how well do these blinds block the light? I am interested in the white. Thank you!
Asked by Christa G ·
Thank you for your interest! The blinds will block light but now completely. There will be residual light that creates a halo affect around the edges and some light will come through the slats, even when closed. I would say they block 90 to 95% of the light. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you have more questions.

Can these be mounted to the top of the inside of the window frame?
Asked by Erin ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Yes, you can mount the brackets to the top of the window. Typically, inside mount blinds are mounted to the side. However, the brackets are universal and can be mounted to the side, top or back. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you have more questions.

difference between white and white embossed?
Asked by Randy ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The white is a smooth finish. The white embossed has a texture that looks similar to sandblasted wood. Please get some of our free samples if you want to see the difference in person.

i see the 2" deluxe faux wood has a starting price of $24.71, until i put in the size i will need, then it's $65.89. i could save $8.75 if i go to the super value ones except the color i want isn't offered, cherry. so if the price goes up because of size, will price go down by the quantity of blinds i buy? also, i'm being referred by my mother who ordered A LOT from you, she did her entire house...i believe 12 at the least. myself, i would like to buy 8, for starters, then 4-5 more.

Hi there, I am interested in purchasing the faux wood blinds for my house. I have a small, awkward window on a wood back door that I would like to cover with the blinds. Would an outside mount be suitable? Or can you recommend a different type of blind for a wooden door? Thank you!
Asked by Claire m ·
Thank you so much for your interest! It is very common to put fauxwood blinds on doors as outside mount. You will have to mount the blinds outside mount (mounting above or to the side of the window) unless you have a door with a window that has at least 1 1/4" recess. I have never seen a door with the much depth in the window opening (but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist). Most common other window coverings used on doors is 1" blinds (wood or fauxwood), aluminum blinds, or cell shades.

do I measure the exact length on blinds or do I add a few inches longer?
Asked by Leo R ·
Thank you so much for your interest! For inside mount blinds (mounted inside the window opening): Measure the width of the window at the top, middle & bottom of the window opening and order using the smallest width. Let us know if the top measurement is more than 1/8" larger than the ordered width so we can make sure your valance is the right size. The factory will reduce the width of the blind to allow it to fit inside the brackets and move freely in the window. Measure the height of the window opening on both sides of the window and order using the largest height. For outside mount blinds (mounted above or to the side of the window opening): Measure the area you want to cover with the blinds for both the width and the height. You need 1 1/4" of flat space to mount the installation brackets. The factory will make the blinds to at least the height order up to 3/4" longer.

I ordered blinds through Lowes. I am now well passed two weeks since ordering, and they have just told me that my order has been put on back order for two more weeks. My question is, can I use the measurements that the installer came out and took to order blinds from here or do you know if the measurements would be off from what you require? Also, about how long does it take from the time the blinds are ordered until the time that they are actually delivered. I am in need of blinds and very soon!!!

Thank you so much for your interest! You should be able to use the measurement from your installer as long as he followed these instructions (which are universal for blinds made in the U.S.) For inside mount blinds (mounted inside the window opening): Measure the width of the window at the top, middle & bottom of the window opening and order using the smallest width. Let us know if the top measurement is more than 1/8" larger than the ordered width so we can make sure your valance is the right size. The factory will reduce the width of the blind to allow it to fit inside the brackets and move freely in the window. Measure the height of the window opening on both sides of the window and order using the largest height.

You need 1 1/4" of flat space to mount the installation brackets. The factory will make the blinds to at least the height order up to 3/4" longer. It takes approximately 3 - 5 business days to make the blinds plus shipping time from Houston, Texas. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more details.

Do your blinds have....the "guideholes" in the slats for the ...cord that runs thru from top to bottom. Sorry, I don't know the correct terms.
Asked by Jeana ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Standard blinds have route holes in the center of the slats for the lift cords to run from top to bottom. We do offer a routeless or privacy option on some blinds (including these) that do not have route holes for the lift cords. Instead the slats have notches on the back that line up with the ladders (holds the slats). The lift cords are run down the side of the ladders. This option gives better light control and privacy because the slats have no holes in them. However, the slats do move around when they are tilted or lifted and need to be straightened after your tilt or lift them.
Answered by Blindster ·
Do these blinds block all light? Are they considered rated "privacy"?
Asked by Paul f ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The 1" Premium Wood Blinds are not available with the privacy option. The privacy options is added by eliminating the route holes (holes punched in the center of the slat with the lift cords running through). Instead, the slats are notched on the back of the slat to fall in place with the ladders. While the privacy option gives you more privacy, it still doesn't block all light. Horizontal blinds will have more residual light than some other products because light filters through the gaps between the slats (even when closed tightly). This combined halo effect won't block as much light as a solid shade. Cellular shades (labeled blackout), roman shades with a blackout liner & bamboo shades with a blackout liner are the best for blocking light. Any window covering on our website labeled blackout has a fabric that will be completely opaque (no light will penetrate the fabric). However, there will still be residual light (halo effect) around the edges of the shade. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more advice about which type of blind/shade will work best for you.
