This question two fold: 1) The faux wood blinds on the front of my house in two different rooms did not come with a valance. I don't like the light that comes in from the top of these blinds. Can I order just a valance for these two windows? If so, how do I go about that? 2) I'm also looking at replacing 3 large windows (45" x80") in my front room as the faux wood blinds in that room are discolored from the strong southern exposure in the Nevada desert, and now they do not match the bright white faux wood blinds on the opposite wall in that room. I am looking at your wood blinds because I know they are lighter in weight, but the white color sample on your website doesn't seem to match the white blinds on the opposite wall. I just ordered color samples this morning to help me make that decision. Are the real wood blinds a good choice in southern exposure windows? If not, what can you recommend?

Thank you so much for your interest! We can only get you extra valances if you place an order for new blinds. None of our factories will just send parts. Wood blinds are a good choice for southern exposure windows.

Hello, My window depth is less than an inch. Can the faux wood blinds be mounted with such less depth (0.8 inches) ?
Asked by Swetha ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Fauxwood blinds require a minimum of 1 1/2" of depth (recess) to mount the blinds. Please call 888-256-8672, option1 for sales to discuss other options.

Hello, How do the cordless Faux Blinds raise up? Does this require any electric or is this some type of spring actuation method. Thank you.
Asked by Joseph C ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The cordless fauxwood blinds raise and lower by hand. You press a button located on the bottomrail and move the blind into your designed position.

Are these blinds appropriate for a window in a bathtub/shower?
Asked by Mark ·
Thank you for your interest! Yes, fauxwood blinds are commonly used in a high-moisture area. Moisture will not affect the slats of these blinds.

Are cords through blinds or outside with notches (called security or privacy I think)?
Asked by Thomas G ·
Thank you so much for your interest! These blinds have cords that run through route holes in the center of each slat. You would need to order the routeless option on the 2" Premium Fauxwood Blinds to get the security or privacy option.

We have a triple window so we are doing 3 blinds on one headrail. Each window is separated by 2 1/4 inches of frame. Do we just measure the window itself or to the middle of the framing material that separates the windows?
Asked by Beth H ·
Thank you so much for your interest! To measure for a 3on1 you would measure the overall width (smallest width measurement at the top, middle & bottom of the window). Then divide the window into 3 separate blinds, usually so that the 1/4" gaps will be over the mullion. If the 3 windows are equal then just divide the overall width by 3. If you can't do that with even 1/8" increments then make the center blind slightly wider. If the windows are not equal, measure from the outside to the center of the mullion on each side to get the size of the side blinds (you usually want these to be the same size so it looks more esthetically pleasing). Then measure from center mullion to center mullion to get the size of the center blind. The 3 measurements have to equal the overall width measurement. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more information.

If I order the 10 in. blind what will be the actual blind width...the opening itself is only 10 1/2 in..
Asked by Mike ·
Thank you so much for your interest! When ordering shades to mount inside the windows, we recommend that you order using the window opening width (smallest of the measurements at the top, middle & bottom of the window). The factory will make the necessary width deduction (varies by product) so that the shades will fit inside the brackets and move freely in the window. That way, no matter what product you order, you will get the tightest fit recommended but still have a shade that works properly. The factory will not take a deduction for outside mount. The blinds would be made to the exact width ordered and to at least the height ordered (may be up to 3/4" longer in height). The valances are different for an inside mount or an outside mount. It is best to order as inside mount with the actual window opening. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you have more questions.
