Window Shade Mounting Options
After choosing a shade style, the next big decision is how to mount it, which depends on your style of window. ”One of the biggest things I look at is how a window is framed, how much depth they have, or is there no depth and just trim work around the window,” Stouffer says. If the window frame isn’t deep enough, you’ll have to consider an outside mount, where the hardware is drilled onto the trim of the window frame or the wall. Stouffer says you typically need a minimum of three-quarters of an inch to 1.5 inches of window depth for an inside mount. Many designers prefer inside mount if possible because the shade is closer to the window, “kind of hidden and tucked in,” Stouffer says.
