Sizing a Lampshade
When ordering, please note that we measure:
TOP X BOTTOM X SIDE SLANT
TOP X BOTTOM X SIDE SLANT
- The size of the lampshade is always the bottom measurement.
- Cut Corner styles are measured from flat side to flat side.
- Hexagon and Octagon Styles are measured from Point to Point.
- The Height on full frame shaped shades is measured on the corner.
Measuring Fixture Drop (Recess)
In general, your fixture drop is the distance from the top of the lampshade to the ring/washer fitter that attaches to your lamp base. It is sometimes easier to turn your lampshade upside down on a table and measure from the table up to the fitter.
