How to Measure Inside Mount Width
THE PROBLEM: You measure for a motorized roller shade and then when install time comes, the bracket toes in or out slightly, throwing your entire measurement off. Now you have a shade that doesn't fit perfectly. OUR SOLUTION: Perfect Fit bracket covers! Our molded Perfect Fit tool fits over the install bracket and assumes the shape of the "tombstone" (end cap) on the Nano roller shade. Instead of installing brackets after measuring, install brackets first, and measure with the perfect fit in place. Any measurement you take with Perfect Fit in place already accounts for fluctuation in the bracket angle (due to knots in wood or caulking). With Perfect Fit in place, your final install... a perfect fit!
