Do you have faux wood blinds that match the Pearl or Cotton shutters?
Asked by G.P. ·
Hello G.P., thank you for reaching out! In our 2" Premium Faux Wood blinds, White would match the Cotton color in our shutters the closest and Antique White matches the Pearl the closest. We always recommend getting some of our free samples prior to purchasing to make sure that this will work for you.

I have a window that curves at the top. When I measure the widow for plantation shutters, do I just measure from the bottom of the window sill to the bottom of the arch?
Asked by Carl ·
Hi Carl, Yes, you will measure just for that square/rectangle portion of your window opening.
Answered by Blindster ·
Does your windows comply with ASTM F2090 safety code R312.2 Window fall protection. Window fall protection shall be provided in accordance with Sections R312.2.1 and R312.2.2. R312.2.1 Window sills. In dwelling units, where the top of the sill of an operable window opening is located less than 24 inches (610 mm) above the finished floor and greater than 72 inches (1829 mm) above the finished grade or other surface below on the exterior of the building, the operable window shall comply with one of the following: 1.Operable windows with openings that will not allow a 4-inch-diameter (102 mm) sphere to pass through the opening where the opening is in its largest opened position. 2.Operable windows that are provided with window fall prevention devices that comply with ASTM F2090. 3.Operable windows that are provided with window opening control devices that comply with Section R312.2.2.
Asked by Rusty M ·
Hi Rusty, thanks for your interest in Blindster and thank you for the interesting question! I have consulted with my shutter specialist and since the panels of a shutter can be opened, access to the window would be unrestricted. This will makes it and all window covering non-fall protection devices therefore, not complying with the ASTM F2090 safety code R312.2.

Do you offer frameless shutter panels.
Asked by Jeff ·
Hello Jeff, thank you for your interest in Blindster. Unfortunately, we do not carry frame-less shutter panels. All of our shutters will come with a frame.

I have decorative trim/casing on every window, which is not a flat trim. I will require an outside mount shutter. How do I measure the window, from the outside edge of the trim, middle, and will a non-flat piece of trim work for your shutters? I also have a large window with a sundial trim, and an arched window on top. How would I go about measuring that type of shutter?
Asked by Ty ·
Hello Ty, thank you for your question. If you are mounting the frame onto existing trim it must be flat and at least 1 3/8" wide. When measuring for an outside mount shutter you want to measure from outside edge to outside edge in 3 different places and record the largest measurement. On a window opening with an arched top you will have to measure to cover only the square portion of that window. Unfortunately, we do not offer coverings for arched windows. Please reach out to us at 888-256-8672, option "1" for sales and we'd be happy to go over any additional details with you.

What about arched top windows
Asked by Jim R ·
Hello Jim, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not offer shutters for arched windows.
Answered by Blindster ·
Hi - Actually 2 questions. 1. We have plantation shutters already installed, can we order just the shutters themselves, and use our existing molding? 2. I read through your Q&A - it looks like earlier you were not offering shutters for arched windows. Has this changed? if not do you have photos of how it looks with a rectangle frame over the arched window? Thanks!
Asked by Gary M ·
Hi Gary, thank you for your questions! The shutters that you order from us will come with the frame as well. Unfortunately, we do not offer the shutters for arched windows but if you give us a call at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales, our shutter specialist would be happy to send you pictures of what that would look like.
