How to Measure for Cellular Shades

Instructions

Measuring for window treatments

Inside Mount

Use a steel tape to measure the opening at three different places, and use the narrowest dimension when ordering. Be exact! The factory will make the shade 316” narrower so it will not rub against the window casing. Measure the height of the window from the top (soffit) down to the sill.

Color Lux accepts measurements down to 116” increments.

Outside or Ceiling Mount

Use a steel tape to measure the exact height and width of the area to be covered. It is recommended that the shades overlap the window by at least 1” on each side. When installation has no sill, allow the shade to overlap the bottom of the window casing by at least 1″. Shade fabric will measure width indicated on the order form.

Color Lux accepts measurements down to 116” increments.
