Q:
Can you tell me how many ladders there will be if I need blinds that have width between 33" to 36". I am considering both the tapered 2" faux blind and the 2.5" faux blind. A:
The ladder spacing will vary by product, manufacturer and window blind size. The number of ladders is determined by the weight of the blinds. For example, larger blinds become heavier and require more ladders. Faux wood blinds weigh more than wooden blinds requiring more cords to support them.Here are the ladder spacing charts for some of our most popular 2 inch and 2 1/2 inch faux wood blinds.
