Choose outside mount if your blind will be mounted outside the window opening to trim, a wall, or a door. - Inside Mount: Inside mount blinds are installed inside the window opening. Enter the exact size of the window opening NOT the size of the blind. The factory will make a small deduction from your width to allow space for the hardware operation. - Outside Mount: Outside mount blinds are installed outside the window opening to trim, a wall, or a door. Enter the exact size of the blind you want to order. The factory will make no deductions. ### Lift Type The lift type determines how you raise or lower this product. - Continuous Cord Loop: Continuous Cord Loop provides a clean look and features a cord that loops around a tensioning mechanism attached to the wall or window frame.

The dynamic dual layers of material create expressive movement as the alternating fabric bands glide past each other when raising or lowering the shade. Create any combination of view-through or privacy by positioning the sheer and light filtering privacy bands either parallel or offset. As you raise the shade, the bands alternate back and forth in beautiful harmony. These shades lend themselves to both casual and sophisticated decors, accentuating either style with a unique focal point in the window. Customize your shades with a choice of three lift styles – cord loop, a push and pull cordless lift, or convenient and refined motorization with remote control lift (or add a smart hub to integrate into your home automation!). Get to know this shade: - Two layers of material with alternating bands of sheer and light filtering fabric - Fabric bands can be aligned for partial coverage, or staggered for full privacy and light control - Light filtering bands are 3" tall, and sheer bands are 2" tall - Customizable features include color, lift options, and installation type Why you'll love this shade: - Stunning shade design diffuses light while retaining some view-through when fabric bands are aligned, or provides complete privacy and additional light control when the bands are staggered - Specially designed sheer material gently diffuses light while maximizing clear view to the outside with limited moire blurring - Choose between standard continuous cord loop, smooth operating cordless, or convenient remote-controlled motorized lift to raise and lower your shades. - Extension pole is available in conjunction with cordless lift, to help raise and lower shades in tall or hard to reach windows - Cassette valance with matching fabric insert hides the roller tube and operating components and provides a uniform look - All lift types meet CPSC child safety guidelines Key considerations: - Shade components including beaded chain, tensioner, cassette and bottom rail will be color coordinated based on the fabric color in either white, vanilla, gray, bronze or black - The width of the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than the top of the shade (-1 1/4" for cord loop, -1" for cordless, and -1 7/16" for motorized) ## How to measure ### How to Measure: Inside Mount Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth: - Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. To mount the brackets, the depth at the top of the window must be at least 1 1/2" for standard installation, and 3" for EZ Mount installation. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3 3/4". If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product. How to Measure: Let's start with the Width: - Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering width. Now, let's do the Height: - Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/4" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height. Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/4" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets. The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" to 1 7/16" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric) depending on the lift option. When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product. No deductions will be made to the ordered height.

You will need at least 3 1/8" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets. Follow the directions below for where you'd like to install your shade. If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product. Your ordered width will be the width of the cassette at the top of the shade. The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" to 1 7/16" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" on each side) depending on the lift option. If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider – just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade. #### Above the Window (No Trim) Width: - Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance. - Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width. Height: - Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window. - Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height. #### Above the Trim Width: - Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on either side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance. - Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including any desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width. Height: - Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window. - Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height. Note: The shade fabric may rub against the trim when operating. If your trim is more than 1/2" thick, consider adding shims (not included) under the brackets for additional clearance. #### On The Trim Width: - We don't normally recommend mounting zebra dual shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the width of the cassette at the top of the shade. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim. Conversely, having the width of the fabric equal the width of your window trim will mean the top of the shade will extend beyond the width of the window trim. - Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. That is your ordering width. - Note that the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than your ordered width. Height: - Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height. #### Door Mount This shade is not suitable for installing on a door. The motion could cause the fabric to shift and telescope off the tube which will result in the material fraying on the edges.
