Measuring your windows
Over four decades of experience assures Vertical Vic’s customers the best of custom window coverings. We manufacture vertical blinds, faux wood blinds, and have a fully staffed drapery work room.
When measuring, to insure accuracy, use only a high quality, steel tape measure with a wide blade. Inform your sales associate of any obstructions inside your window frame (locks, screens, crank handles, etc) and inform them of any obstructions outside your window (distance to wall, space to cabinets, etc).
Do not make any adjustments to your measurements. Your Vertical Vic’s sales associate will make any necessary adjustments. If you have a window sill, measure how far it protrudes from the wall, and overall depth.
