  1. Remove blind (A) from the box. Determine the width of the installation site by measuring the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the opening. Using the smallest of 3 measurements, subtract 1/2 inch to allow for mounting brackets (AA); this is the width needed to measure on the blind (A).Allen Roth 2 inch Cordless Faux Wood Blind User Guide (31)IMPORTANT: Double-check measurements before cutting. Blinds (A) cut in error do not qualify for warranty return.
  2. Measure the actual width of the blind (A) and subtract the width determined in Step 1. This is the total trimming amount from blind (A). If the total trimming amount is 1/2 inch or less, only trim one end of the blind (A). If the total trimming amount is greater than 1/2 inch, divide the number by 2 and trim the amount from each end of the blind (A). Pencil a mark on the end(s) of the blind (A) at the determined width(s).Allen Roth 2 inch Cordless Faux Wood Blind User Guide (32)Example: 35 ½ inches -33 inches =2 ½ inches ÷ 2_________=1 ¼ inches  Amount to trim from each end The actual width of the blind before cuts Window opening (total from step 1)

FAQs Allen Roth 2-inch Cordless Faux Wood Blind

How good are Allen and Roth blinds?

Blinds by Allen & Roth For the price, these blinds are excellent. These are very simple to install and of good quality.

What advantages do cordless blinds offer?

Cordless shades are safe, reliable, and easy to operate. Cordless shades are safer than conventional blinds since they don’t require a hanging cord to open or close, reducing the risk of strangulation. Instead, you just drag the shades up or down with your fingers to make adjustments.

Are imitation wood blinds prone to breaking?

Because they are made of rather thick PVC, which is very tough and undoubtedly much more durable than any blind made out of wood, faux wood blinds are possibly the most difficult form of blind to break.

Do imitation wood blinds deteriorate in sunlight?

Although they are less expensive, faux wood blinds mimic real wood blinds in appearance. Polymer vinyl composite is a common material for these blinds. Faux wood blinds that are less expensive could be made of softer foam. However, continual sun exposure could cause them to deteriorate.

How are Allen and Roth’s blinds cleaned?

A little mixture of dishwashing liquid (not dishwasher goods) and fresh, clean, warm water will take care of filth and grease for added grime-fighting. A suitable ratio is 5% dishwashing liquid to 95% water.

What keeps cordless blinds in place?

The bottom rail is held in place by a plastic lip that runs through its center. And it’s over, bang. That’s it, for real! Some cordless blinds include a spring tension feature that operates more like a projection screen.

Are cordless blinds more durable?

Blinds with cords usually last longer. Depending on how they are treated, corded blinds may last a little while longer than cordless blinds.

How do cordless blinds lower themselves?

You only need to pull down on the bottom rail of the blinds to know how to lower cordless blinds. On the other hand, place your hand under the bottom rail and slowly move it up to raise the cordless blinds.
