Flush Wood Blinds Mounting

To Get the perfect fit out of your blinds, you need to make sure all your measurements are done both accurately and according to the manufacturer specifications. Trying to fix improperly sized blinds to a window can be just as costly as buying a whole new set of wood blinds.

Before buying and measuring, you need to decide where to mount your blinds. The ideal situation is inside the window frame, but you may have to do an outside mount on the trim or wall. For recessed mounts inside the window, the frame will hold the head rail and slats. This mount is neat and will not interfere with your trim.

An outside mount for a 2 "wood blind will not look as clean, but you may have to do it depending on your window dimensions. Outside mounts can hide unappealing trim. If you want to maximize both view when the windows are open and privacy when closed, outside mounts cover more area. Inside mullion strips also call for a an outside mount for wood blinds.

For 2 "wood blinds you will need at least an extra quarter inch to allow for the head rail. An attached valance will require more room. Cellular and other types of window coverings may have other kinds of mounting, but but that is not covered in this article.

To maintain measuring accuracy, measure all of your windows, in a sequence, at one time. This is the best way to avoid a mistake that will cost you thousands of dollars. Do not just measure one and assume all the other are the same dimension.

Before you order two inch wood blinds, or anything else, there are a few checks you should make. Remember that some colors clash. A bold color does not necessarily clash but make sure it matches your overall room decor. Like accurate measuring, a color swatch can save you thousands. Consult with your window covering company if you need to order any custom applications like extra long cord shades.
