A Blindster exclusive, our No Tools 1" cordless aluminum blinds have specially designed mounting brackets with a strong adhesive backing making installation a breeze. They require no tools or screws to mount and therefore they won't damage your window frame. The brackets have been rigorously tested by and Independant Laboratory to provide a secure and long-lasting hold. Plus their cordless lift design offers a cleaner look and is a safer option in homes with small children or pets.
STEP 1: Measure the width of your window opening in 3 places - top, middle and bottom. Record the most narrow of your 3 measurements to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". This is the width you will order. The factory will deduct approx. 3/8" from the width you order to allow space for the mounting brackets and allow room for operations.
STEP 2: Measure the inside height of the window frame in three separate locations left side, middle, and right side. Write down the largest of these measurements and use it when ordering your shade. The factory will add a minimum of 2 1/2" to the height you order. This additional height is needed so that the blind will tilt properly.
STEP 1: Measure the width of the area you want to cover from outside edge to outside edge. This is the width you should order. The blind will be made to the width you specify.
STEP 2: Measure the height of the window and the area you wish to cover with the shade. This number will be your ordering height. Note that you will need 1 1/2" to 2 1/2" of flat space on your mounting surface for mounting brackets. Once you place your order, the factory will manufacture your shade, including the headrail, to fit the exact height and width noted when the order was placed. To allow ample room to mount your shade above the window frame, add 3" - 4" to your height measurement when you place your order.
