I bought some 2'' wood blinds from you last year. Thought the color was Maple don't see Maple on the !'' choices what do you suggest to match? (going in the same room. need 1'' for door to open wider. DW
Asked by DW ·
Hello DW, Based on what you ordered before the Red Maple leaf color that is now no longer available on our site. The only color that is close is the Carmella in the 1" wood blinds. It is a shade lighter and has a little bit more yellow to it. Please let us know if you want samples.

I want to put these on each of a double French doors. The left door has the lever handle and it extends to the left, projecting some over the area where the blind will go up & down. There is 1.5" gap from the lever to the door surface. Will these 1" blinds fit into that space? Meaning I can still raise them as needed and tilt the slats as needed as well?
Asked by Steve S ·
Hello Steve, This product will not work for what you are trying to do. You would need to push the blind out more for this to happen. You would need to switch out the levers to knobs to make this happen.

I want to order blinds for my doors. Can I get hold-down brackets for the bottom of each blind?
Asked by Sandra B ·
Hello Sandy, Yes you can get hold down brackets for each blind that is going to be on your doors. If you order them outside mount which most door blinds are ordered outside mount then you will click on the hold down option. If for some reason you order inside mount then just put in the notes that you need hold down brackets.

Asked by Mike ·
Thank you so much for your interest! It depends on the with of your window. Anything over 48" wide will need a center support bracket. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more specific information.

Are the blinds opaque enough to darken the room?
Asked by Lynn ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Fauxwood blinds are not really the best option for completely darkening a room. They will darken the room but the gaps between the slats will let in residual light. Usually a blackout product such as cell shades, roller shades, or roman and bamboo shades with blackout liners work better. Anything labeled blackout on our website will not allow light to penetrate the fabric. Although there will be residual light around the edges of the shades. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for more detailed information.

How do you attach these to metal doors?
Asked by David L ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The wood blinds can mount to metal doors. However, our blinds come with normal sheetrock/wood screws. You will have to go to your local hardware store to get the correct screws for your door.

Planning on putting them in our small kitchen...will they keep light out?
Asked by Clarice t ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Horizontal blinds are not the normal choice when you are trying to eliminate light. These blinds will give complete privacy when closed but there will be residual light that comes through the gaps between the slats and around the edges of the blind. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to discuss other products that may work better.

What is the overall depth and width of the valence with an outside mount? I want to use these on French doors and need to avoid the 2 valences hitting each other. Are valence returns standard for an outside mount?
Asked by John D ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The width of the valance is 1 1/2" wider than the blind. The depth is 2 7/8". Yes, valance returns are standard for any blind ordered as outside mount.

I am looking for blinds with material that is flake proof. Will the coating on your blinds flake after a while?
Asked by Dru ·
Thank you so much for your interest! These blinds will not flake. They are made out of solid PVC extruded slats with no outer coating.

I have twin windows/ side-by-side. Would it be best to install one blind or two?
Asked by Theresa Z ·
Thank you for your interest! The answer really depends on how wide your window is overall. If the blinds are more than 72" wide then we recommend ordering a 2on1 headrail or 2 separate blinds. The maximum width you can order for a 2on1 or for a single shades is 96". The cheapest option is often to order 2 separate blinds and cover it with one headrail. You can order 2 separate blinds by measuring the overall width (smallest width at the top, middle & bottom) then dividing by 2 (if your windows are the same size and they usually are). Then order the 2 blinds as inside mount and the normal factory width deductions will make them fit perfectly. You can then get a common valance to cover both blinds. You will need to tell us the overall width at the top of the window so we can get the valance to be made at the correct size. Please call a sales agent at 888-256-8672, option 1 and they will help you get everything ordered correctly.
