How Do You Put Blinds On A Double Window?
Blinds are mounted side by side in the same window frame by butting the brackets against each other and mounting the center brackets into the top of the window frame. The brackets are designed to be mounted in any direction. Each of the head rails and brackets can be covered by a single valance.
Vertical blinds can be used as a room divider. They are useful in larger rooms where you want to divide the space in half visually. A privacy option is to use two different fabric colors and textures, with one layer covering the upper half of the window with a sheer fabric that allows light to pass through while still allowing you to see out of another layer below.
Choose from several popular options in a wide variety of colors and textures including, blackout or insulating fabrics, double black-out fabrics, light filtering, sheers, and cellular shades. These options allow you to enjoy your view while maintaining your privacy.
You can also choose a window treatment that allows for light and dark privacy combinations. These types of blinds are available in a variety of widths, styles, and textures. If you want to make your window treatment more dimensional, you can use multiple shades of the same color to create depth and visual interest.
Blinds on double windows allow you to give privacy while still letting the light in with minimal obstruction. The fabric is able to be folded back or rolled up as needed so it’s able to be used in a number of different ways. Select from blackout or insulating fabrics, double black-out fabrics, light filtering, sheers, and cellular shades designed to fit your needs.
How Do You Measure Window Depth For Blinds?
The depth measurement will be the smallest—use a measuring tape to record the distance from the window’s glass to the edge of the window frame. This measurement is critical because different blinds require different depths. Before purchasing blinds, double-check the measurements.
Here are some tips to help you measure window depth for blinds:
- Use a measuring tape to measure the width of your window.
- Use a measuring tape to measure the height of your window.
- Add the width and height measurements together to calculate the window depth.
- Compare the window depth measurement to the depth of the Blinds you are considering.
If the window depth is greater than the depth of the Blinds you are considering, then the Blinds will fit the window.
If the window depth is less than the depth of the Blinds you are considering, then the Blinds will need to be ordered in a custom size.
Measure from the top of the window to the bottom. Measure from one side to another. It’s important to get two separate measurements because your blinds could be shorter or longer in each direction.
If you are measuring for a double-hung window, make sure you measure from the top of both the upper sash and lower sash. If you’re only measuring for one of them, you’ll get inaccurate results. Make sure you’re measuring both windows and not just one!
Measure from left to right, so if your window is located at an angle, measure it at its widest spot. The measurement will be between 11/2″ and 21/2″ less than the width of your window frame.
