Inside mount vs outside mount
The type of mount you need will depend on the squareness of your window opening, the depth of your window, and the type of window treatment you want. For example, if you have a shallow window frame, you may need an outside mount to ensure that the treatment doesn’t interfere with the opening and closing of the window. Conversely, if you want a treatment that hangs down from the top of the window opening, you’ll need an inside mount.
