there is no sill, measure height to point where
shade is to reach.

3. To install the product flush with the window
frame, a minimum window depth of 3" is
required.
tip-to-tip:
Tip-to-Tip Measure is the common measure
type for most roller shades. Choosing this
measure type will include the headrail
"pegs" that mount the shade to the wall or
frame.

measure for: outside mount roller shades
1. To find width: Measure exact distance
between the outermost points where the
shade is to be placed. This measurement
should overlap each side of window frame by
at least 1-1/2". Factory makes no deduction
from your shade width dimensions.
2. To find height: Measure exact distance from
where top of shade will be located to top of
sill. If there is no sill or if shade is to overlap
window frame, measure to point shade is to
reach.
cloth-to-cloth:
Cloth Measure is uncommon and should
only be used for Outside Frame
applications. The headrail is wider than the
cloth of the shade which causes the "pegs"
to extend beyond the width of the shade
material. This total distance is 1-3/8" wide,
or a gap of 11/16" on each side of the
shade material.
allow some overlap
For outside mount applications allow the
blind to overlap 1 1/2" to 3" on the sides,
top and bottom of the window.
You must add the overlap to your
measurement; Levolor does not add width
or height for overlap on Outside Mounted
shades.
