Protruding mount blinds

You know we get many calls regarding what is commonly called the protruding mount blind. This happens when you do not have enough space for the blind to fit totlly recessed in the window opening. Let's say tou want an inside mount blind which generally requires three inches of depth (for 2 and 2 1/2" blinds). Looking at factory specs you will notice the minimum required mounting space is 1 and 1/8". So the blind brackets can be mounted without the total 3" depth so long as you have a solid mounting surface in which the mounting screws can be inserted. When you mount is this fashion the brackets, blind valance and slats will protrude out into the room. This means the unstained edges of the slats are visible as would they be on an outside mount. It also means the unstained edges of the inside mount valance will be visible. The visible valance and bracket issue can be overcome. To accomplish this you must order inside mount blind with outside mount valance. Simply place order for inside mount utilizing the call/mail payment option. This is suggested so that the order is not produced prior to the all important contact you must make with us to say "Hey I want outside mount valances!" When you request this you will be responsible for letting us know how much valance return (side peice of valance) to provide so that the valance will cover the bracket but also allow for attachment to the head rail. We can cut the valance return to a minimum (usually 1") or to insure the best fit you can trim the valance return yourself (saw required). Many professional installers will cut to fit. This is not complicated, however full understanding is required. When in doubt call to verify. If not totally comfortable, spend the few extra dollars and hire a local installer.

God Bless you and have a wonderful Independence day!
