I am looking to mount vertical faux wood blinds with an exterior mount over a patio sliding door. If I measure the exact top to bottom width of the doors, will the vanes drag on the floor? I'm wondering if I should subtract a 1/2" from my measurement so they don't drag.
Asked by Michael ·
Thank you so much for your interest! You should deduct slightly so that the vanes do not drag the floor. However, make sure you allow enough height to mount above the door or to the sides. We recommend adding 2 to 3 inches to the height so that you have plenty of space to mount the brackets . You need 1 7/8" of flat space (top to bottom) to mount the brackets. You will also need to adjust the height or width to cover any holding or trim. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more detailed information.

Have there been any problems with the tops of the vanes being too brittle and breaking off from the rail that they hang on? Our last set of verticals blinds were purchased elsewhere and within 6 weeks, 12 of the slats had broken (even with using great care to open and close blinds)!
Asked by Shannon S ·
Thank you for your interest! We normally do not have issues with the vanes breaking. The vanes are covered by our lifetime warranty and will be replaced if they break.

I just had my windows replaced with vinyl windows and lost some depth inside. My lady would like to have the blinds inside the frame. How deep are the Fabric Vertical Blinds?
Asked by Rick J ·
thank you so much for your interest! For vertical blinds you will need 2 1/4" minimum depth to mount the blinds inside the window. You need 3" depth to have every part of the blind inside the window opening. There are many products that require less depth than vertical blinds. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for other recommendations.

I would like to order Vertical Faux Wood blinds for a floating bay window (no wood between the 3 separate panels) they will be installed as inside mount. I have to order 3 separate blinds for this window, but need help as how to figure for the 2 adjoining corners. Again because they are inside mount, the measurements must be exact.

Is there any problem with warping on vertical blinds in the faux wood blinds. I do have afternoon sun on the patio window? Also when you say " pull to left" that means they stack on right and close with pulling to left. Correct?
Asked by Judy ·
Thank you for your interest! We haven't had a problem with the blinds warping if they are installed inside the home. Warped slats would be covered under our limited lifetime warranty. We actually say "One Way Left (standard)" when ordering the blinds. This means that the blinds will close right to left with the stack on the left side. "One Way Right" would have the stack on the right.

Are the blinds colored on both sides?
Asked by Edward ·
Thank you for your interest! Yes, for the Fauxwood Vertical Blinds the color and texture are the same on both sides. This is also true of the Smooth PVC and the Fabric Verticals. However, the Embossed PVC Verticals are the same color on both sides but the back is smooth, not textured. Remember, you can get free samples of all the products on our website to check the color and texture.

How does these secure to the top of the window. My window doesn't have a top ledge and has four metal brackets hanging over to secure the blinds in place. I would need these to have four clips at the top.
Asked by James ·
Thank you for your interest! Inside mount vertical blinds are mounted to the top of the window. Outside mount vertical blinds are mounted to the wall above the window. Please call one of our window covering experts at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales so we can make sure you get the window covering you need.
