how much smaller in width than the window width do I need? My window is 701/4 Annette
Asked by Annette ·
Thank you so much for your interest! If you are mounting inside the window frame you should order using the window opening width (smallest of the measurements at the top, middle & back).

Blinds under 11" specify "no lift". Does this mean I can not raise the blinds for cleaning, sunlight, etc.?
Asked by Patti P ·
Thank you for your interest! Yes, when it says "no lift" there will be no lift cords to raise the blind. There isn't enough room in the headrail for both mechanisms. You will still be able to tilt them open and closed.

We are comparing the faux wood and cellular blinds for our bedroom. We are interested in both insulation and light filtering (but not necessarily blackout). I found an insulation rating for the cellular but not for the faux wood. Is that because the faux wood really doesn't do much to insulate? Please advise. Thanks!
Asked by Andy ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Cellular blinds were created to give insulation. Fauxwood blinds do give some insulation but only when the slats are tilted closed. That is why there is no rating on the fauxwood blinds.

What is the difference between the faux wood and super value faux wood blinds? There is quite a price difference but the pictures look very similar.
Asked by Mary ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Both the Super Value and Deluxe Fauxwood Blinds are ready-made blinds. They are mostly made overseas, sent the U.S. and then the factory will adjust the width and height according to your order. The difference in these 2 products is that they are made by different factories here in the U.S, the colors are more limited and the sizes are also limited. The Premium Fauxwood Blinds are custom-made here in the United States. These custom-made blinds are available with options (routeless construction, cloth tapes, etc.), in a wider variety of colors, and are made in larger sizes.

I am getting a different price every time I put in the measurements, is there a reason for that change?
Asked by Brooke ·
Thank you for your interest! All of our products vary in price by size. It takes more material and components to make a bigger blind and the freight costs more.

Can these be used for French doors and front doors? If so how do you mount them?
Asked by Annie ·
Thanks for your interest! These blinds can and are used on doors. You would need to mount them above or to the side of your window (and trim if you have it). If you choose to mount them above the glass then you need to add at least 3 inches to the height of your actual window (and trim if you have it) measurement. If you mount them to the side of your glass you would need to add at least 2 inches to the width and 1 1/2 inches to the height of your actual window (and trim if you have it) measurement. You will need to make sure that you have room to make your blind wider and that it will not interfere with your door handle. The additional height is for the hold down brackets at the bottom (holds the bottom of the blind in place so it doesn't move when you open the door). Either way, you should order your blinds using the actual width and height of the area you want to cover with the blinds.

Has anyone painted the slats? I have a new house and all the window trim is the same color. To get a close match I would have to either repaint all the window trim or blinds.
Asked by Mary P ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, you cannot paint fauxwood blinds. The slats are made out of PVC and paint will not adhere to the surface. You could paint wood blinds. However, before you paint anything you should get some free color samples. We have a lot of white colors (especially in the wood blinds) and it is very likely that one of the colors will match your trim.

Some blind we purchased in big box hardware store only had two cords on each side, but the better one we purchased and we like have three. One runs down thru the center in a slot. This is what I am looking for. Thanks
Asked by Terry D ·
Thank you for your interest. The number of cords is determined by the size of the shade. On a fauxwood blind there can be as many as 4 lift cords and 8 ladders (varies by size). The 2" Super Value Fauxwood Blinds and the 2" Deluxe Fauxwood Blinds are ready-made blinds. These blinds are manufactured (about 80% complete) overseas and then cut to the ordered width and finished to the ordered height by the factory here in the U.S. You can request the number of ladders you would like to have but it may not always be possible depending on the size of your window. Our 2" Premium Fauxwood Blinds are custom-made here in the U.S. If you call one of our sales agents we can tell you the number of ladders and lift cords that will be on every blind you are wanting to order. We do not recommend that you request fewer cords or ladders than the factory considers to be necessary. However, this factory will make the blinds according to your request but the warranty will not be valid for special-ordered blinds.

Do the blinds come with all hardware to hang them?
Asked by Arnelle B ·
Thank you for your interest! Yes, every product on our website comes with the hardware needed to hang them.
Answered by Blindster ·
how heavy are these? I've seen all types in the store, some lightweight, some very heavy.
Asked by Katie ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The weight varies based on the size of the blind. Horizontal blinds are generally meant to be used by tilting the slats open and closed. They can be lifted occasionally for cleaning. Fauxwood blinds are actually the heaviest of the horizontal blinds, approximately 80% heavier than real wood.
