<h2>Before You Start</h2>

<ul>
<li>Use a steel measuring tape (not a soft ruler)</li>
<li>Measure to the nearest 1/8 inch or millimeter</li>
<li>Write down each measurement carefully</li>
<li>Always measure each window individually</li>
</ul>

<p>
<strong>Tip:</strong> Even windows that look the same can have different sizes.

<h2>Choose Your Mount Type</h2>

<h3>Inside Mount (Recommended for a Clean Look)</h3>

<p>
Inside mount means the blind is installed inside the window frame for a built-in, modern appearance.
</p>

<ul>
<li>Measure inside width at 3 points: top, middle, bottom</li>
<li>Use the <strong>smallest width</strong></li>
<li>Measure height at 3 points: left, middle, right</li>
<li>Use the <strong>largest height</strong></li>
<li>Minimum window depth required: 1.8 inches</li>
</ul>

<p>
We automatically make small deductions during production to ensure a perfect fit.

<h3>Outside Mount (Better Light Blocking)</h3>

<p>
Outside mount means the blind is installed outside the window frame, covering the entire opening.
</p>

<ul>
<li>Add 4–6 inches to width for better light control</li>
<li>Add 4–6 inches to height for full coverage</li>
<li>Ideal for maximum privacy and blackout effect</li>
</ul>

<h2>Step-by-Step Measurement Guide</h2>

<h3>Step 1: Measure Width</h3>
<p>Measure the width of the window at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the smallest measurement for inside mount.</p>

<h3>Step 2: Measure Height</h3>
<p>Measure the height on the left, middle, and right sides. Record the largest measurement for inside mount.</p>

<h3>Step 3: Check Depth</h3>
<p>Ensure your window frame has enough depth for inside mount installation (minimum 1.8 inches).</p>

<h2>Measurement Tips for Best Fit</h2>

<ul>
<li>Do not round measurements</li>
<li>Do not subtract or add extra space for inside mount orders</li>
<li>Measure twice before placing your order</li>
<li>Use consistent units (inches or cm)</li>
</ul>

<hr>

<h2>Common Mistakes to Avoid</h2>

<ul>
<li>Measuring only one point instead of three</li>
<li>Using a cloth tape instead of a rigid tape measure</li>
<li>Guessing instead of recording exact numbers</li>
