Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order a custom width?
Add the blind to your quote list and include the window schedule with opening sizes to the nearest 1/8 in. and mount type in the quote note. Each blind is cut and confirmed during quote review.
Why choose a 2 1/2 in. slat?
The wider slat shows more glass when open and reads closer to a plantation shutter, with fewer slat lines across the window.
Will a shallow window frame work?
A shallow frame will not give a fully flush inside mount with the wider slat. Outside mount or a partial recess is the usual answer; this is confirmed during quote review.
