Wood Blind Operation
Corded
Wood Blinds can be raised/lowered using lift cords and the slats may be opened or closed using a cord or wand control.
Liftless
By eliminating the lift cords which raise and lower these Wood Blinds, they are a safer option for children and pets. There is a separate lifting mechanism used to lift the blind open for occasional use such as cleaning the window. The Wood Blind slats can be opened or closed using the matching wand control.
2-on-1 Headrail
Two Wood Blinds are connected by one continuous headrail. This is a great feature for windows with multiple openings because the right and left blinds operate independently. 2-on-1 headrail is available regardless of how you select to operate your Wood Blind.

Wood Blind No Charge Options
Inside Mount
Wood Blinds can be mounted to the inside of the window frame at the top or sides, this is called an Inside Mount. Most people prefer an Inside Mount because it provides a customized, tailored look and leave decorative molding and window sills exposed.
Outside Mount
Outside Mount is when a Wood Blind is mounted to the wall or molding surrounding the window. Outside Mount is ideal if there is not enough mounting depth for your Wood Blinds in the window frame. Other reasons to choose an Outside Mount include making a window appear larger, allowing the product to stack above or to the side in order to provide an unobstructed view or maximizing privacy by eliminating light gaps.
Standard or Chateau Valance
A rich wood valance in finishes to coordinate with your Wood Blinds can be ordered to add the perfect finishing touch to your window.
Traditional Valance
This larger valance makes for a bolder traditional look and is available with or without a fabric insert to match the decorative tapes on your Wood Blind or stands alone as an eye-catching accent.
Valance Return Depth
Valance returns attached to the back sides of your valance, and extend precisely to the wall or window frame to add a finished look to your window.
Control Side
The controls to open/close, raise/lower your Wood Blind can be placed on the right or left side of the blind.
Split Control
Split Control is when you have the controls for raising/lowering as well as opening/closing the Wood Blind on opposite sides.
Wand Tilt or Cord Tilt
Wood Blinds can be made with a traditional wand that tilts the slats or a cord tilt which closes the slats tighter on larger blinds.
Spacers
Spacers are available for use on windows with a projected molding. They are 3/8" thick and allow the blind to be mounted flush with the outside edge of any standard window molding.
Hold Down Brackets
Hold Down Brackets are used to secure the bottom of a Wood Blind when it is mounted to a door or used in a motor home.
