My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Window depth for window treatment

11 years ago
Hi! So beautiful! I love that you are able to preserve the window trim detail by insetting the window treatment. Can you tell me the approximate depth of your window to be able to accomplish this? My understanding is that the exterior wall size is a factor (1x6 vs 1x4). Thank you!

    The windows installed in that opening appear to have 2 × 4 wall construction. You can pick up a little more depth by using a casement style window. Most of Hunter Douglas' shades and blinds will install in as little as 1" of depth.

    Hey There: You can use almost any jamb depth to install blinds, rollers or shades - but if you don't want them to stick out, you need the following.

    1' for pleated bottom up top down shades

    2 inches for roller shades

    2 1/2 inches for motorized roller shades

    Feel free to browse our website at www.PleatedBlindsStore.com

    We carry the narrowest pleated blinds in the industry with no cords hanging around...have fun
