The length and width of my windows measure in 1/2 and quarter inches. Where can I specify that? Or, do I have to buy the closest full inch?
Asked by Pamela H ·
Thank you for your interest! In both the Width and Height measurement fields there are 2 boxes. The first box is for whole inches and the second box is for the fraction. We make all of our blinds and shades to the nearest 1/8 inch.

I purchased fabric vertical blinds from you in 2012 and some of the slats have stains on them. Is it possible to buy replacement slats?

do the lovers close left and right also when I measure from top to the floor do you make for the clearance or do i
Asked by J k ·
They close which ever way you choose them to. They open to the left or the right either way you choose. The controls are on the opposite side of the way they open to. You measure exactly where you want them to clear. Outside mount allow at least an inch to the outside trim board. Up and down the same way. Measure where you want the header and down to the floor or a little above the floor.

How sturdy are the clips that hold vertical blind up? Our dog likes to look out patio door and pushes the slats to the side to look out when blinds are closed. Thank you!
Asked by Ginny ·
The clips are very sturdy. However, the slats (around the holes punched to fit inside the clips) do sometimes break if they are moved as you described. You can do a couple of things to solve this problem: Choose either the FauxWood, Embossed PVC or the Fabric with the PVC backing. The gauge (slat thickness) for these products is slightly higher than the Smooth PVC vertical. Also, put a note on your order that you want to add the vane savers to each vane. Vane savers are metal reinforcements that slip onto the top of the slat to reinforce the hole that is used to attach to the clips. There is a charge for this option that will vary depending on how many slats are in your vertical blind. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to talk to one of our experts and to get a quote on the cost of the vane savers.
