i would like to order some samples of the embossed vertical blinds. Your sale ends tomorrow, though. if I order the samples, will that reserve the sale price, for when I do order the actual blinds?

What do the blinds look like without the valance? Thank you.
Asked by Catherine R ·
Hello Cathy, With out the valance the Smooth PVC vertical blinds will just have a white metal head rail( depending on the color of your blind it could be metal) and the stems that hold the louvers in place will be visible were as if you had a valance it would cover up a portion of the stems and not be as noticeable. Over all the Valance gives the Vertical blind a complete and decorative look.

I have a large sliding glass door and would like to do split blinds meeting in the center and opening out to the side. How do I measure? The whole thing or in halves?
Asked by Michelle O ·
Hello Shelli, This is going to depend on what you are wanting to do with the window. If you are just wanting to split the window right down the middle then you would measure from left to right inside your window opening and take that measurement and divided it in half. Now if you have a mullion or anything dividing these two sections you would measure from the left inside mount wood to the middle of the dividing and record that measurement. Then from the middle of the dividing piece to the wood on the right hand side inside measure that space then record that measurement. If for any reason you have more question or want to make sure you are doing this correctly. Email us at [email protected] and send us a picture of the window and let us know if you want to outside or inside mount and we can help you more with the measurements.

My slider opens left to right. I want the vertical blinds to stack on the right side. If I do the cord and loop I would want them on the far right. If I do cordless should the wand be on the left?
Asked by Sandy B ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Yes, for a left to right open - the wand would be on the left when it is closed and on the right when it is open. You can have the cord and loop on either side.

Is the entire mechanism metal or plastic? The piece that the slats hang on are usually plastic with a metal rod going thru them and over time they wear out and stop working. This is what is happening to us to several blinds. We want to find some thing better than this aluminum and plastic mechanism.
Asked by Craig B ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The headrail mechanisms are a mixture of nylon reinforced PVC with some metal parts. We have not experienced problems with the headrails failing. Our vertical blinds are covered by a limited lifetime warranty that would cover the headrail.

I would like to install the vertical blinds in an outside mount in such a width so as to have the stacked blinds clear the window edges completely (e.g. the entire window would be visible with the blinds fully opened). What is the "stacked-width" per foot of width?
Asked by Ken L ·
Thank you so much for your interest! I would need the range of widths available to give you an answer. You can call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get your answer.

DO YOU HAVE THE SHEER CURTAINS THAT GO OVER THE BLINDS?
Asked by MARG ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, we don't sell any curtains. We have fabric roller shades and roman shades.

I found some Embossed vertical blinds that I like, but I want the blackout version. I don't see that option. Is it available? How do I find the blackout ones?
Asked by Karen ·
Thank you so much for your interest! All of our vertical blinds except the fabric ones are technically blackout. Light will not penetrate the vanes of the embossed vertical blinds. However, vertical blinds are not the best choice if you are trying to completely blockout light. That is because there will be residual light come through the gaps in the vanes, even though the vanes do overlap slightly when closed. One of the fabric shades (cell shades, roller shades, roman shades, etc.) work better. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to discuss all of your options.
