We are interested in ordering vertical blinds for our sliding doors. We requested samples a while back and selected the one we wanted, but when I checked your website today, the choices are much more limited, and the color/texture we had chosen is no longer listed as an option. Our preferred textures were either Myrtle or Richmond, in Buttermilk. Are either of those still available, and if not, will they be available again at some point? And if they won't ever be available again, can you tell me which color selection above would be the closest to the Buttermilk color? And is the only texture available a wood grain texture, or do you still have the linen-look textures?
Asked by Jane ·
Hello Jane, No those colors are no longer an option at all. However I do want you to know if you go to our PVC line we still carry some textured colors. Manhattan Buttermilk is the only color that will still be a good option but the texture is different.

If the wand is in the center of the blind for the split stack options, what movement does the right or left wand position indicate? For instance if I choose the right wand position for the split stack, where will the wand be located when the blind is open?
Asked by Yvonne T ·
Hello Yvonne, thank you for your question! For Split Stack; Cordless Wand option, the wand will be in the center when the blind is closed. In order to open the blind, you will walk the wand to the right if you have Right control position selected. When the blind is open, the wand will be on the right hand side.

Hi Jeff, Delivery normally takes 1-5 business days however currently most shippers are short staffed which is causing delays on delivery. We are finding that right now they are running approximately 3- 10 days at times.

I am looking for blinds for my glass slider 71w 77 3/8 high. I want an inside mount with a wan and it needs to slide to the right. Since I am looking at wooden shades I was hoping to find this in wood. Are you able to help.
Asked by Pat L ·
Hi Pat, For the vertical blinds we do not have the real wood available. We only have our PVC, Fabric or Faux Wood selections currently. Please give us a call if you have any further questions.

For vertical blinds, can I have the blinds open to the right, but with the controls on the left? If ordering the wand control, does the wand "move" with the blinds as you open them? If so, the controls would have to be on the opposite side of the stack, correct? Thanks!
Asked by John S ·
Hi John, When using the wand control the wand will be placed on the opposite side it stacks. So, if you choose one way stack right then the wand will be on the left-hand side and you will pull that wand from the left to the right for it to stack. The same applies for the opposite direction.

We're looking at using these vertical blinds for patio doors. We were thinking about getting two at half-width to meet in the middle. Is there any problem with doing it that way?
Asked by Vickie H ·
Hello Vickie, thank you for your inquiry! That is definitely an option and would work out well. If you'd like, give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales. We can make internal notes on our end so that the factory is aware that these 2 blinds will be going side by side and they can align the vanes for you so that when they close in the middle you have the least amount of gap possible between the vanes and we can make sure that your valance pieces come wide enough as well.

I'm looking to replace an old set of vertical blinds that were installed outside/over a sliding glass door. To duplicate closely the area covered with the old vertical blinds, for a new vertical blinds order here, should I measure the width of just the area covered by the existing vanes or should I use the (wider) width of the top rail and valence? For the height on a new order should I measure from top of the old rail/brackets down to the ground minus 1/2" for space below the vanes?
Asked by Don ·
Hello Don, thank you for your inquiry! When trying to duplicate a current outside mounted vertical blind your width will need to be the width of the current headrail from left to right. This will be the exact width you receive on the new blind. For the height, you will need to start your measurement at the top of the headrail and bring the tape measure down to the bottom of the vane or to the ground and do your deduction for space (we recommend vertical blinds hang 1" above the floor). The most important part though is that the height measurement starts at the very top of the current headrail. We do not make any height deductions on our end.

My sliding glass door opens with the handle on the right side. Would my correct ordering options for vertical blinds be with control want (cordless) on the right side and stack type of one-way to the left? So that the wand would push the vanes from the right side to the left side where they then would stack on the left side with the wand, so I can go thru the open sliding glass door on the right side? For the Faux Wood vertical blinds, are the vanes the same color on both sides, specifically the RealGrain colors such as Pecan?
Asked by Don ·
Hello Don, thank you for reaching out! Yes, that is correct. You would want to start off picturing as if you had the vertical blind there in the closed position. In the closed position, you would want your wand to be on the right-hand side, and then when you operate, you will be sliding the wand to the left so that it all stacks on the left-hand side. This will mimic the operation of your sliding glass door. Also, yes, the vanes will be the same color on both sides.

With your verticall blinds, can you mount inside window jams by screwing upwards? This is a basement window and there is no space above window fixture
Asked by Tye ·
Hi Tye, thank you so much for your inquiry! Yes, you will be able to mount these as an inside mount and the bracket will screw up into the window opening for you. You will need a minimum depth of 2 1/4" to accommodate the bracket and screw hole location.

How much space is required for stacking on an 80" wide right hand to keep off glass door?
Asked by Sandra C ·
Hi Sandy, an 80" width will have approximately a 13" stack. I would estimate a width of about 95 - 97" would be needed to keep vanes off the glass.
