Is this blind better than aluminum mini blinds?

Aluminum blinds are stiffer and resist creasing better. This polyester blind is lighter, quieter and a simpler budget choice for small windows.

Will it fit a 36-inch window?

It is made for a 36-inch-wide window, so measure the glass or frame opening first. Inside mounts need a little clearance for the brackets.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

Yes, the blind ships with basic brackets and screws for an inside mount. Check the box for the chain tension device, which is required for cord safety.

Can I shorten the length?

The 64-inch length can be trimmed at the bottom, but removing slats means restringing the ladder cords. It is easier to choose the right size up front.

Is black a good choice for a bedroom?

Black blocks glare and suits dark decor, but it shows dust and does not darken a room like a blackout shade. Pair it with curtains if you need full light blocking.
