Frequently Asked Questions About Blinds

Choosing custom blinds involves more than selecting a style. Homeowners often have questions about materials and operating options before deciding.

What slat size should I choose?

Smaller slats give finer control over light and privacy and tend to suit smaller windows. Wider slats open up a clearer view when tilted open and generally work better on larger windows or in more open rooms.

Is cordless better than a traditional cord-and-wand setup?

Cordless blinds remove hanging cords, which makes them a safer choice in homes with young kids or pets. Motorized versions go a step further by letting you adjust coverings with a remote or smart home app without needing a wand.

Will wood blinds hold up in a humid climate?

It depends on the room and how the blinds are used. Properly selected and installed wood blinds can perform well in many homes. Areas with frequent moisture exposure may benefit from faux wood blinds because they resist the swelling and warping that can affect real wood.

How do you clean horizontal slats?

Slats can collect dust faster than many fabric coverings because of their shape. A microfiber duster or soft cloth can remove most buildup between the slats. Avoid harsh cleaners that may strip or dull the finish.

Do custom blinds cost more than off-the-shelf ones?

Generally, yes, since they are measured for your windows and offer more customization and operation options. This added flexibility can help prevent issues such as poor sizing and products that wear out sooner than expected.
