Inside or outside mount for roller shades?
Comments (5)Outside will allow you to clear the window better than inside mount. But outside mount will cover any woodwork on the window so it won't show. Inside mount will expose the woodwork around the window all the time, adding an extra band of color to the space, but it will block more of the window. Up to you...either works....See MoreCan I do outside mount roman shades on these windows?
Comments (17)They of course WILL make them. and what they will not tell you is it is GONNA be a pain in the rear end. Over time, simply the lift and strain on rings and cords, and the heat that builds up with every yank, will "burn out" the cords. Then.......no matter how well crafted? Plan for puff and fluff ritual with every yank back to raised position. You can spend the money and find out. I wouldn't let a client do it at that width. Do as you will. Come back with the regrets: ) The treatment is INAPPROPRIATE for your windows. But yes....... someone will be happy to take your money. The corner will be the least of the issues. Hide an inside mount privacy treatment under a "fixed and never moving " roman shade valance. Or do not do it at all. Ya heard it here....See MoreRoman shades for trimless window
Comments (3)Inside only if it's deep enough to accommodate the header, and it depends on what the window and room require in terms of proportions....See MoreRoman Shade Outside Mount measuring questions
Comments (12)I agree with Sabrina! It will look at lot better with the one continuous piece across the top. If you really want the function of the two shades tho you could do a split headrail (1 headrail with 2 operable shades within it) and have the valance go all the way across. For outside mount it is always ideal to have it end at the edge of the trim. Otherwise it could look out of proportion and not very custom finished....See MorePaul F.
