INSIDE MOUNTS hang completely inside the recessed area of the window's opening when sufficient window depth is available. Inside Mounts, the most common way of hanging blinds, provide a neat, clean look.

OUTSIDE MOUNTS hang outside the window above and beyond the opening (Example would be a sliding glass patio door as most do not have an inside recessed area). Usually due to insuffient opening depth, outside mounts may also be the only option because a handle or other hardware prohibits the mount to made inside the opening. Some situations allow for ouside mounting on wood trim or casing. Outside Mounts are also used to make a window appear larger or to hide an unattractive window.

Colour Coordinated coverings using components similar in colour but, not always exact in colour, are common to all manufacturers. Exact colour matches of secondary parts such as tassels, strings or other parts of a covering with the primary colour are rarely possible.

Designer selected, colour coordinated components assure you that all our coverings provide the desired look. Should you have specific colour concerns, please call or email our Customer Service department using the contact information listed at the top of website.
