How do I measure my window?

When measuring your windows, it is best to measure in three places for inside mount treatments. For all window treatment style, measure for height and width of the opening. Measure the depth of the window sill and the depth of the top of the window on the inside of the opening. Measure from the floor to the ceiling on both sides of the window and measure above and below the window. Take note of any wall switches and artwork which may not move or will be covered. Bring your window dimensions to your seamstress. If you do not feel comfortable measuring your own windows, most window treatment installers will measure professionally for a fee. Always bring information for the hardware you intend to use with your window, i.e. curtain rods, rings, ect.
