Making a Template - It's a Snap in 3 Easy Steps!

1. Tape butcher paper over the window opening (do not use wrapping paper as it is not thick enough), allowing plenty of overlap (Use paper that has never been folded; a template can have no folds or creases) and draw an outline of the window opening by tracing over the inside edge of the window frame.  Note: If the shade is an outside mount, add the desired amount of overlap to the window outline and draw a second outline around it to match the shape of the finished shade.
 
2. Cut out your arch and mark the dimensions on the template.  Write your name address, phone number and email address on the template, and mark the ROOM SIDE (as opposed to the outdoors) and TOP. Roll up the template and place it in a mailing tube to include with the order. Do not fold the template Folds distort the shape of the template making an accurate cut of the material impossible and our fabricators will not make your arch. 
 
3.  Submit your order via the website and get your order number (YBXXXXX) to include on the mailing tube when you send it.  The size that you order and the size of your template must be the same.  If they are different, your arch will be made to the size of your template.    

NOTE:  If you are ordering more than one shade requiring a template, please make one template for each, even if the windows appear to be the same size.  We apologize, but our fabricators will not manufacture any shade without its own template.  Taking these steps will ensure your shade properly fits your window.  Thank you for your understanding.
 

 


Packaging your Template

When preparing to send your template, locate a mailing tube that is slightly longer than the height of your template.  Carefully roll the completed template into a tube and insert into the mailer tube.  Securely tape/fasten the end to be sure the template will not be damaged in shipment.

 

Where to Send the Template

Once you have sealed the mailing tube, address it to:
