How to cut and install Allen & Roth cordless faux wood blinds from Lowes

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Tommy shows you step by step how to cut and install Allen + Roth cordless, faux wood, trim at home blinds from Lowes. Many of us have windows that are not a size that blinds come pre-cut in. Lowes will not cut these for you but you can cut them at home using a miter saw fairly easily. These blinds are half the cost of the blinds that Lowes does cut for you.

    After you shorten the blinds according to the height of your window, there is a bit of a gap at the bottom. I guess it is a design flaw.

    Wait...shouldn't you split the difference between the 2 sides so your strings are centered after its hung up??? Seems like if you lop off the entire measurement on just one side...When you hang it up the 3 draw strings will be farther to one side and not centered in the window???

    You are correct. He did cut equal amounts on each side. We just showed doing one side to shorten the video assuming people knew that it had to be repeated on both sides. If we ever do the video again, we'd point that out.

    Hmmm. I wonder why? You grab the bottom and pull down. If that doesn't work, you may have bought a defective blind. We actually bought and installed a window recently that wouldn't open. It happens.

    @@TexasHomesteaders Thank you for your response. I had to pull the blind down much, much harder and it came down. I was afraid of pulling too hard and bringing down the whole blind, but it needed to be pulled down hard. It's supposed to pull down easily with little pull, but it doesn't. Have a nice day. 🌞❤

    It would have been more helpful if this was done by someone who didn't appear to be doing it for the first time. Why cut all on one side rather than trim half off each? Apparently, you can't just put the valance clips anywhere. Why not measure or eyeball the clip placement before installing the blind? Why did the blind need to be removed in the fully open and awkward position rather than in the closed position?

    He wasn't doing it for the first time. He was doing a video like that for the first time and it tends to make some people nervous. He did cut off both sides. Sometimes video editing cuts things off that shouldn't have been cut off. We assumed people would know you can't just cut it all off on one side and make it lop sided. Common sense and all. If you think you can do a better video, have at it bud.
