Are these blinds waterproof?
Asked by Cheryl S ·
Hi Cheryl, these blinds are a fine option for a bathroom and the slat material is water-resistant. However, the components inside the headrail are not. You would not want to submerge these blinds in water.

what is a center lift blind? I'm looking at 10" wide; can the blind be raised to clean the window?
Asked by Jim ·
Hello Jim, thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately, on that narrow of a width you will not be able to raise and lower the blind. It will only have a center tilt option that will allow you to open and close the slats.

Does it come with brackets so I can install the blinds on the top inside edge of the window frame instead of the side inside edges? I need to install this blind on the top inside edge of the window frame.
Asked by Valerie r ·
Thanks for your interest! The answer is yes. For this product they have universal brackets and can be top back or side mounted (side mounted depending on width).

Can these mini blinds be cut to fit side lights on a door. The window is 9"x 65" with a small molding around it.
Asked by Diane ·
Hello Diane, thank you for your inquiry. The 1" Aluminum Blinds have a minimum width of 9". This means that the minimum width that your window opening can be is 9 1/2" due to the factory needing to deduct about 1/2" off of the ordered width to allow space for the mounting hardware and room for operation. You may have to look at doing as an outside mount if the window opening itself is only 9" wide. Please feel free to give us a call at 888-256-8672 and we would be happy to discuss different options.

Do you have 1 inch perforated aluminum blinds? I need them for my restaurant windows
Asked by Lori ·
Hi Lori, thank you so much for reaching out! Unfortunately, we do not offer perforated aluminum blinds. These are smooth slats. I'm sorry about that.

are these blinds cordless
Asked by Jennifer ·
Hello Jennifer, this particular category is not cordless, they will come with a tilt wand and a lift cord. We do have 2 categories of Aluminum Blinds that are cordless though. I am posting the category links for them below: https://www.blindster.com/mini-blinds/cordless-aluminum-blinds/ https://www.blindster.com/mini-blinds/no-tools-1-inch-cordless-aluminum-blinds/

We are installing our blinds and notice that we did not receive any valances for our blinds. Should we have ordered them separately? (We did get the clips) Thank-you.
Asked by Gayla C ·
Hi Gayla, the valances would have looked like separate aluminum slats. You should have received these with your order. If not please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "2" for customer service so that we can get that corrected for you right away. I apologize that they were missing.

i need to see how the blind is mounted
Asked by Mary ·
Hi Mary, thank you for reaching out! Our Aluminum blinds are installed with a box bracket on either end of the metal headrail. There are holes on the back, top, and sides of this bracket to accommodate both inside mount and outside mount installation. Please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales. We'd be happy to send you images.

Can you have both of the controls (up down, open & closed) on the left side?
Asked by Michael ·
Hello Michael, thank you for your interest in Blindster! Yes, you are able to customize these 1" Aluminum blinds to have both controls on either the left or right hand side. Or, you can split them and have tilt on one side and lift on the other.
Answered by Blindster ·
I'm interested in your cordless 1" aluminum blinds in black. You show two: Satin black and Pitch black. How do they differ? Is one darker than the other? Or does it mean the sheen?
Asked by Toni J ·
Hi Toni! Thank you so much for your interest! The difference between Satin black and Pitch black is the finish on them. Satin Black is more of a matte finish where as Pitch Black has a high gloss finish.
