    Just re-measured my 74" blind, and it is exactly 74" wide. The main reason I bought this blind is that it is a full 74". Most others relatively inexpensive bamboo blinds are available in a maximum length of 72". The mounting hardware is adjustable. The end mounts ride in a slot that looks to be 4-5" long. You could easily cut off part of that slot to narrow the width of the blind. I've changed the width a bamboo blind before, it isn't easy. Bamboo is difficult to cut smoothly. Also, keep in mind that not only do you have to accommodate the mounting hardware when changing the width of a blind, but also the threads/cords that run thru the slats joining them together & keeping them aligned. So adjustment is not infinitely variable; you have to cut in between the threads, and far enough away from them to keep them from popping off the new ends of the slats. If you are only talking about shorting the length - how far down the blind goes when it is unrolled - there is a bamboo pole at the bottom of the blind that you would have to remove & re-attach. Again, you are dealing with all of those threads that run the length of the blind, holding slats together. I have these things on 3 windows & one storage area in our home. Changing the width was a huge chore. On the one window where the blind was too long, I just don't unroll it all the way, rather than attempt to change the length. All the best with your window decorating.

    I don't consider myself the best at measurements but I allowed about an half inch clearance for the hardware and they were a perfect fit. These blinds are very beautiful but I am unsure if they can be shortened. That may be a question for the manufacturer?

    I would order shorter than what you actually need. I ended up having to return and get the next size down for inside mount. I do not know if you can shorten the length yourself. I did not need to.

    I suggest contacting Great Offer Stock to let them know. You should be able to return them at no cost or they may be able to send you the hardware. We have two of these binds and love them. Both came with all the hardware.

    I would suggest that you contact the company that made the blinds directly, the information should be in the packaging / instructions that came with the blinds. You could also just use screws to attach the blinds to the window frame by going between the valance and the blind to attach to the frame so that the mounting does not show.

    I do not believe so - just looked at mine. However they also look nice folded up from the bottom. I do that on my French door when I want some extra light but also maintain some privacy!

    I needed a shorter length, too, but with an inside mount, the extra just rests on the sill and rolls back toward the glass.

  "Can I mount these blinds directly to the outside border of a window door? There's no inset on the door as in a window so I wanted to hang it above the glass on the wood part of the door? It would aslo match the other blinds I bought from Great Offer Stock that are the same. Look forward to your reply. Thanks."

    Yes, I have them on two doors and the rest on my windows. My window blinds are mounted inside while my door blinds are mounted on the upper door panel just above the glass. They look just fine together. The brackets let you mount them either way.

  • A:

    Yes, they can be mounted on the outside of the window with the included brackets. I installed two of these shades in my son's room, and mounted them near the ceiling to give the illusion of larger windows, and it worked perfectly. (I also glued black-out lining to the back of the shades to keep his room darker and make the actual outline of the window less obvious since they're hung about a foot above it.) The blinds clear the 5/8" thick trim around our windows, as well, so trim shouldn't interfere with mounting them outside your windows.

    I also installed mine as an outside mount and it looks great. It also blocks more sunlight doing it that way.

  • A:

    I always measure THREE times. Measure horizontally at the top, middle and bottom and use the SHORTEST measurement. When you measure vertically, measure top to bottom on each side and in the middle and take the LONGEST measurement. You will then need to find the closest size as a match. Don't worry about the length. The bottom curls under and you don't see the excess material.
