Before placing your order
• Color Accuracy
Although the color scans on this web site were scanned
with a very high quality scanner not all computer monitors
are the same and do not necessarily display colors the same
way. It is recommended that you have your video resolution
adjusted to 800 x 600 or greater and your color depth set to
16 bit (high color) or 32 bit (true color). Most modern
computers are capable of displaying 16.7 million colors at
one time in 32 bit mode.
If an exact color match is required request a sample - if
samples are available for the product you are interested in
please request a swatch. Note:
No refund or product exchanges will be offered over color
related complaints unless a swatch sample is ordered in
advance. The only exception would be in the event you
receive a completely different colored blind than you
ordered e.g. you ordered a red blind but receive a white
blind instead.
• Warranty
Woodland Blinds warrants
to the original purchaser that the product manufactured by Woodland
Blinds is
free from defects in material and workmanship under normal
use and as long as the product remains in the original
window. This warranty extends only to the original purchaser
of the product.
This warranty shall not apply to any of the parts that
have failed due to accident, negligence, alterations,
misuse, abuse, improper handling, installations, or
maintenance. Failure to follow instructions for operating or
installing the product, loss of color intensity due to
exposure to the sun over a long time, exposure to salt air,
or normal wear and tear will also void this warranty.
Woodland Blinds’ obligation
under this warranty shall be limited to the repair or
exchange of any parts or components that may prove defective
in normal use within the life of the blind. Woodland
Blinds reserves
the right to inspect any product or component prior to
repair, replacement, or refunding of the purchase price. In
no event shall Woodland
Blinds be
liable for transportation costs to Woodland
Blinds. Woodland
Blinds will
not be liable for cost of removal or re-installation of the
product, or incidental damages.
To obtain service under this warranty, contact AffordableWindowShades.com by
phone at (888) 660-2546 or by fax at (877) 684-6188 for
replacement or to request a return authorization. The
original purchaser shall be responsible for the
transportation cost of the product to Woodland
Blinds. Woodland
Blinds will
pay for shipping the product or replacement back to the
original purchaser anywhere in the continental United
States.
No agent, representative dealer, or unauthorized employee
of Woodland
Blinds has
the authority to increase or alter the obligation of this
warranty.
Changes,
Cancellations, and Refunds
Because our products are custom made to your
specifications, they are not suitable for resale in the
course of normal business. Cancellations or changes can only
be made before production has begun (usually the next
morning after an order is placed).
Color Disclaimer
Variations in color, grain, texture and warpage are natural
and should not be considered to be defective. Over time, the color will soften
in the sun to a mild, golden tone. Finish edges of the bamboo and large reed may
crack after cutting and assembly due to the inherent property of natural
material. We recommend that multiple shade orders of the same pattern be placed
at one time.
• Measuring Instructions
Measuring Instructions
Guidelines For A Perfect Fit
- Measure each window individually, as size variances are common.
- Record width first, then height (also referred to as length) to the nearest 1/8".
- Measure width from left to right, height from top to bottom, using a steel tape measure. Do not use a cloth tape.
Horizontal Blinds and Shades
Cellular Shades, Pleated Shades, Natural Shades, Roman Shades, Roller Shades, Solar Shades, Wood Blinds, Faux Wood Blinds and Horizontal Blinds
Inside Mount
- Inside mount blinds and shades are installed inside the window casing. Minimum depth requirements vary by product and headrail type. Detailed information can be found under the "Specifications" tab on all product pages.
- Measure the exact inside width of window casing from one inside edge to the other in three different places. Record the narrowest measurement.
- Measure the exact height in three different places from top edge of opening to top of sill. Record the longest measurement. Solar Shades should be measured at the top only.
- Do not take any deductions for clearance. The factory will take necessary deductions for a perfect fit.
- Measure the window diagonally in two places, as shown. If the diagonal dimensions are not equal, we recommend an outside mount application for optimal function and aesthetics.
Outside Mount
- Outside mount blinds and shades are installed outside the window casing, covering an area larger than the window itself.
- Measure the exact width to be covered. Be sure the measurement overlaps the window opening by at least 1-1/2" on each side (3" total overlap) to ensure light control and privacy.
- Measure exact height to be covered, including desired overlap (typically from top edge of molding to bottom edge, or to top of sill if there is one).
- The factory makes NO allowances on outside mount.
