WHEN PLACING YOUR ORDER:
Can you tell me how to measure my windows?
It's easy. Just follow our simple
measuring guide.
back to top
What do you mean by inside or outside mount?
INSIDE MOUNTS hang completely inside the recessed
area of the window's opening when sufficient window depth is
available. Inside Mounts, the most common way of
hanging blinds, provide a neat, clean look.
OUTSIDE MOUNTS hang outside the window above and beyond
the opening. Usually due to insuffient opening
depth, outside mounts may also be the only
option because a handle or other hardware prohibits
the mount to made inside the opening. Some situations allow for
ouside mounting on wood trim or casing. Outside Mounts are also used
to make a window appear larger or to hide an unattractive window.
back to top
Is a minimum window depth required for an inside
mount?
Yes. The minimum window opening's depth for an inside mount
varies according to product. All depth requirements are
listed in the specifications tab on each product page.
back to top
What does the term color coordinated mean?
Color Coordinated coverings using components similar in color
but, not always exact in color, are common to all
manufacturers. Exact color matches of secondary parts such as tassels, strings or
other parts of a covering with the primary color are rarely possible.
The color choices offered for the primary components, slats, louvers,
fabrics and so forth, are far too extensive, and change too frequently to always have
exact color matches. Designer selected, color coordinated components assure
you that all our coverings provide the desired look. Should you
have specific color concerns, please call our Customer Service Toll Free at
(888) 633-9222.
back to top
What installation hardware comes with my order?
All mounting brackets necessay to install your window treatments are included with
every order.
back to top
Do screws or fasteners come with my order?
Most manufacturers do not include any screws or fasteners with
orders. It's not feasible to include
the screws or fasteners required for every possible application, due to the variety
of mounting surfaces, such as concrete, wood, steel, etc. Therefore it may be
necessary to shop your local hardware store for the specific fasteners required for
the surface you are mounting to.
