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 real wood over faux wood?
Basswood is significantly lighter, which makes wide blinds easier to raise, and it carries natural grain that painted PVC cannot fully match.
Can I use this blind in a bathroom?
Real wood is not recommended for high-humidity rooms. For baths and kitchens consider the faux wood platforms in this family.
