My actual inside window measurement is 47.75. Should I order a 46", and if so, will I need any special installation bracket? Thanks!
Asked by Debbie ·
Thank you for your interest! If you are mounting the blinds inside the window opening you should use the width measure of the actual window opening (smallest of the width measurements at the top, middle & bottom of the window). The factory will make a width deduction so that the blind will fit inside the installation brackets and move freely in the window (for this product they deduct 1/2").

where do u mount the cord holders
Asked by Eric ·
Thank you so much for your interest! I'm not sure what you mean by cord holders. It could be cord cleats that allow you to wrap the loose cords around it to keep them secure. If so, you can mount those on the wall beside the blind or inside the window opening (if you have room).

I am about to order a 2 1/2 inch wood blind for my kitchen window. I measured my window width and it is 56 1/2 inches. My question is will these blinds move smoothly up and down or should I allow for space on each side of the blind?
Asked by Teresa ·
Thank you so much for your interest! When ordering inside mount (mounted inside the window opening) blinds you should use the width of the actual window opening (smallest of the measurements at the top, middle & bottom of the window). The factory will make the proper width deduction when manufacturing any blind that is ordered as inside mount. That deduction (in this case 1/2 inch) will allow the blind to fit inside the brackets and move freely in the window.

how large is the valance on a blind that is 53" long?
Asked by Debbie ·
Thank you for your interest!. The standard size (an minimum size) of the valance would be 54 1/2" wide for a blind with a width of 53".

I received samples of the faux wood blinds and like the antique white color. We have decided to go with the wood blinds instead and were wondering if the antique white is pretty much the same color on the wood as the faux wood????
Asked by Doreenanderson ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The Porcelain color is the closest match in the wood colors. However, it is slightly darker & has a little more yellow in it. Please feel free to get more samples to see the exact color.

I ordered 21/2 inch premium wood blinds. My windows have about 5" depth. What is the better way to mount them. Closer to the window or leave a 1.5 inch gap between the window and the blinds. Which one gives a better look.
Asked by Reddynandipati ·
Thank you so much for your interest! 2 1/2 inch blinds need to be mounted at least 1/2" away from the window itself. Determining where to mount them (depth wise) is really just a matter of personal taste.

Questions on the bottom row of pics on the slideshow: 1) On the first pics from the left, what are the wooden colored pieces on the strings? 2) ON the next to last pic on the right, what's the screw with the blue insert?
Asked by Gerry M ·
Thank you so much for your interest! 1. The wooden pieces on the strings are decorative tassels that cover the ends of the lift and tilt cords. 2. The screw with the blue insert is the magnetic valance attachments that are screwed to the back of the valance (not visible).

I have been contemplating a job in our kitchen that has a Bay Window, I'm not sure how to measure and install wood blinds on the inside of that 3 glass bay window. I'm not happy with the space that would be between them when they are closed. Do you cut the inside angles if I could provide them so they are close and won't rub or interfere with each other, or is there some other way to measure and install them?
Asked by Joe ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, none of the factories we work with will cut a blind at an angle. For our products, you would just need to allow space between the blinds in the corner. This space varies from product to product based on the installation brackets. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more detailed information.
