📏 Three Simple Steps to Measure Your Window Before Ordering Your Honeycomb Shades
1. Measure the width
Measure the inside width of your window frame at the front edge — that’s where the shade will be installed.
2. Measure the height
Measure the full height from top to bottom, again from the front edge of the frame.
3. Check the depth
Make sure there’s at least 3.3 cm (1.3") of clear depth to install your shade safely — watch out for handles or locks that stick out.
✅ For a perfect fit, always measure precisely and double-check your numbers before ordering.
Step 1: Measure the Depth of Your Window Frame
Before thinking about anchoring or height, it’s essential to check the depth of your window recess to ensure there’s enough space to install the shade properly.
✅ Minimum required depth: 3.3 cm (1.3 inches) for a safe and secure installation.
How to measure:
-
Place the measuring tape at the front edge of the window frame (the part closest to the room).
-
Measure straight back to the deepest point of the recess.
⚠️ Important: Check for any obstructions like handles, locks, or security screens that could interfere with installation.
Common obstructions include:
🔹 Window handles
🔹 Security screens
🔹 Locks
🔹 Cables or opening mechanisms
How to Measure When There Are Obstructions
Even if your window has a deep recess, certain elements like handles or locks can get in the way and prevent proper installation of the shade. To ensure your KLIMAPRO shade fits securely:
-
Measure the total depth of the recess:
From the front edge of the recess to the surface of the window. -
Calculate the available space:
Subtract the depth of any obstruction from the total recess depth.
This gives you the unobstructed recess depth.
🛑 Important:
You’ll need at least 3.3 cm of unobstructed space to safely install the Guard inside the recess.
Avoid These Common Measuring Mistakes
To ensure the best possible fit, make sure to avoid these frequent errors:
Measuring at an angle
Always keep your tape measure straight and level. Even a slight tilt can throw off your measurements.
Bending the tape
A curved tape gives inaccurate readings. Keep it flat and tight against the surface.
Incorrect rounding
If you need to round, do it precisely — to the nearest 1/16 of an inch or 1 millimeter.
Final Tips for Perfect Measurements
✅ Be precise.
Don’t guess or estimate. Always use exact numbers and round only if absolutely necessary — and as precisely as possible.
