- Whether your windows lift or have a crank handle
- The depth of your window opening or casing
- The kind of molding that’s around your window
- How much room there is around the molding
Benefits of Inside Mounting of Window Treatments
Inside mounting tends to be the most popular method. It provides a cleaner look in the window and exposes the molding as a decorative element. This type of mounting complements the draperies and improves energy efficiency by having the treatment closer to the glass.
Benefits of Outside Mounting of Window Treatments
Outside mounting of your window treatments works well in specific applications. An outside mount covers the entire window and can provide a uniform look. It is best when you want the treatment to be completely off the window when it’s raised or when there is an obstruction inside the frame. It also works great with a specialty shaped window or if you don’t want the trim to show. If inside mounting would interfere with a crank handle or alarm sensor, outside mounting is best. Finally, if the depth of the window is insufficient for inside mounting or if you want total privacy with no light gap, outside mounting might be the way for you to go.
