Mount type determines how you will install the blind. Choose inside mount if your blind will be mounted inside the window opening/frame. Choose outside mount if your blind will be mounted outside the window opening to trim, a wall, or a door.

Mount

Inside mount blinds are installed inside the window opening. Enter the exact size of the window opening NOT the size of the blind. The factory will make a small deduction from your width to allow space for the hardware operation.

Inside Mount

Outside mount blinds are installed outside the window opening to trim, a wall, or a door. Enter the exact size of the blind you want to order.  The factory will make no deductions.

Outside Mount

The headrail holds all of the blind's components together, including the mechanisms that allow the blind to function. It is often covered by a valance.

No deductions will be made to your&nbsp;Height.

 How to Measure: Inside Mount

Before you start measuring, decide whether you will mount on the window trim or above the window trim. Perhaps you are measuring for a door mount? We have instructions for that too! Please note that you must have 5/8" of flat space to mount the bracket on the trim. If you do not have sufficient space, you will need to mount to the side of your trim or above your trim.&nbsp;Let's make sure you have what you need! &nbsp;<ol><li>A&nbsp;metal tape measure</li><li>Pen and paper&nbsp;to record all measurements</li></ol>

<ul><li>Width:<ul><li>At the top of your window on the outside of the trim, measure from left to right. &nbsp;We advise that you take this measurement and make it 1/4” smaller so that the brackets can mount right on the trim. That is your ordering width.</li></ul></li><li>Height:&nbsp;<ul><li>Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or your windowsill. That is your ordering height. The blind will be made to the height you order with a minimal + 3/4" tolerance.</li></ul></li></ul>

On The Trim

<ul><li>Width:<ul><li>Looking above your window trim, decide what area you would like to cover. Measure from left to right of that area and that is your ordering width.</li></ul></li><li>Height:&nbsp;<ul><li>Measure from the top (where you will mount the blind on the wall) to the bottom of your trim or windowsill. That is your ordering height. The blind will be made to the height you order with a minimal + 3/4" tolerance.</li></ul></li></ul>Note: We carry complimentary spacer blocks. These go behind the bracket so that you can push it past the window frame and as a result, prevent the blind from hitting the frame. Spacer blocks will give you an extra 3/8” of depth.&nbsp;

Above The Trim

<ul><li>Width:<ul><li>Measure from the left of your trim piece that goes around the glass to the right of the trim piece. That is your ordering width, however, if you have space it is best to order the blind 1”-2" wider.</li></ul></li><li>Height:<ul><li>Measure from the top of your trim piece around the glass to the bottom of the trim piece at the bottom of the door. Take this measurement and add 3”-4". That is your ordering height.</li></ul></li></ul>Note: We carry complimentary hold-downs. For a successful door mount, you need to install these. They secure the blind at the bottom of the door so that it does not move when the door opens and closes. &nbsp;

1" Aluminum Blinds

This modern and affordable enhancement to your home isn’t just a stylish accessory! 

They fit well and look nice. Easy to install and operate.
I like that you can pick from different colors, so you can
have a different color for each room, if you wish.
I am planning to do all the windows in my house.

I purchased two surface mounted 1 inch aluminum blinds for the front door side lites about a year and a half ago. The dog got excited at the window and damaged one. I left the existing mount in place and the new blind replacement slipped in perfectly. Quality product and the turn around time for production was fast. Blindster is through out the house. THANK YOU !!!!!

I bought three blinds this time and they all fitted perfectly. I do not go anywhere else but Blindster, they have a great product and their customer service is second to none. Last year I screwed up big time on a blind measurement and they made it right with no problem. Can't beat them.
