Will this fit a sliding glass door?

At 70 inches wide and 64 inches long it is sized for wide openings such as sliding doors, but measure your frame first. The blind mounts at the top and hangs down, so the drop must clear the floor or door track.

Can I shorten the length?

The blind is sold at a fixed 64-inch length. Shortening polyester mini blinds usually means removing slats and restringing, which is fiddly and voids the clean factory finish.

Is it safe around children and pets?

It uses pull cords, so keep them out of reach and use a cord cleat. Cordless or motorized blinds are the safer choice for homes with young children.

Dust the slats with a microfiber cloth or vacuum brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately so the polyester does not warp.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

Achim includes the basic brackets and screws for a standard inside or outside mount. Check your window type, since some frames need different anchors.

How does it compare with faux-wood blinds?

It is lighter and simpler to hang than faux wood, but the slats flex more and look less substantial. Faux wood holds up better in humid rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.
