Ordering for the Holidays

Remember, the holidays are coming! Thanksgiving is almost upon us and Christmas won't be far behind. Manufacturing of your custom made wood and faux wood products can run five to seven days and shipping via ground service will add a few more days. Ten to fifteen business days in normal anywhere in the continental United States. Keep in mind that Woven Woods can run an extra one or two days. Custom products are not shelf ready for same day shipping and therefore when ordering for the Holidays it is best to remember the time frame you are allowing. Another consideration is the increase in shipping times during these high traffic Holidays. Many freight service companies will experience extremely high volumes which can delay shipments or at least stretch the number of days for delivery to the maximum. Our suggestion is just like the dinner, guest arrangements and all the other functions to deal with at the Holiday time....Be certain to order in advance!

Have a great day!

Large Blinds Solutions

Many customers face the same issue concrening large blinds. Often your blinds will be say 102 inches wide. When your searching for a product this wide you'll find no warranty or even that the product cannot be produced.

The solution for this can be a 2 or 3 on 1 head rail. One single head rail of say 102 inches with 2 or 3 blinds hanging from the one head rail. The multiple blind on one header solution will be like ordering any other blind so far as measuring and the space between the blinds will be approximately 1/4 inch.

An alternative to the multiple blind on one head rail is the common valance. This senario is where you have ...again, say 102 inch wide. you enter the total width 102 inch, then choose how many blinds to share the 102 inch space and indicate the width of each blind. The blinds will each have a separate head rail and require individual mounting, the space between the blinds will be about 5/8 inch due to the brackets mounting next to one another. The term common valance is because a valance will be supplied that appears as one piece all the way across the top of the blinds. The commonn valance will appear as a 2 or 3 on one head rail however the space between the blinds is a little greater and the you may save a shipping fee depending on the overall width ordered.

Though ordering is basically the same as a single blind, always check factory specifications for all pertinant deductions and additions.

Have a great week!
