What is the recommended cleaning instructions!
Asked by Holly ·
Thank you for your interest! Dusting would be the normal form of cleaning. You can use a damp cloth on the fabric to remove spots or stains.

I have an older house with plaster walls/window frames. I'd like to mount blinds to the top of the interior window frame. Historically the walls have presented a crumbling challenge with basic nails and screws. How would you recommend these be hung, and what is the appx weight for, say, a 4'x3' blind?
Asked by Laura B ·
Thank you for your interest! Our blinds/shades will come with normal sheetrock screws. For your particular walls, the local hardware store should have several solutions that will allow you to mount the blinds. a 4' x 3' fauxwood blind will be weigh approximately 16 lbs. A wood blind would be lighter at 12 lbs.

How do you recommend applying fake wood blinds to french doors?
Asked by Glenn H ·
Thank you for your interest! You usually mount fauxwood blinds above or to the side of the window on your door (more often above). You need 3" added to the height of the actual window (including molding) to have room for the installation brackets above the door and the hold down brackets below the door. You need to add at least 2" to the width of the actual window (including molding) to mount the blinds to the side. Be sure to make sure that your blinds will not interfere with our door handle. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more detailed information.

my inside depth is only 2 and a half inches. I do not wish to hide my beautiful molding. Any suggestions?
Asked by David f ·
Thank you so much for your interest! You can still put these blinds inside your window. The only part of the blind that will extend outside of the window (if you mount them all the way back) is the valance at the top. It should be flush with the window opening so you won't need returns (side pieces that create 3/4 of a box) unless you want them. From the side you will see the flat edge of the valance only. You can also mount your blinds 1" away from the back of the window. Then you can get returns on the side of your valance. However, if you mount them this way your brackets, headrail & slats will extend outside the window. The valance returns will cover the headrail at the top of the window. The valance will be 1" wider than your window and will cover any outside molding at the top. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you need more clarification or to make sure you order is placed the way you want.

what does embossed mean regarding color?
Asked by Susan ·
Thank you for your interest! Embossed means that the slat has a textured surface. Colors with out the embossed in the name have a smooth surface. Please order free samples so you can see the difference for yourself.

I have a picture window which doesn't open with two side windows that do open. I need three blinds on one headrail, 2 blinds at 24 3/4 inches and one blind at 59 3/4 inches. Is that possible?
Asked by James N ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, our 3on1 headrail only goes up to 107". You would need a headrail at 109 1/4". You can order 3 separate blinds instead and get 1 valance (crown molded fauxwood piece that covers the metal headrail). Although, at that width the valance will come in 2 pieces that are miter cut to fit together nicely. Just measure the overall width of your window (if your measurements above are correct it should be 109 1/4"). Then measure the 3 windows your are covering (middle mullion out to the sides and from middle mullion to middle mullion for the center window). The 3 windows should add back to your overall measurement. Then order all 3 blinds are inside mount. The normal width deduction for the inside mount blinds will allow enough space between the blinds so that they move freely in the window and fit inside the brackets (to be mounted back to back in the center). Please call one of our sales agent at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you have more questions. They will help you make sure you get it right.

What is the difference between the white and the white embossed. I don't want a shiny white
Asked by Lory ·
Thank you for your interest! White has a smooth slat and the white embossed has a slight texture. The smooth slat will reflect a little more light than the textured slat. Please order free samples so you can see what color of white works best for you.

One of my windows has a short arch. With the appropriate measurements, are you able to design blinds or a plantation shutter to accommodate the request.
Asked by Leona ·
We do not offer any products for curved, arched, or specialty shaped windows at this time.

Do these shades block sunlight and if so what percentage?
Asked by Natalie ·
Thank you for your interest! These shades do block sunlight and provide privacy when closed. You may be able to see shadows at night when the lights are on in the house. Unfortunately, I don't have the percentage. I would suggest you get samples of the fabric and tape them to your window so you can see for yourself.

Would these cordless faux wood blinds work well on a 56" width blind (36"length)? I'm afraid they would be too heavy. I would prefer one blind vs two blinds filling the window.
Asked by Patricia ·
Thank you for your interest! 56" would work fine for the cordless fauxwood blinds. Our cordless lift system is a heavy duty system that requires you to push a button to release the blind so you can move it.
