Measuring for French door blinds and shades is slightly different from measuring a standard window because the treatment is mounted directly to the face of the door. You need enough overlap around the glass for privacy and light control while also making sure the blind or shade does not interfere with the door handle, locks, trim or other hardware.

Measuring blinds or shades for two windows that meet in a corner requires a little more planning than measuring a standard window. If both treatments are made to extend all the way into the same corner, the headrails, rollers or shade fabric can interfere with each other.

Tile, decorative molding or other trim at the bottom of a window can make an inside-mount blind or shade more difficult to measure. The top of the window opening may be wide enough for a normal shade, while the bottom becomes narrower where the tile or molding projects into the opening.

Measuring vertical blinds for a sliding glass door involves more than measuring the glass. You also need to consider the door trim or molding, where the headrail will actually be mounted, how much space the vertical blind will occupy when it is fully open, and whether door handles, walls, cabinets or other obstructions will interfere with the treatment.

Angled top windows, sometimes called triangular or sloped-top windows, can be difficult to cover with a standard rectangular blind or shade because the top of the opening is not level. One practical solution is to mount a standard blind or shade at the point where the angle begins and leave the triangular portion above uncovered.
