|
Back to top

|
Back to top

|
19. What is the difference between inside mount and outside mount?
|
Back to top
|
An inside mount is when the window covering is installed inside the window opening. Inside mounting is the preferred method and offers a cleaner, neater look. An outside mount is normally used only when the window opening does not have enough depth to install the window covering inside the window frame and for covering sliding glass doorwalls. Click How-To-Measure to see complete inside and outside mounting instructions.
|
20. What if I measure incorrectly?
|
Back to top
|
It is very important that you take the extra time to measure your windows accurately. Make sure you take every measurement twice before recording your final result. One of the most common measuring errors is recording the width and height measurements in reverse order. The width is always the first measurement given and the height is always the second measurement. Click How-To-Measure to view our measuring instructions. If you follow these instructions carefully, your blinds should fit perfectly. If the measurement is only slightly off, sometimes the size can be altered by the manufacturer for a small charge. Click here to see our complete Return Policy.
|
21. Why do you recommend that some blinds be made as 2 blinds or 3 blinds on one headrail?
|
Back to top
|
On most blinds and shades, there are recommended size restrictions due to weight. If the window covering becomes too large, it will be difficult to operate and also too much stress will be put on the operating mechanisms and cords. If you choose not to follow the manufacturer’s size restriction recommendations and have the window covering made as one blind or shade, the manufacturer’s warranty will be voided.
|
22. What if my blind is damaged during shipping?
|
Back to top
|
We will take care of any damage that occurs to your order during shipping. Inspect your merchandise as soon as you receive it and notify us immediately if there has been any damage to your merchandise during shipping. Click here to see our complete Defective Merchandise / Damaged Delivery Policy.
