Heads Up, Denver! How to Pre-Measure Your Windows for Custom Blinds, Shades, or Shutters (We’ll Take Over Later!)

When it comes to transforming your home with custom blinds, precision is vital. While the professionals at Denver Blind Company will handle the final measurements and installation, a preliminary measurement can help streamline the process and ensure your blinds, shades, or shutters are tailored perfectly to your windows. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you pre-measure like a pro!

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

To get started, you’ll need:

  • A metal measuring tape (for accuracy)
  • A pencil and paper
  • A step stool or ladder for high windows

Step 2: Decide on Mount Type

Are you envisioning an inside mount (blinds installed within the window frame) or an outside mount (blinds that cover the window and frame)? This decision will determine the measurements you need to take.

Step 3: Measure for Inside Mount

  1. Width: Measure the inside of the window frame at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest width.
  2. Height: Measure the inside height of the window frame on the left, middle, and right. Record the tallest height.
  3. Depth: Measure the depth of the window frame to ensure your custom blinds fit the recess.

Step 4: Measure for Outside Mount

  1. Width: Measure from one side of the window frame to the other, adding 2–3 inches on each side for full coverage.
  2. Height: Measure from the top of the frame to where the blinds end, usually a few inches below the sill.

Step 5: Double-Check Your Numbers

Double-check all measurements before sending them to ensure accuracy. Precision here will save time and ensure your custom blinds look and function flawlessly.
