We have some large casement window with an angle at the top (looking at window, left side vertical is 100" and right side vertical is 110") - can we use your product?
Asked by Jim G ·
Hi Jim, thank you for your question! You would not be able to mount these at an angle. In order to mount these, you would want to mount as an outside mount, level, above the tallest part of the window opening.

When measuring for the faux wood blinds that include the valance do I include the extra inches at the top like you would with the economy ones? Or is it added in.
Asked by Donna D ·
Hi Donna, thank you for reaching out! You would add inches if you are ordering as an outside mount. We recommend adding at least 1 7/8" at the top of the opening to accommodate the height of the mounting bracket. If ordering as an inside mount, you would just need to give us the exact height from the top of the opening to the bottom. Please give us a call if you have any questions, we'd be happy to help! 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales.

do blinds for sliding doors open left or right or both?
Asked by Ken s ·
Hi Ken, thank you so much for reaching out! You are able to customize these blinds to open on either the left or right-hand side. There are additional options for a center stack and a split stack as well.

Wanted to order vertical blinds. I noticed the ones there now had brackets that were installed just above the top trim piece so they would be sitting flat. Do your vertical blinds come with this type of bracket setup that hangs out past the trim? And what should I add to my overall measurement. I measured from top of the top window trim to the bottom or the bottom window trim and it's 53". I was going to add 2-3 inches to allow for the bracket installation above the top trim and to have some blind hanging down below the bottom trim. Is that recommended?
Asked by Richard G ·
Hi Richard, thanks for reaching out! Yes, our brackets will be similar. With this blind being an outside mount you will want to provide the exact size of the blind you need. You will want to take into account the flat surface area needed for the bracket, so adding 2" at the top is recommended. (The bracket is 1 7/8" tall.) You will then want to measure how far down you want the vanes to go to come up with your final height. It sounds to me like you're measuring correctly! If you need any further assistance, please feel free to give us a call at 888-256-8672.

What color blinds is in the photo
Asked by Natasha ·
Hello Natasha, to me it looks like the RealGrain Natural. I would recommend ordering some of our fauxwood vertical blind samples though to make sure that will work best for your application.

Can the blinds open from the center?
Asked by Laura ·
Hi Laura, thank you for your inquiry. Yes, these have a Split Stack option in which the vanes open from the center and stack evenly on the left and right sides.

For inside mounting of the vertical blinds on the sliding door my measurements are 92"1/2 h and 104"1/2 w do I subtract 1/2" off from width and height for installation ?
Asked by John ·
Hi John, great question! When labeled as an inside mount, we will automatically take off a 3/8" deduction from the width you ordered to allow space for mounting and operation. You do not need to adjust your width, just provide us with the exact window opening width. On the height we will automatically deduct a 1/4" (our standard sweep deduction). We recommend that vertical blinds, for a door, hang 1" above the floor. Depending on what type of flooring, you may want to take off an additional 1/2 - 3/4" of your height measurement only. **This is what we recommend for doors only, you will not want to make any adjustments to vertical blind measurements for windows. If you need further assistance please feel free to reach out to us at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales.

Asked by Sandy ·
Hello Sandy, we would recommend getting samples sent out. The horizontal and the vertical blinds do come from 2 different color lines. Some colors match and others do not. Give us a call at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales, and we would be happy to check for you.
