Most of us in the North look forward to days like today\u2026 It\u2019s 46 degrees! Blue Skies! SUN!\u00a0In spring, a young man\u2019s fancy may turn to love, but a North-Easterner\u2019s thoughts first turn to how the snow banks have dwindled \u2014 and then to whether the basement is still dry or not!<\/p>\n

\"Spring<\/p>\n

And here, at CellularWindowShades, thoughts also turn to homeowners and their shade requirements. Some are definitely wanting tospruce up the home decor \u2013 and those people have taken advantage of our tidy little 10% off all Yellow shades sale. The thaw has a few among us dreaming of the heated days to come \u2014 and wondering how people in the West will cope this year with skylights letting in the hot summer sun.<\/p>\n

I \u201cattended\u201d a great webinar yesterday, hosted by the mighty Hunter-Douglas. All about measuring from a designer\u2019s point of view. The problems, the concerns, the what-to-watch-fors.<\/p>\n

The best piece of advice that I can pass along straightaway is the idea that the most important measurement taken is the top of the window measurement<\/a> \u2013 if you measure for an inside mount application. Hadn\u2019t we just received an email from a customer whose new shade would not fit in because the end caps made the headrail too wide!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve long advised inquiring customers to measure in three places: top, middle and bottom. HD went one better by adapting the old handyman\u2019s adage: measure twice, and write the measurements down as you go along. As always, for inside mounting a cellular shade, you want the narrowest width among those three measurements when ordering your shade.
