Inside mount
Keeps the treatment within the opening when depth and hardware allow.

Inside vs Outside Mount Window Shades in San Pedro
Mount is not only an appearance choice. It changes coverage, light gaps, handle clearance, fabric width, and how the headrail or tube sits against the opening.
Inspect the full depth before choosing inside mount
Window cranks, locks, screens, shallow recesses, uneven trim, and inward-opening parts can interfere. An outside mount can add coverage but needs wall or trim space.
Outside mount
Adds overlap and can reduce visible edge light when surrounding space is available.
Mixed mount
Different rooms can use different mounts while coordinating fabric and hardware color.
Room plan
What to document before the written order
- Measure depth at several points.
- Photograph handles and locks.
- Check wall and trim overlap.
- Open the window fully during measurement.
Example: shallow bedroom opening
A shallow recess may leave the roller tube proud of the trim even when technically mounted inside. Comparing that profile with a deliberate outside mount can produce a cleaner and darker result.
Questions homeowners ask
These answers use current BLINDS100 pricing and offer rules. The exact written project is confirmed after measurement.
Which mount looks cleaner?
The cleaner result depends on the opening. A crowded inside mount can look less intentional than a properly aligned outside mount.
Which mount is better for blackout?
Outside overlap can reduce edge light, but every room should be checked for wall, trim, sill, and hardware conditions.
Does mount change price?
It can when different hardware, accessories, dimensions, or installation conditions are required.
