Bali Blinds | How to Measure Fabric Cornices and Top Treatments

Fabric, cornices and top treatments are beautiful additions to your window treatments. In this video, we'll show you your different mounting options and how to measure and order the right size top treatment for your window. First, take a look at the measuring guide available on our website and make sure you have everything you need. If you want an inside mount top treatment, first make sure it can fit inside your window. Measure the depth of the window casing. It needs to be at least 3 inches deep. Once you've confirmed the depth, measure the exact width of the window opening at the very top of the casing and then again as far down from the top as the top treatment will reach and write down the smaller measurement rounding to the nearest 18 inch. That's all you need for inside mount top treatments. For an outside mount top treatment, measure the width of the window, including the molding. Then account for any additional width. If you will have draperies or shears hanging under the top treatment, you'll need to go past the edge of that window treatment by at least 2 inches on each side. If you're just placing the top treatment over the window, then you'll need to go past the edge of the molding by at least one inch on each side. That's it. You're done. If you had any trouble following these steps or need to know how to mount and care for your new top treatment, visit our website.
