I am looking at vertical blinds for a doorwall. I want them to open in the center and stack to each side completely away from the molding around the doorwall. How much room is needed on each side for the blinds to stack? The width of the doorwall is 63.5 inches from the outside edges of the molding on each side.
Asked by Waltnpatty ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Your stack for this blind would be 5" to 5 1/2" on each side of the window.

How do you clean the fabric blinds?
Asked by Florence ·
Thank you for your interest! Fabric Blinds are generally dusted to be kept clean. You can use a damp cloth to remove spills or stains but these blinds cannot be submerged in water.

I am thinking about purchasing the fabric vertical blinds. We have a 19 month old who likes to look through windows and the possibility of staining is high. Are they washable if they stain? Are they machine washable?
Asked by Prakash ·
Thank you for your interest! You can dusk and spot clean the fabric vertical slats (with a damp cloth). They cannot be submerged in water or machine washed.

I am looking to purchase vertical blinds, but home owner rules do not permit colors and must be neutral facing the outside. Do you offer white outside and a fabric with color on the inside?
Asked by Roger ·
Thank you for your interest! To get a white backing to your fabric shades, just order the PVC backing option on the vertical. The fabric vanes are inserted into the PVC backing so that the fabric faces the room and the back is white.

Does pvc backing on vertical blinds block more sunlight and does it change the look/texture of the fabric?
Asked by Jmo ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Yes, the PVC backing is opaque and does not allow any light. There will be residual light that comes in between the vanes even when they are closed. The backing is white and will change the look of the fabric. It also gives it more structure. The fabric vane actually slides into a slot on the backing.

Asked by Kiru ·
Thank you for your interest! The fabric vertical blind vanes are only available as is. You can alter the look of the color by adding the white PVC backing.

Which Vertical Blind can I buy that would be considered insulated? I am looking for a blind for our cabin up north in Michigan.
Asked by Fran ·
Thank you for your interest! All window coverings provide some degree of insulation. However, Vertical blinds are not usually used to insulate. Cellular shades are the best insulating window covering. The fabric verticals with the PVC backing (charge option) would provide the best insulation of all of our verticals.

I want to replace the vertical that I've had for some time. I would like to use the old hardware. Can I simply buy the replacement verticals without hardward ??
Asked by Dee S ·
Thank you for your interest! I suggest you just buy the new vertical with the hardware. It is cheaper than ordering just the vanes and you will have the hardware if the new vanes won't work with your old system.

I purchased the fabric blinds for a couple rooms and they let a lot of light in which is great. I did not purchase them with the pvc backing. I want to now purchase a couple large vertical blinds for my two 8 ft door walls. I want white fabric on the front and the pcv on the back. Is the pcv HARD PLASTIC or a soft vinyl? I want them to be strong and sturdy so they hang tight and strong enough to hold up to more use than my office window.
Asked by Lezlie R ·
Thank you for your interest! The PVC backing is a hard plastic. It is very strong and sturdy.
