If your windows are of a standard size, you will have no problem finding one that will be just shorter than the span of your window. For wider windows such as sliding doors, you may be better off with other shading options such as vertical blinds, or installing 2 or three venetian blinds. your Venetian Blinds will be made to order for the width of your window and then you will have to install the brackets ready to hang them.

For plaster fitting, it is recommended to insert some plaster plugs in the right locations first.
