Measuring for Inside Mount
STEP 1: Measure the inside width the top of the window opening (where you will mount the shade). We will make the necessary deductions (approx. 1/8").
STEP 2: Measure the height at 3 locations - the left side, middle and right side. Record the largest of the 3 measurements. This is your ordering height.
NOTE: Roller shade fabrics will be approximately 1-1/2 inches narrower than your ordering width to allow for brackets. If concerned over resulting light gap please select outside mount.
Measuring for Outside Mount
STEP 1: Measure the width of the area you wish to cover. If space allows we recommend adding 2-3" (1-1 1/2" each side) to this measurement to help eliminate light seepage. This is your ordering width and will be the overall measurement of the blind.
STEP 2: Measure the height of the area you wish to cover. This is your ordering height. Be sure to take into account the flat mounting surface needed (see above) when measuring the area you want to cover with your shade. The factory will make your shade (including the roller at the top or the cassette valance, if ordered) to the height ordered. Generally 3" - 4" added to the height of your opening (including molding or framework you wish to cover) will allow you room to mount above the window frame.
NOTE: Your shade material will be made 1-1/2 inches narrower than the measurement you provide to allow for brackets. If you need your shade to cover a specific width (e.g. for mounting a shade on a door) add 1-1/2 inches to your ordered width for the desire fabric width.

Happily covered huge windows!
Sun porch - huge windows - sun blaring in. Didn't want to spend a ton. These solar shades turned out to be perfect for our needs and again, pricing and speed of ship was excellent. The website is so easy to use and the products are really quite nice - no complaints from this three time shopper!

Love, love, love Yourblinds!
Long story short.. I ordered the wrong color of solar shades. Not only did Yourblinds take them back, but remade them and gave me the current lower sale price! When they were mistakenly sent to the incorrect address, the customer service rep drove them herself to UPS to have them overnighted to me as I was under a time constraint! This is my second order from Yourblinds and I will buy from nowhere else!

Custom-made results
Historically have used custom-made window treatment companies. This time D-I-Y, with professional results. Minor issue with a broken plastic tab, but since the blinds were going to be raised/lowered very infrequently, it didn't compromise the end result. Color great, instructions easy, install easy.

BETTER THAN LOCAL STORE STOCK!
This my second purchase from Yourblinds. Once again, ordering was simple and the blinds were a perfect fit. I had bought Levolor shades from Lowes and had the store cut them, well they were completely wrong when I picked them up.

User friendly
I was willing to measure and install because of their "if it doesn't fit return it" policy. It all went very well.

Deluxe Shades
Good value shades for the price. Easy to install and they look great. These are a quite tight on the roller, but if you use a firm grip they roll okay.

Measure and install
I had 2 8ft sliding glass doors, put 2 shades on each. In future I would order 1 shade for each. To much for a senior to install

Great design & modern look!
I purchased the light gray solar shades and I love them! They look great and were easy to install. They have the minimalist and modern look I was looking for. They also give the high-end look I wanted.
