Our Brand 2" Faux Wood blinds are made with pvc composite material. The slats can have a smooth, textured, sandblasted or realgrain look and come in several colors. The sandblasted textured slat has a wider grain than the standard textured slat which has a more realistic wood grain-look. These blinds are warranted to keep their color and prevent warping for as long as our customer(s) own the product. Please note: plastic valance clips are standard, however, if you are using this product in a bedroom
Note: This product comes with the Crown valance free of charge. No other valance is available on this product at this time.
Synthetic Blinds are heavier and less rigid than wood blinds. Synthetic wood slats, bottomrails, and valances can be as much as 80% heavier than basswood.

Measure For Wood or Faux Wood Blinds
Inside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
• Take the smallest of the three measurements to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
• The factory will take an approximate 1/2 of an inch deduction from the total width to a lot for brackets and correct installation.
Inside Mount Height
• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three spots across window.
• Take the largest of the three measurements.
Outside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame (outer edge) OR how wide you want the product to be.
• Be sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window plus offer enough coverage to avoid light or privacy gap. 2 inches past the opening on EACH side is suggested if you do not have molding/trim.
• An Outside Valance with returns will be wider than the ordered width to accommodate covering the headrail and mount.
Outside Mount Height
• Measure the top and bottom edge of window frame/trim. If no trim, be sure you provide the height you want the shade to be from top of the headrail to bottom of the bottom rail.
• Be sure to allot for coverage for light control and mounting hardware if mounting above window opening to wall surface. You will need 2 inches of surface area to mount above opening. Call us for further instruction if needed.

It really brightened the room once installed. Everything was correct as a custom order and fit as I had hoped. The process for designing your own was easy and simple and I'm glad I chose this site to fulfill my needs in this regard.
Excellent
Was actually surprised when receiving the blinds, the measurements, which I took myself, were perfect with what I input in the system and were not too short/long, etc. As long as you make the proper measurements, you will not be unsatisfied with the look and quality of the blinds!
The blinds I order from Blinds Express are always exactly as ordered and packed well.
We ordered 13 blinds total and they are great, but one came with the wrong color of fabric/tape; once we notified Blinds Express, they immediately remade the blind and sent a complete replacement with hardware - couldn't have asked for better customer service - excellent company to work with and great product.
