how do you measure for outside mount on a slider door
Asked by Robert C ·
Hello Robert C., thank you for your question! Here is how you will mount for an outside mount vertical blind: STEP 1: Measure the width of the area you want to cover from outside edge to outside edge. This is the width you should order. The blind will cut to the exact width you specify. The valance will be approx. 3/4" wider than blind to cover the mounting brackets. STEP 2: Measure the height of the area you want to cover from outside edge to outside edge. Be sure to account the flat mounting surface area required for this product in your height measurement. You will need to mount at least 1 7/8" above the opening (1 7/8" is the height of the bracket). This is the height you should order. There are no height deductions, the blind will be made to the height you order with a minimal + 3/4" tolerance.

can I order the replacement veins only??
Asked by Jeanette ·
Hello Jeanette, I'm sorry we do not sell just the replacement vanes. It would be the whole blind.

How easily do they clean up for example, when a muddy dog rubs up against them?
Asked by Lynn ·
Hi Lynn, thank you for your interest! Typically, you would clean these just with general dusting. If mud gets on them you will be able to use a damp cloth to remove the spots. These blinds cannot be submerged in water.

Is there an option for the blades to rotate left or right to close or open? I need some to rotate left to open and right to close, and other the opposite. All my existing blinds only go right to open and left to close. Also, how much room is normal to extend the valance or top bar past edge of window for outside mounting? Is 2" adequate?
Asked by Hugh S ·
Hello Jim, thank you for your interest in Blindster. You are able to select which direction the vertical vanes will stack on when you open them. They can stack all to the left, right, or you can do a split stack or center stack. Unfortunately, there is not an option to customize which tilt direction opens and closes the vanes. In regards to your 2nd question, you will need to mount the head rail at least 1 7/8" above the window opening. That is how much flat space is needed in order to mount the installation bracket. Please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales and we can go over more details.

Is there a way to tell the width of the blinds when open? E.g., if the blinds are 100", then once they're folded against each other they only take up 10"? I'd like the window to be completely unobstructed when the blinds are open and want to leave enough room for the blinds on the side when they're folded. (Folded is probably not the right word. "Stacked tightly against each other to show more window" is a little too much word.)
Asked by Greg ·
Hi Greg! On a vertical blind that is 100" the total stack is 15 11/16" when drawing the vanes all the way to one side. If doing a center split stack then the stack would be approx 7 7/8" on each side.
