Outside mount blinds as the name implies outside mount blinds are installed outside of the window frame usually on the trim or above the window.
Roman blinds outside window frame.
Outside mount sometimes referred to as outside brackets means that a blind or shade is installed outside of the window frame while an inside mount is installed inside the window opening.
Unlike traditional vertical blinds or shades roman shades are each made from 1 single piece of fabric.
You can install a new set of roman shades over the course of 3 or 4 hours.
The outside recess position if positioned approx 100mm above the recess will give you a nice pelmet when the roman blind is in the up position minimising the loss of natural light and creating a tapestry effect when in the down position.
Mounting a roman shade outside the window frame requires 2 to 3 of wall above the top window trim.
Benefits of outside mount blinds.
Inside the window recess if you leave your blinds down most of the time then fitting inside the recess can be the smarter choice.
Roman shades raise and lower vertically and when they are raised the piece of fabric elegantly folds over itself.
Since outside window blinds do not have to fit within any parameters they provide more flexibility when choosing window treatments for your home.
