Why measuring matters
Custom treatments are made to your exact sizes and cannot be trimmed on site. A small error can mean a gap or a blind that will not fit.
Homeowners in Nashville often measure first for ideas, and we measure again before ordering.
We recommend a professional measurement for every custom order.
Inside mount basics
An inside mount sits within the window frame. It needs enough depth, a reasonably square opening and no obstructions such as cranks.
Measure width at the top, middle and bottom, and height at left, center and right.
We use the smallest width for the order, with small allowances.
Outside mount basics
An outside mount sits on the wall or trim and covers the whole opening, often with overlap.
It suits shallow frames and windows with obstructions, and can make a window look larger.
We plan the overlap on each side and above the frame.
Depth and clearances
Check how deep the frame is, how far the glass sits back and whether handles, cranks or locks stick out.
These details decide which products fit.
We note them on every window.
Squareness and levelness
Window frames are rarely perfectly square or level. Differences show as gaps at an edge.
We measure in several places and plan a mount that hides small differences.
We tell you if a window is unusual.
Specialty windows
Arches, angles, bays, skylights and doors need extra care and often a template.
Do not guess on these, since mistakes are costly.
We measure specialty windows on site and confirm every detail.
Measure each window in several places and let a professional confirm before you order anything custom.
