How do I measure/install for an imperfect arch window?

Original Arch Shades are designed to be installed as an inside mount and are designed to fit perfect arch windows. While you may be able to cut and trim the shade for some imperfect arches, we cannot guarantee they will work for you. The general steps for imperfect arches are listed below. We do not recommend using Original Arch Shades for Eyebrow or Elliptical Windows.

If you need an arch shade for these kinds of arches, we recommend looking at a custom arch solution which Redi Shade does not offer. Visit your local home improvement store for assistance with these types of shades.

If you choose to use an Original Arch Shade for an imperfect arch we cannot guarantee that it will work.

The general steps for Imperfect Arches:
Place the Arch Shade in your window, fan open. Take a pencil and trace, on the excess material, following the curvature of the window. Remove the shade and with a sharp pair of scissors, cut off the excess material, following the traced curve. Replace the shade in the window, and mount it down to the sill.
