I have new windows that are aluminum. Can these faux wood blinds be installed on/in them?
Asked by Pamela ·
Thank you for your interest! You asked about blinds but you are in the shutter section so I will answer for both. You will have to screw into the frame of the window if you want to mount either blinds or shutters inside the window frame. You can order either blinds or shutters as an outside mount. You would need to be able to screw into the wall above or around the window. All of our products will include screws that are used in dry wall applications. You may need to purchase special screws for your windows. Please call a sales agent at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you want to discuss this further.

Hello, I have two windows on the sides of my front door. The width is just shy of 9 1/2" and the height is 69". I have just over around 2 inches on door sides and I don't want the shutter frame to butt up against the door frame. I prefer a shutter. Can this be done?
Asked by Kenneth S ·

I have tilt in Windows for easy cleaning. Will there be enough clearance to tilt the windows in with an inside mount? Also, with the inside mount, is the framing on 4 sides, 3 sides or just 2 sides. Lastly, I have 3 large windows (close together) that are encased on the perimeter only by trim (not individually). Because I only have trim on the far left and right Windows and no trim on the center window, is it possible to mix the "z" and "L" frames for installation?
Asked by Anne R ·
I separated your questions so that my answers might be a little more clear: I have tilt in Windows for easy cleaning. Will there be enough clearance to tilt the windows in with an inside mount? Unfortunately, we do not have an inside mount shutter frame that will allow tilt in style windows to operate properly. The only option for this type of window will be an outside mount shutter, utilizing the L-Frame. Also, with the inside mount, is the framing on 4 sides, 3 sides or just 2 sides? Blindster.com always manufacturers our shutters with four sided frames. This will allow for maximum light blockage as well as superior panel support. The bottom frame style depends on whether you are mounting inside a window with a sill or without a sill. Lastly, I have 3 large windows (close together) that are encased on the perimeter only by trim (not individually). Because I only have trim on the far left and right Windows and no trim on the center window, is it possible to mix the "z" and "L" frames for installation? With a situation like the one described above, the best frame to use would be the L-Frame. I would need to see a photo of the window to make a precise recommendation, but based on your description I would mount the L-frame directly on the trim that surrounds the perimeter. This would create a large shutter that utilizes T- post at the center of every vertical divider in the window. This will give the window a clean, uniform and finished look. If you can send a photo to me, I can give you a more detailed configuration to consider. Please call one of our shutter specialists at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more information.
