Which Mount Should I Choose?

• For blackout blinds: An outside mount is usually recommended for better light coverage and fewer light gaps around the edges.
• For a clean, built-in look: Choose an inside mount when your window frame has sufficient depth.
• For maximum window coverage: Choose an outside mount and allow the blind to overlap the window opening.
• Limited frame depth? An outside mount may be the better option.
• Important: Even blackout fabric may allow some light around the sides of the blind, especially with an inside mount.

⚠️ PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:

• Width Size listed on the blind size is the TOTAL BLIND FRAME WIDTH, NOT the fabric width.
• The fabric is narrower than the Blind Frame
• ZEBRA BLINDS: There is a 0.5-in to 0.6-in gap on each side of the fabric for the mechanism.
• FINAL SALE ON OPEN BOXES. Please double-check your size before opening

OPTION 1: INSIDE MOUNT (Inside the window frame)

Best for a clean, built-in look.

1. Depth: Window depth should be at least 2.5in (6.3cm) to fit the hardware
2. Width: Measure the top, middle, and bottom of your window opening.
3. Take the smallest (narrowest) of the three measurements.
4. Deduction is Key: Because our sizes are exact frame widths, you must select a size at least 1/4" to 1/2" smaller than your narrowest measurement so the frame fits inside the opening.

Example: Window is 35.75" wide? Buy a 35" blind. Do not buy 36" (it won't fit!).

OPTION 2: OUTSIDE MOUNT (On the wall/molding)

Best for blocking light gaps and total privacy.

1. Measure the width of the window opening or molding.
2. ADD 3 to 4 inches to the total width.

Why? This extra width covers the fabric gaps on the sides and the frame/molding.
