How to Measure Vertical Blinds Correctly for a Perfect Fit
How to Measure Vertical Blinds:
Installing vertical blinds starts with one important step: accurate measurements. Even the highest quality blinds may not fit properly if the window size is measured incorrectly. Whether you are ordering blinds for your home, office, restaurant, hospital, or commercial space, taking the correct measurements will help ensure a professional finish.
Before measuring, use a steel measuring tape and record all dimensions in inches. Measure carefully and avoid estimating sizes.

Measuring for Inside Mount Vertical Blinds
Inside mount blinds are installed within the window frame for a clean and modern appearance.
Measure the Width
Take three measurements across the window opening:
- Top
- Middle
- Bottom
Use the smallest measurement as the final width.
Measure the Height
Measure the height at:
- Left side
- Center
- Right side
Use the shortest measurement as the final height.
Measuring for Outside Mount Vertical Blinds
Outside mount blinds are installed outside the window frame and provide greater light control and privacy.
Measure the Width
Measure the area you want the blinds to cover. For better coverage, add 4 to 6 inches on each side of the window.
Measure the Height
Measure from the top mounting position to the desired bottom point. Adding extra height above the frame can improve light blockage and overall appearance.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Measuring only once
- Using a flexible tape measure
- Forgetting to measure multiple points
- Rounding measurements excessively
- Ignoring window handles or obstacles
