How Wide Can Window Blinds Be?

If you’re wondering what the standard size of window blinds is, the standard window length is 36 to 72 inches, and the standard width is 24 to 60 inches. Window sizes and shapes, on the other hand, can vary greatly, particularly in older homes or homes with custom windows.

It’s a good idea to measure the width and height of your window so you’ll know how much area you’ll be covering with the hidden blind. In addition, you’ll need to take into consideration the depth of the blind; that is, how long the cord will be.

In addition, please do note that the stated sizes of window blinds are the ideal measurements, and the actual size of your window shades would be a little smaller.

The Parts of Window Blinds:

  1. Panels: The panels are the individual pieces of a vertical blind that separate them into sections. It’s important for you to choose your panels carefully so you can find one that showcases your style and matches well with your room.
  2. Lining: The lining is the material you choose to give a window shade a finished look, from behind. Lining fabrics can include linen, cotton, velvet, and more.
  3. Header: The header is the part of your vertical blind that will be attached to your window frame and is what the slats of your blind slide up and down on.
  4. Bar or Cord: The bar or cord are the strings used to raise and lower your vertical blinds.

Installing blinds is a straightforward process that can be done in the afternoon or evening depending on how much effort you want to put into installing them. The sketch below provides step-by-step instructions that should help you get started.

Cord Connector Box: This is a mounting device that keeps track of all your cords and helps ensure they are not tangled or crossed up in the process of hanging your window shades.
  7. Tilt the Wand: The operation of a tilt wand is the decision to alter how much light crosses through a window by tilting the shade.
