First, print the measuring guide available on our website and make sure you have everything you need. Inside mount window treatments are mounted inside the window casing. If you're covering more than one window, measure each one individually, even if they look like they're the same size, because small differences in size are common. Also identify each window's location with a letter or number to make sure you install the correct treatment on the appropriate window. The first measurement you need to take is the depth of the window casing. You need this to be sure you have enough depth for an inside mount. Round to the nearest 1.8inch and and check your measuring guide to make sure your window meets the minimum requirements for an inside mount.
