Inside Mount Depth chart

You’ve chosen to mount your window treatment inside the frame; next step is to ensure it will fit! Your window must be deep enough to accommodate the mounting brackets; depending on the size of the headrail, a portion of the blind may protrude from the frame. For your blind to be fully recessed inside the window frame, use the Flush Mount chart below.
