Frequently Asked Questions
What does routeless mean?
The slats have no drilled cord route holes. Support cords run behind the slats, so closed slats show no pinholes of light and privacy is stronger.
Do I need a valance?
No. The decorative headrail is designed to be seen and blocks the top light gap on its own. Modern and crown valances remain available as options.
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.
Will the finishes fade in strong sun?
Slat finishes are rated through more than 2000 hours of UV exposure testing for colorfastness.
