Measuring Your Windows

Think you can't measure? Think again.

If you have an I-Phone, check the app store and see if you're able to download an app called Measure. Newer I-Phones have it already installed and you can find it in the utilities area.

Here's what it looks like:

​

​

It may take a couple of minutes to learn how to use the app, but once you do, you will be able to measure just about anything, including your windows. The app doesn't give you fractions, which is important when measuring window treatments. The tool will get you close enough for purposes of getting an estimate for shutters, shades, or blinds.

​

Now that you have your window measurements, (follow the chart below for details on providing exact measurements, if you're wanting an exact quote vs. a budgetary estimate), email them to us and we will send you an estimate for whatever window treatment you're interested in.

​

Providing your measurements allows us to offer the biggest cost savings to you.

Basic Window Measuring Tips

  1. Use a steel measure
  2. Have pen and paper ready.
  3. Measure to the nearest 1/8" of an inch. If the opening size is on the 1/16" line, then round down to the closest 1/8".  Example: 35 7/16" would become 35 3/8".
