I intend to mount the blinds on the outside of French doors between the French doors and glass storm doors. There is a 3.5 inch space between the two doors. Can these blinds be mounted on the outside of French doors? If so how would I measure for this configuration since the French door handles are only 1/4 inch from the outside of the frame that holds the glass? The French door glass frame is plastic and the door is steel. Do these blinds come with hardware to hold the bottom of the blind in place when the door is opened?

I need to match the color of my existing blinds: "Clay Stone" from Levelor/Riviera aluminum mini blinds. Which color is the closest match?
Asked by Anna ·
Hi Anna, we do not carry Levelor/Riviera blinds, so unfortunately we cannot speak on their product. If you would like, you can order free samples of the colors you believe would be close and find the closest match.

Is the "top down/bottom up" offered on mimi-aluminum blinds
Asked by Kaye P ·
Hi Kaye, The top down and bottom up control is not available on blinds, only shades due to the way blinds are geared. Thank you for your time.

I need 1" inch aluminum blinds which have a draw string and wand which extend an additional 6'. can you make a set for me ?
Asked by Neil ·
Hi Neil, The longest wand that can be requested for this collection is 72". The lift cords can be requested however long you need BUT bear in mind that these are out of spec requests so you want to be sure that you add those notes in the "Notes" field when entering the order or calling in when ready to place the order. Thank you for your time and question.

I have decorative craftsman style trim on a kitchen window that would allow a depth for install of 1 1/4" for an inside top mounted headrail. Question: How far forward from the back of the headrail when installed do the actual blind slats hang? In other words, what is the space from the back of the headrail to the where the blinds begin when open or shut? I am concerned such a shallow mount would leave space gaps on the sides too wide for privacy and sun protection due to the forward projection of the actual blind slats.
Asked by Alice G ·
Hi Alice, Here are installation instructions on how to mount these blinds: https://www.blindster.com/documents/Privacy-aluminum-shade-576.pdf. This should help get you a better understanding of what the brackets look like so that you can see that the headrail and blind actually fit pretty flush to the back side of the brackets so it's really a matter of how you install the blind on how much further it will come out at that point. For this collection to fit flush inside of your opening it does require 1 3/8" depth so it sounds like with your 1 1/4" depth that the blind will not stick out much. If you need any further assistance with this definitely give us a call at 888-256-8672 anytime M-T 8am-7pm CT and F 8am-5pm CT. Thank you for your time.

I currently have 10 1 3-Day Blinds - 1 inch mini - installed which I want to replace. I believe that the color is almond. Do you have a matching color and do I have to install new hardware?
Asked by George ·
Hello George, You would really need to order some of our free samples that we offer out of our 1" Aluminum Blinds to see if we have a match that will work with what you currently have. Also, we can send out a sample of the hardware to see if it matches yours as well.

Received my order today. The product is first rate and I have no regrets. I bent the valance upon installation and was wondering how to go about getting a replacement (at my expense). Order #: 3554618
Asked by John M ·
Hello John, We will get the replacement valance sent out to you asap.
Answered by Blindster ·
When it asks for width and height, are you referring to the opening dimensions or the blind dimensions?
Asked by Mark m ·
Hello Mark, We are referring to the opening dimensions not the blind dimensions because we will make an inside mount deduction on the blind/shade for you.
