The Actual Meaning of “Outside Mount”
“Outside mounting” refers to a window covering installation type. However, contrary to popular belief, outside mounting does not imply hanging your shades on the exterior of your home.
Outside mounting is the process of mounting your shades on the interior of your home, and on the outside of the window frame or on the wall around the window frame. This might be hard to picture, so we will try to help you visualize.
Consider your own home’s windows. They’re most likely set into the wall, with a frame surrounding them and a window sill where you can display your lovely plants or knick-knacks. Consider where your blinds, shades, or curtains are positioned in relation to the window now. Are they connected to each side of the window frame with a rod? Or do they attach to the face of the frame or on the top or sides of the walls surrounding the frame? Outside mounting is scenario two on the face of the frame or along the wall.

Why So Many People Choose Outside Mounted Shades
To cover your windows completely, use a top-to-bottom outside mounted roller blind. Because there are no trim pieces that restrict how far down the shade can grow on each side, the outside mount allows you more control over the shade’s height. You may even be able to position a sheer curtain behind it for additional privacy and protection from the sun.
Is It in Your Future to Install Outside Mounting in Your Home?
Outside mount roller blinds, contrary to popular belief, are simply another method of mounting your roller shades to interior windows. Outside mounted roller drapes will be attached to the window face or on the wall next to or above the window frame instead of being confined within the window frame’s box.
