how well do this shutters insulate
Asked by Joe ·
Thank you for your interest! The shutters will definitely insulate and reduce the transfer of heat or cold. However, there are no definitive measurements for any window covers that are not fabric.

I have cranks to attach handles. These are turned to open and close the window. How do I measure an outside mount, L-frame shutter set up so I can operate the shutters? Obviously, the handle would be removed from the crank when the windows have been opened or closed...

We have windows that tilt in so that the outside of the window can be cleaned from the inside. Can the inside mount shutters allow the window to tilt in without hitting the shutter?
Asked by Dana ·
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to mount them as outside mount and make them large enough to accommodate your tilt windows.

Regarding Shutters: what do you do if your trim is a different color other then white? Can you provide the color to Blindster to have them paint to match your own trim
Asked by Philip B ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, our shutters are only available in the 2 white fauxwood colors. Fauxwood is made from PVC and cannot be painted. You will probably have to find a local supplier for wood shutters to get the color you want.

My two front windows have 4 panels each. Two side panels, one center panel and an arched panel above. Its easy enough to measure the two sides and center panel. But, how do I measure the arched panel?
Asked by Gary H ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, we do not currently offer arched shutters on our website.

Why is the price one amount on the estimate and a different price when you go to "buy"? Also, the web page shows a 40% discount for Easter, but once again, it is not applied when you go to order. What is the real price? Very confusing!
Asked by Debi K ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The price you see on the estimate is based on the size of the blinds (starts at 24" wide x 36" height) and is not discounted. As you change the size the price will adjust accordingly. The 40% discount is applied in the shopping cart (bottom left hand corner). I apologize for the confusion.

Hi, We ordered Roman shades from Blindster before and they work great for us in our Michigan home. We just purchased a Winter home in Phoenix, Arizona and would like to install plantation shutters for the look and ease of cleaning and also to reflect the suns intense Summer rays to help reduce A/C costs. I have a couple of questions. How do these shutters hold up to the Arizona sun? Is there an option to place the shutters over a sliding patio door? I would like to mount the shutters on the outside of the wall which has rounded corners around the window openings. Is there some kind of rule of thumb to find a stud location around the window openings? I would think that the drywall is about 1/2" thick and is mounted to a stud. Looking forward to hear your response to my questions so I can make an order to make our new home look beautiful. Regards, Al Jadczak

I live in Northern Nevada and the sun is ruthless on everything. Will these shutters sag from the heat?
