Measuring Corner Windows

Butt and Bypass Shades

With two windows which meet in a corner, two shades butt against each other. One shade is the "butt" shade and the other is the "bypass" shade.

Measure each shade separately using normal horizontal blind procedures described here. Once completed simply subtract headrail depth from the butt shade to obtain the proper ordering width. With outside mounted shades allow for overlap on the sides and the bottom. For specific headrail depth refer to blind product pages or call customer service at 877.388.0336 .

Corner Windows not using Butt and Bypass

Some window fashions such as soft verticals (Comfortex Stardust) cannot use the Butt and Bypass. They are then measured to meet in the corner.

Begin by measuring the width of both openings to the common corner. Now deduct the necessary depth of the treatment from the width of each measurement so they will meet in the corner but not overlap. If the use of spacer blocks or extension brackets is necessary for extra clearance on outside mounts, add the amount of extra clearance to the deduction. Order the width less the deduction for each window.
