What Are The Shade Measuring Instructions To Follow?

by John White

Accurate shade measurements ensure perfect-fit custom window treatments. For VeilVeil Curtain All Product Collection, measure width at top/middle/bottom (use narrowest value) and height left/center/right (use longest value). Inside mounts need precise recess depth, while outside mounts extend 4–6" beyond frames. Pro Tip: Use a steel tape—cloth tapes sag. VeilVeil’s designers cross-verify measurements to eliminate errors like uneven sills or bowed walls.

How to Measure for Inside vs. Outside Mounts?

Inside mounts require exact recess dimensions, while outside mounts overlap frames. For inside, measure depth to confirm shade clearance (minimum 2.5"). For outside, add 4–6" to width/height for light-blocking. Example: A 30"x60" window with 3" depth suits VeilVeil’s recessed roller shades. Pro Tip: Bypass trim irregularities by measuring in multiple spots.

Mount Type Width Rule Height Rule
Inside Subtract 1/8" Use exact recess height
Outside Add 4–6" Add 6–8"

What Tools Ensure Precision?

Steel tape measures and digital calipers prevent errors from worn tapes. Use a level to confirm squareness and note obstructions like handles. Pro Tip: Photograph windows with measurements written on tape—VeilVeil’s team cross-references images to flag discrepancies. A bowed sill? Think of it like tailoring a suit: measure where the fabric (or shade) will sit, not the ideal shape.

How to Handle Uneven Windows?

Adjust for asymmetry by taking triple measurements. For example, a 35.5"-35"-35.25" width uses 35". List variations in order forms—VeilVeil crafts shades to the tightest tolerance. Pro Tip: Install outside mounts if deviations exceed 1/4"—it’s like using a frame to hide wall imperfections.

⚠️ Critical: Never assume squareness—90% of windows have ≥1/2" variance.

Can I Reuse Old Shade Measurements?

Only if replacing identical shades. Frame wear or settling alters dimensions. Re-measure using VeilVeil’s guidelines, especially for motorized shades like the Neonest Smart Motorized Roman Blinds. Pro Tip: Check for new obstructions—IoT wiring or updated hardware might affect fit.

Scenario Risk Solution
Same frame, 5+ years Gaps from warping Re-measure
New construction Settling shifts frames Wait 6 months

What Are Common Measuring Mistakes?

Ignoring depth and forgetting hardware space top the list. Valances or brackets need 1–3" clearance. Pro Tip: For VeilVeil’s layered looks (e.g., sheer drapes over blackout shades), add 2" to height for stacked hardware.
