Fabric privacy liners and black out roller blinds both can be purchased on homedepot.com.

A:  no, so it has a much sleeker look

Refer to Step 3 - Figure D of the Use and Care Guide located here;: http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pdfImages/5b/5b0fe829-a073-41ae-9955-2b9296848d52.pdf. Best wishes on your project.

A:  These blinds are designed to be used on windows, not doors. It is impossible for me to answer your question because I do not know the construction of your door, and exactly where you would best mount the hardware. Visit your local store and talk to one of the people in the window coverings department.

For any other questions, please call us at HomeDepot.com Customer Service 1-800-430-3376. Thank you for shopping Home Depot.

A:  It depends on the specific width of the window. If you accurately measured the inside of the window frame at 35.5 inches, a 36 inch blind would be exactly 35.5 inches, since most blinds manufacturers give themselves a 1/2" shorter width assuming you are mounting them inside the frame, which is common. Joseph

A:  I would definitely stick with the 35 inch.

A:  No .
