be skipped. Listed below is a guide on getting this project done properly.

Start by going to your preferred home improvement store and take a look at what is available. Once there, choose a type that you like based on a predetermined budget. For instance, there are some brands that can be cut to specified lengths, while others already come pre-measured. Are you looking for blinds that mount in front of your window? Or you prefer those designed to be recessed inside the frame?

When you have a general idea of what you want, get a measuring tape and a paper and pencil. Using these implements, create a spreadsheet with the following columns - height, top width, bottom width, depth, and how many.

Next, proceed to measuring each window and fill in the spreadsheet with the appropriate data. If you happen to get the similar measurements for two windows, simply write the number 2 in the how many column.

Finally, refer to this sheet when you visit again your chosen home improvement shop. If you opt to have your blinds recessed inside the window frame, you will want to install blinds that are less than the shortest width measurement for that window. However, if plan to have a window treatment mounted, you would want them to be inches more than the longest width for that window.
