MEASUREMENTS

First and foremost, it is important to take accurate measurements of the window or door in question before making a purchase. Taking the time to ensure that you have the correct measurements will save you time and frustration in the long run. Our blinds are custom made to your precise measurements therefore it's important they are ordered in the correct size. We have a helpful measurement guide on our website. A special tip is to always measure each window twice. With this advice, it's rare to mis measure and require a repair to cut down the blind. Make sure there is enough depth in your window frame if you plan for an inside mount. If not, an outside mount might be better suited for your home, especially if room darkening is required. The blind will be made to align at the height you provide which should be the full inside height of your window frame or the entire space you want to cover as the headrail will be included in that measurement.

PRIVACY AND LIGHTING 

Next, it is important to think about the level of privacy that you require from your zebra blinds. Some styles offer complete privacy, while others allow light to filter through while still providing privacy. Consider how the room in question will be used and how much privacy you truly need before making your final decision. Its also worth considering the type of light coming into your home at different times of the day. Windows with a lot of light exposure would need a thicker fabric such as the Brazil or Peru, but rooms with minimal our thinner Verona fabric would be sufficient. An office or bedroom could benefit from a room darkening zebra blinds but most communal living spaces are suited for light filtering zebra blinds where privacy is the main need.
