How Do I Measure My Windows for Blinds Installation?, North York
Measuring your windows correctly is crucial for a successful blinds installation with Golden Star Development. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure accuracy:
Gather Your Tools and Materials
Before measuring your windows for blinds installation with Golden Star Development, gather essential tools and materials. You will need a steel measuring tape, pencil, paper or notepad, and a step stool or ladder if your windows are out of reach. Start by deciding whether you want blinds mounted inside or outside the window frame. For inside mount blinds, measure the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the window. Record the narrowest measurement to ensure the blinds fit properly within the frame. Next, measure the height from the top of the window frame to the window sill in three places: left, center, and right. Again, record the shortest measurement to ensure the blinds do not obstruct the window operation. For outside mount blinds, measure the width and height of the area you wish to cover, ensuring the blinds extend beyond the window frame for optimal light control and privacy.
Double-Check and Confirm Measurements
Once you have measured your windows for blinds installation with Golden Star Development, it's essential to double-check and confirm the accuracy of your measurements. Compare your recorded dimensions to ensure consistency and precision. Golden Star Development recommends measuring each window individually, even if they appear identical, as slight variations can occur. For inside mount blinds, verify that there is enough depth within the window frame to accommodate the blinds' mounting brackets and hardware without obstruction. For outside mount blinds, ensure that the blinds' width and height measurements align with your desired coverage area, accounting for any obstacles such as handles or trim that may affect installation. If you're unsure or have windows with irregular shapes or sizes, Golden Star Development suggests consulting with our experts for professional measurement services. By taking these steps to measure your windows accurately, you ensure a seamless blinds installation with Golden Star Development that enhances your home's aesthetics and functionality.
