Engineered for Shallow Window Frames

Traditional blinds can be too bulky for narrow window recesses. Our battery motorized micro mini blinds feature compact 1/2" (12.5mm) aluminum slats, offering a refined and space-saving solution for compatible doors and European-style windows.

The adjustable horizontal slats help control incoming daylight, reduce glare, and provide privacy while maintaining a clean, modern appearance.

Shallow Mount Installation Requirements

These blinds are designed for inside-mount installation in shallow window frames. Before ordering, check both the minimum mounting recess and the additional space needed for the battery module.

Recommended Total Depth Allowance
1.26" (32mm)

Includes the minimum mounting depth and additional battery projection allowance.

0.78"
Minimum Mounting Depth

20mm minimum usable inside mounting recess.

0.47"
Battery Projection

Additional 12mm space allowance for the battery module.

20mm Mounting Depth + 12mm Battery Projection = 32mm Total Allowance

Important Installation Notice: The minimum usable recess depth is 0.78" (20mm). The battery module adds approximately 0.47" (12mm) of projection. We recommend allowing a total of 1.26" (32mm) when planning your installation.

Can I Install These Blinds in a 0.78" Deep Recess?

Yes, a 0.78" (20mm) recess meets the minimum mounting depth specification. However, the battery module may extend beyond the front of the window frame.

Make sure there is enough clearance for the protruding battery and that the installation will not interfere with window handles, hinges, doors, or surrounding surfaces.

For European Tilt-and-Turn Windows: Check that the headrail, battery, and blinds do not interfere with the window when opening, closing, or tilting. The recommended total depth allowance does not guarantee a completely recessed installation.

Custom Width
14" – 70"
Approx. 350–1800mm
Custom Height

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum mounting depth?

The minimum usable mounting recess depth is 0.78" (20mm). The battery projects an additional approximately 0.47" (12mm), so we recommend planning for 1.26" (32mm) of total depth allowance.

Can I install these blinds in a 0.78" deep window recess?

Yes, provided that the recess has sufficient usable mounting space. The battery may extend outside the frame, so check the available clearance before ordering.

Are these suitable for European tilt-and-turn windows?

They may be suitable for compatible window frames. Please verify that the battery, headrail, and blinds will not interfere with the window's opening and tilting mechanisms.

What custom sizes are available?

Custom widths range from 14" to 70", and heights range from 12" to 78".

Do these blinds require hardwiring?

No. The blinds use a battery-powered motor, so permanent hardwired electrical installation is not required.

iHomeBlinds / Measure Before You Order

Measuring Guide

Follow these steps to measure for conventional blinds and shades. Start by choosing an inside or outside mount, then record your dimensions before placing your order.

Measure Each Window

Measure every window individually, even when the openings look the same.

Record Your Dimensions

When ordering in inches, measure to the nearest 1/8 inch. Keep width and height in the same unit.

Check the Product Page

Confirm the mounting requirements and available size options for your chosen product.

Inside Mount

The blind or shade is installed inside the window recess.

  1. 1. Check the Recess Depth

    Measure the usable depth inside your window recess. It must meet the minimum mounting depth shown on the product page. Check for handles or other obstacles that could interfere with installation.

  2. 2. Measure the Width

    Measure inside the recess at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the smallest width and enter that measurement as your order width.

  3. 3. Measure the Height

    Measure inside the recess at the left, middle, and right. Record the largest height and enter that measurement as your order height, unless your product page instructs otherwise.

Order Width = Smallest measured inside width

Order Height = Largest measured inside height

Example: If your smallest width is 34 3/8" and your largest height is 57 5/8", enter W 34 3/8" × H 57 5/8" in your order. Do not subtract the factory deduction yourself.

Inside mount diagram: measure width at the top, middle and bottom, and height at the left, middle and right.
Measure within the window recess.

Inside Mount: Choose Your Deduction Option

Default Option

3 mm Factory Deduction

We deduct 3 mm (approximately 0.12 inches) from the ordered width and from the ordered height. This is one deduction per dimension, not per side.

Enter your measured opening size without subtracting 3 mm. We apply the selected deduction during production.

Optional Selection

No / No Deduction

Select “No” or “No Deduction” when ordering to cancel the default factory deduction. We will not subtract the standard 3 mm from your entered dimensions.

Before selecting this option, confirm that your entered dimensions allow the fitting clearance required by your product.

Outside Mount

The blind or shade is installed outside the recess, with extra coverage around the opening.

  1. 1. Measure the Width & Add Coverage

    Measure across the outside of the window recess at the top, middle, and bottom. Following the illustrated guide, use the smallest width and add 4 inches to calculate your order width.

  2. 2. Measure the Height & Add Coverage

    Measure the height at the left, middle, and right. Use the largest height and add 4 inches to calculate your order height.

