Mismatched or outdated window coverings throughout your home? Fix this faux pas with new faux wood blinds. Akin to wood blinds, faux wood blinds look like the real deal but are a fraction of the price. The synthetic PVC slats are durable, easy to clean, moisture resistant, and are treated with UV inhibitors to prevent warping and fading. Our 2 ½ Inch Premium Faux Wood Blind contains our largest slat size making it the closest you can get to a shutter-style view. When closed, the slats provide excellent privacy, but when opened they offer a better outside view compared to our other faux wood blinds.

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 will mount within the window opening. Provide the exact window opening dimensions. Our factory will automatically make width adjustments to ensure proper fit and operation.

Inside Mount

Outside Mount Blinds are ideal for mounting on to trim, a wall, or a door. Outside Mounts are also a good option for window openings that do not offer enough depth for an Inside Mount. 

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.

Headrail

One Blind operating on one headrail system.

 How to Install: Outside Mount

This faux wood blind contains our largest slat size making it the closest you can get to a shutter-style view. When closed, the slats provide excellent privacy, but when opened they offer a better outside view compared to our other faux wood blinds. &nbsp;<ul><li>Treated with UV inhibitors to prevent warping and fading.</li><li>Compared to real wood slats, faux wood slats are water resistant and far more durable.</li><li>Contains separate hang cords to lift and tilt slats.</li><li>Includes a 3” contoured valance that seamlessly attaches to the headrail with hidden magnetic clips.</li></ul>

Let's make sure you have what you need! &nbsp;<ul><li>A&nbsp;metal tape measure</li><li>Pen and paper&nbsp;to record all measurements</li><li>Check if you have&nbsp;sufficient depth:&nbsp;Measure inside the window opening from the front to the back of the opening where the blind would mount.&nbsp;The depth must be at least 1 1/8”.&nbsp;To have a flush mount (fully recessed) the depth must be at least 3”.&nbsp;If your depth is not sufficient please see our&nbsp;outside mount&nbsp;instructions</li></ul>How to Measure:Let's start with the&nbsp;Width:<ul><li>Inside of the window opening/frame measure from left to right at the top of the opening, the middle of the opening, and then the bottom of the opening. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the narrowest. If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8”. &nbsp;That is your ordering width.</li></ul>Now, let's do the&nbsp;Height:<ul><li>Inside of the window opening/frame measure from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest.&nbsp;That is your ordering height.&nbsp;</li></ul>Note: The factory will make the necessary deduction of approximately ½" to your&nbsp;Width&nbsp;to account for movement in the window opening and to ensure that the valance will fit. 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 2 ¼" 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;&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>

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>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.</li></ul>

On The Trim

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>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.&nbsp;</li></ul>Note: We carry complementary 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

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>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>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;

I have ordered several blinds and shades and all have been very nice quality. I love the magnetic headers and their customer service is excellent!

Love my new blinds. Easy to order, great turn around time to delivery and easy to install. I have nothing but good things to say about Blindsters. Very courteous staff and very helpful.

Dolores

My husband suggested we use Blindster for the blinds for our new home. I had never heard of Blindster and was very skeptical about ordering blinds online. Well, as much as I hate to admit it…I was wrong. I’m a HUGE fan of Blindster now and won’t consider getting blinds anywhere else! We ordered 15 blinds (2 1/2” Premium Faux Wood Blinds) in various different lengths and widths and every blind fit absolutely perfect! The turnaround time was fast, each blind was packaged well and the quality was amazing. I also love the magnetic valences &amp; not having any clips. I can highly recommend Blindster with no hesitation!

Once again, the blinds I ordered fit perfectly! I know I can depend on you for accurate and quality products.
Thank you!

I have purchased and installed both blinds and plantation shutters from this company before - three different houses now. Their online ordering process coupled with calls from their production staff before production release make it virtually impossible to receive the wrong product. Assembly was always easy, and we like the new magnetic trim covers for the premium blinds. Nice product improvement.

Very nice blinds. Arrived faster than expected.

The perfect combination of a faux wood blind and a shutter, this blind has extra wide slats for you to have a better view of the outdoors. At the end of a quick installation, affix the sleek, contoured valance to the headrail with hidden magnetic valance clips. &nbsp;
