How well do the 2" deluxe faux wood blinds stand up to cats who want to look out the window even when the blinds are closed?
Asked by Rebecca ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Fauxwood blinds will hold up to cats better than most window coverings. Usual damage by cats is breaking the ladders (used to hold the slats) and scratches. If you are concerned, I would suggest you buy the Accident Protection Plan that protects against accidental damage that is not covered by the warranty for manufacturing defects. We will replace the blinds 1 time within the next ten years if the cat damages your blinds. Complete details of the Accident Protection Plan is on our policy page at https://www.blindster.com/our-policies.html.

I am thinking about ordering faux 2" blinds for my bedroom, can I get them with room darkening?
Asked by Vicky ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, there is not an option that will increase the light control on horizontal blinds. The slats themselves will block almost all of the light but there is residual light that will come through between the slats, even when they are closed. It is more common to order one of our shades when you want to have room darkening or blackout: Blackout Cellular Shades, Blackout Roller Shades, Blackout Bamboo or Roman Shades with a blackout liner or Pleated Shades with a blackout liner. Anything on our website labeled blackout will be 100% opaque and not light will penetrate the fabric. However, there is still residual light that will come in around the edges of any shade or blind.

Can open/close regulators be left or right side . Will need one of each if avail.
Asked by Thomas S ·
Thank you so much for your interest! If the blinds are wide enough you can have the controls (lift and tilt) on either side (both can be on the same side as well). Minimum width for same side controls is 18" for outside mount or 18 1/2" for inside mount blinds. Minimum width for split controls is 12 1/8" for outside mount or 12 5/8" for inside mount blinds. All blinds with a width of 12" and below for outside mount or 12 1/8" and below for inside mount will have a center tilt and no lift control. All of these specifications are based on the amount of room required inside the headrail of the blind for the tilt and lift mechanisms. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more detailed information.

Will there be an option for routeless or tapes with the cordless blinds? I'm trying to decide on which to get but I'd rather have both options.
Asked by Tristan ·
Thank you so much for your interest! We have plans to add the cloth tape option to cordless blinds in the future. I do not believe that the routeless option will be available.

Want two blinds on same headrail in 2" faux wood blinds in natural color, to put in front of sliding door. Think I need outside mount to clear sliding door handle. Probably motorized or certainly cord free since one side of sliding door opens. Can't seem to find what I want on your web page and too late tonight for phone contact.
Asked by Edward A ·
Thank you so much for your interest! To get the cordless option you will need to order 2 separate blinds that mount side by side. You can get one valance that will cover both blinds to give it the look of a 2on1 headrail. Unfortunately, we do not have a motorized blind at this time. We expect to add them within the next couple of months. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get expert measuring advice.

I have a picture window with a talk center window and two shorter side windows. I need blinds that can attach to the top of the window frame, not the sides as the 2 side Windows won't have anything to screw into. Can I mount your shades upward?
Asked by Tracy M ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Yes, the blinds come with a universal bracket that can mount to the top, side or back to the wall.

I would like to install some 2" blinds with an inside mount. The windows I will be installing these blind on have an alarm sensor. The sensor is approximately 1 3/4" from the outside of the window frame. Will this allow the blinds to work? Or will it interfere?
Asked by Woodglen2 ·
Thank you so much for your interest! It depends on the depth of your windows and the size of your alarm sensor. You will need a minimum of 1 1/8" of depth in front of your sensor to mount the blinds securely (it may be easier to measure the overall depth and then subtract the depth of sensor). Of course, some of the blind will extend outside the window. You will need a special valance so that the hardware is covered at the top. There is no additional charge for the valance but you will need to talk to a sales associate at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get the right size. Please know the depth of your window (excluding the sensor depth) when you call. You would need 3" total depth (excluding the sensor depth) for the entire blind & valance to be completely inside your window.

Any advice on how to measure for a bay style window? It is two narrow windows flanking a larger one. I just don't want the corners to rub or hit when lowering or raising the blinds. I am considering the Delux Faux Wood 2" Blinds
Asked by Kimberly B ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Bay windows can be a little tricky because the angle varies on every bay window. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales or go to our blog article that gives detailed instructions for measuring a bay window at http://blog.blindster.com/how-to-measure-bay-windows-for-blinds/.

Is the ivory for the 3" Deluxe Light Filtering shades the same shade as for the 3" premium light filtering shade?
Asked by Jill J ·
Thank you so much for your interest! No, the 2 fabrics are different but in similar colors. They even come from 2 different factories. We really encourage you to get free samples before ordering.

are the blinds made in the use?
Asked by Elissa W ·
Thank you so much for your interest! These blinds are custom-made at a plant in McKinney, TX (right outside of Dallas). They are made with some foreign components.