  3. 3. Confirm the Final Coverage

    Check that the planned size covers the entire opening and leaves room for the mounting hardware. Adjust the overlap as needed for your mounting position, trim, handles, and nearby obstacles.

Order Width = Measured width + 4" (101.6 mm)

Order Height = Measured height + 4" (101.6 mm)

Example: W 34 3/8" × H 57 5/8"
Order size: W 38 3/8" × H 61 5/8"

Outside mount diagram: take three width measurements and three height measurements around the window recess.
Allow extra coverage beyond the window opening.

Installation Guide

Traditional Bracket Installation

Inside mount & outside mount instructions for bracket-mounted blinds and shades.

Before You Start: Check the Headrail

Installation brackets are usually attached to the headrail for shipping, rather than packed separately. Remove the brackets from the headrail before installing them. Secure the brackets to the mounting surface first, then attach the headrail.

Check the headrail and all packaging before assuming any parts are missing. If brackets are missing or lost, please contact customer service before installation.

Identify Your Bracket Type

The bracket style depends on your product and mounting method. Use the brackets supplied with your shade and follow any model-specific instructions.

Inside Mount

Compact Brackets

Inside mounting typically uses smaller brackets secured to the top interior surface of the window opening. The shade sits within the frame.

Outside Mount

Wall-Mount Brackets

Outside mounting typically uses larger, angled brackets secured to the wall or suitable trim above the window. The shade sits outside the opening.

Selected Products

Two-in-One Brackets

Some products use the same bracket for both mounting methods. Use the mounting face and screw holes specified for your chosen installation.

Bracket shapes, release mechanisms, spacing, and minimum mounting depths vary by model. This guide covers traditional screw-mounted brackets, not no-drill tension systems.

Tools & Fixings

Measuring tape, pencil, level, screwdriver, drill, and screws or anchors suitable for your mounting surface. Check for hidden wiring, pipes, and other obstructions before drilling.

Installation Video

Use the video and step-by-step images as a visual reference. Follow the instructions supplied with your product if its bracket design differs.

Open video on YouTube

Start Here: Prepare Your Brackets

Complete Steps 1–3, then follow the inside mount or outside mount instructions below.

1

Remove the Pre-Attached Brackets

Check the headrail for brackets attached during shipping. Release each bracket according to its clip or locking mechanism, without forcing it. Keep all brackets and fixings together for installation.

Step 1: Remove the inside mount or outside mount brackets attached to the headrail.
2

Measure & Mark the Positions

Hold the headrail at the intended mounting position, check that it is level, and mark the bracket locations. Follow your product instructions for bracket spacing and any additional support brackets.

Step 2: Measure and mark the bracket installation positions.
3

Mark the Screw Holes & Drill

Set the headrail aside. Use each bracket as a template to mark its screw holes, then drill the appropriate pilot holes. Use anchors or other fixings suitable for the mounting surface where required.

Step 3: Position the brackets at the markings and drill the screw holes.

Inside Mount Installation

Attach the brackets to the top interior surface of the window opening.

4A

Secure the Inside Mount Brackets

Screw the compact brackets into the prepared mounting positions, keeping them aligned. If your product uses two-in-one brackets, use the top-fixing holes specified for inside mounting.

Step 4A: Secure the inside mount brackets with screws at the top of the window opening.
5A

Attach the Headrail

For the clip-in brackets shown, hook the headrail into the front of the brackets, then rotate it down until it snaps into place. Support the headrail until every bracket is fully engaged.

Step 5A: Hook the headrail into the inside mount brackets and rotate it into its locked position.

Outside Mount Installation

Attach the brackets to the wall or suitable trim above the window opening.

4B

Secure the Outside Mount Brackets

Fasten the outside mount brackets at the marked positions, keeping them level and aligned. For two-in-one brackets, use the wall-fixing holes specified for outside mounting.

Step 4B: Secure the outside mount brackets to the wall above the window.
5B

Attach the Headrail

For the brackets shown, hook the headrail into the front of the brackets, then rotate it down until it locks into place. Confirm that every bracket is securely engaged before releasing the headrail.

Step 5B: Hook the headrail into the outside mount brackets and rotate it into its locked position.

Final Check Before Use

Confirm that all screws are secure, all brackets are engaged, and the headrail is level. Gently test the shade through its normal range of movement.

If the headrail feels loose or the shade does not operate smoothly, stop and check the installation. Do not force the headrail or operating mechanism.

Missing or Lost Brackets?

First, check whether the brackets are still attached to the headrail or tucked inside the packaging. If you cannot find them, please contact our customer service team.

Include your order number and photos of the headrail and any brackets you received so we can help identify the correct parts. Do not install the shade with missing or incompatible brackets.
