SPECIFYING YOUR SHADE DIMENSIONS
Between Columns Ceiling Mount
Use these formulas for specifying shades were the case and guide tracks can be seen from the inside
of the installation opening.
For new construction or difficult installations it is advised to order and install the tracks first. Then
take the measurement between the two tracks to specify your shade width.
= Minimum opening width -
Middle opening width
Bottom Opening Width
MINIMUM OPENING WIDTH - 1/4'' = TOTAL UNIT WIDTH = W
TOTAL HEIGHT OF OPENING
= TOTAL UNIT HEIGHT = H
Width - Measure the total width at the top, middle, and bottom of your opening. Take the smallest
measurement of the three and deduct a total of 1/4". This will give you the TOTAL UNIT WIDTH of
your shade.
Drop - Measure the total height of your opening. That will be your TOTAL UNIT DROP for your shade.
We do manufacture the tracks or guides for your system 5" longer than your TOTAL UNIT HEIGHT so
you can have a little adjustment on site. There is also extra fabric rolled on the tube just in case.

SPECIFYING YOUR SHADE DIMENSIONS
Wall Surface Mount
Use these formulas for specifying shades where the case and guide tracks can NOT be seen from
the inside of the opening.
For new construction or difficult installations it is advised to order and install the tracks first. Then
take the measurement between the two tracks to specify your shade width.
Ensure opening is plumb & parellel. If not, order extra width to keep all track out of view from the
inside.
LARGEST OPENING WIDTH + 3 1/2'' = TOTAL UNIT WIDTH = W
TOTAL HEIGHT OF OPENING + 9 1/2'' = TOTAL UNIT HEIGHT = H
Width - Measure the total width at the top, middle, and bottom of your opening. Take the largest
measurement and add 3 1/2''. This will give you the TOTAL UNIT WIDTH of your shade and allow
only the fabric to be seen from inside your opening.
Drop - Measure the total height of your opening. If you don't want the cassette and bottom bar to be
visible when the unit is completely retracted, please add 9 1/2" inches to your opening's height. We
do manufacture the tracks or guides for your system 5" longer than your TOTAL UNIT HEIGHT So
you can have a little adjustment on site. There is also extra fabric rolled on the tube just in case.
