what is the depth of headraid for 2 in wood blinds? We have a bay window so I need to know the depth of headrail. Thanks.
Asked by Jim C ·
Thank you for your interest! The 2" Premium Wood Blinds have a metal headrails that is 2" (top to bottom) and 2 1/4" (front to back). The installation brackets are 1/8" larger than the headrail. You need 1 1/8" depth to install the blinds inside the window. Obviously, some of the blind will be outside the window. So you will need returns (side pieces on the valance to cover the side of the brackets) to make your blinds look nice. We will need to know the amount of your recess to get you the correct return sizes. You need 3" depth to fully install the blinds inside the window. These measurements will vary by type of blind. Our specification page has this information listed. Or call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get their expert assistance.

Do you have any wood blinds with cordless up & down and pull string tilt?
Asked by Darin ·
Thank you for your interest! Our cordless wood blinds have a wand tilter. Unfortunately, they wouldn't qualify as a cordless product with a cord tilter system. I am not aware of any cordless wood blinds that are available with a cord tilter.

My bow window doesn't have the required 1 1/8" depth for attaching from the side. Do you have a blind that's wide enough - about 60" (I haven't gotten as far as doing "real" measurements yet) - that can be attached to the top of the window for an inside mount? I love my window and don't want to hide it with an outside mount.
Asked by DJ ·
Thank you for your interest! All of our window coverings require at least 1" of depth (recess) in order to mount inside the window opening. This requirement is the same whether you mount to the top or side of the window. Just in case I'm not understanding your particular situation, tt would be a good idea to call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to discuss your particular window.

I have a 64-inch wide window (and 39" long), and I am concerned that wood blinds that wide would be too heavy (to hang and to lift). Can I order two 32"W blinds with a single track to hang them on? Thanks!
Asked by EvelynW ·
Thank you so much for your interest! 64" wide is not that large for a wood blind. Fauxwood would be much heavier (approximately 80% heavier than wood) but wood is fine. Wood & fauxwood horizontal blinds are really not designed to be lifted often. They are meant to be opened on a regular basis by tilting the slats. Of course, they can be lifted occasionally (i.e., to clean, etc.). With that said, you can get 2 blinds on 1 headrail (2on1 option on our website). This option gives you the added flexibility of opening and closing only part of your window. Pease call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you need more information.

These look great! Will they come in gray colors? I hope so!
Asked by Betsy ·
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, there are no gray colors available at this time.

This may be a very silly question, however we are looking for white wood blinds. I see under the color choices white is an option, however the "color sample" for white looks a bit tan. Is the white, an actual bright white? Thanks!
Asked by Shannon ·
Thank you for your interest! We always recommend that you get free samples of the colors if color is important to you. The color Snowflake in the 2" Premium Wood Blinds is the brightest white in this product. However, it is not a really stark white color. It is a little bit creamy in color. The whitest white we have in a 2" wood blind is in the 2" Privacy Wood Blinds, Aspen White 100. The privacy blinds are normally made routeless, meaning that the lift strings run down the sides of each slats along the ladders. There are holes in the slats. That helps eliminate light and gives you more privacy. However, the slats will move around when open and closed. You will have to straight them after opening or closing the blinds. We don't recommend routeless blinds as outside mount blinds. You can order these blinds without the privacy option (regular routed blinds that have lift strings going down through holes in each slat) by putting a note on the order to make the blinds as regular routed blinds. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more detailed information.

We have ordered the premium wood blinds for part of our home and love them. I would like to order them now for our great room. However, I am interested in having a valance that covers the sides and not just the front. Is this possible? The blinds are so beautiful, but then there is the side view that looks unfinished. I would be so satisfied to learn that is an option! Thanks.
Asked by Cheryl B ·
Yes, the valances can be made with returns (side pieces that attach to the face of the valance). You can put a note on your order and tell us how long to make the returns (standards vary by product). Or you can call a sales associate at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales and they can take your order. Thank you for your interest!

How does the push bottom operate? is it electric?
Asked by Lydia ·
Thank you for your interest! The cordless option is a manual system. We do have a tilt motor option that is not on the website. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales.

What are the main differences between these blinds and the 2" Premium Wood Blinds? Thank you for your time.
Asked by Laurel ·
We ask that you order in widths in 1/8" increments. So you will have whole inches and fractions (if appropriate). Please call one of our sales associates at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more help.
Answered by Blindster ·
good afternoon :) 1) do the wood blinds come in a natural finish? I have clear oak wood floors. 2) when your sizing says "your width", is this from window trim to window trim or the width we want for he blinds?
Asked by Dave ·
Thank you for your interest! The Dolce color is probably closest to a natural finish. We suggest you order the free samples so that you get the right color. Please remember that wood takes a large part of it's color from the wood itself and will vary some in color (stained colors, the paint colors are consistent). For inside mount you would order using the width of the window opening. Use the smallest of the widths measuring at the top middle and bottom of your window. The factory will make a width deduction so that the blind will fit inside the brackets and move freely.
