Regret, Disbelief, and Frustration.
This is not what it should look like – poorly measured windows
A natural born handy-man, Jason was enjoying the remodeling process of his home until…the window treatments. His wife Hannah picked out the fabrics and style while he took the measurements. A few weeks later after a trip to JCPenny and installing their window treatments, they found themselves blatantly staring in disbelief. Why? Because their new shades left unsightly light gaps, not covering the window in its entirety and to be frank, looked shameful.
The Illusion: Measuring Windows
You’ve been fooled! Despite what it looks like, your windows are not perfectly square and uniform. Go see for yourself and measure your windows. But here’s the kicker, in order to get accurate measurements for purchasing window treatments, your windows need to be measured in 3 places for both height and width as well as on both diagonals.
Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades and Skyline
If you are looking for quality, form fitting window treatments that look amazing, then custom window treatments are your best bet. Hunter Douglas products are all custom made to your exact window, taking into consideration different mounting options, headrails, deductions, frame types, and more, all of which can affect the measurements recorded for your specific window treatment order. For instance, the mounting option you choose, (inside or outside) will determine which length and width of the 3 spots is actually used.
Precision + Professionalism = Perfection!

Technology and Tools
As with most jobs, technology has advanced, allowing for increased speed, accuracy, and convenience. The Leica Disto does just that, using laser technology to provide exact measurement readings you can trust, which is important in minimizing light gaps and in providing a flush, clean look!
Of course, some instances call for the ol’ trusty tape measurer, and there is also a telescoping ruler which is great for seeing if the window is in square and for shutters. Regardless of the tools used, you can be confident that our consultants and installers take their time to get it done right and then follow up with a check measure before ordering your window treatments.
Installing Window Treatments: What to Expect
Once your product is ordered and shipped, we will contact you to set up an installation date. At this appointment, one or both of our installers will show up at your door on time with all of the tools and equipment needed for the job, as well as clean booties to keep your floors spotless. A few drills and screws later, your window treatments will be beautifully installed in your home, taking on average 15-25 minutes per window.
