Measuring the Width of Your Window
You then subtract 1 1/2″ (3/4″ on each side for the hinges that operate the wood clamps).
This is your final Shade Width.
Measuring the Height of Your Window
NOTE: When figuring your Window Height you have three options for measuring depending on how you plan to mount your Window Warmer.
Option 1: Window Warmers usually are hung from a Velcro Strip attached to the top edge of the window casing.
Option 2: A variation on that is with a Mounting Board. The Mounting Board is a #2 1X Pine Board that is mounted on top of the window casing and the Window Warmer is then hung from the top edge of the Mounting Board. This allows the Window Warmer, when raised, to clear the window opening. This option should be used on doors, windows that swing inward, and whenever you wish to have more of the window exposed.
Option 3: Ornate Casings and other variations of trim may not allow the Window Warmer to be mounted on top. The Velcro is then attached to the face of the window casing.
The other variation with Height Measurement is whether or not you have a sill. Without a sill a bottom clamp is used to hold the Window Warmer tight to the trim. With a sill the Window Warmer rests directly on the sill. The weight of the aluminum bar sewn in the bottom of the Window Warmer holds it tight to the sill.
Measuring the Height of Your Window – Option 1
Option 1: Velcro attached to top of casing.
No Sill – Measure the window and casing from the top edge to the bottom edge – this is your Window Height. You then add 1/4″ – this is your final Shade Height.
With Sill – Measure the window and casing from the top edge to top of the window sill -this is your Window Height. You then add 1 3/4″ – this is your final Shade Height.
Measuring the Height of Your Window – Option 2
Option 2: Velcro attached to top of Mounting Board.
To determine the height of your Mounting Board, use the Stack Height & Mounting Board Dimensions Charts.
No Sill – Measure the window and casing from the top edge to the bottom edge – this is your Window Height. You then add 1/4″ and the height of the Mounting Board – this is your final Shade Height.
With Sill – Measure the window and casing from the top edge to top of the window sill – this is your Window Height. You then add 1 3/4″ and the height of the Mounting Board – this is your final Shade Height.
Measuring the Height of Your Window – Option 3
Option 3: Velcro attached to the face of casing.
Determine where your velcro will be on the top casing face.
No Sill – Measure the window and casing from the top of the Velcro to the bottom edge – this is your Window Height. You then add 1/4″ – this is your final Shade Height.
With Sill – Measure the window and casing from the top of the Velcro to top of the window sill – this is your Window Height. You then add 1″ – this is your final Shade Height.
