What Are Outside Mount Blinds?

If you’re looking for privacy and light control, then outside mount blinds are a great option! The thing is, many people are not quite sure what the difference between the outside mount and inside mount blinds is, and some people may not even know that there is even such a thing as outside mount blinds! This mounting method is revolutionary and allows for styles and placements of window treatments that would otherwise be impossible!

Definition of an Outside Mount Blind

Outside mount blinds are blinds that are mounted outside of the window frame. The name is rather self-explanatory, but as to why you would mount your blinds outside of the window frame vs inside is not so simple. Most of the time, people prefer to mount blinds inside of the window frame, as this is the more traditional way and keeps you from having to drill into other parts of your wall. But sometimes, there isn't enough space inside of the window frame for the window treatments that you want, so outside mount blinds are the only choice in this case. But, there are many other perks that come with outside mount blinds, and they have several advantages over their inside mounted cousins.

Benefits of Outside Mount Blinds

The largest benefit of outside mount blinds is that there are almost no space limitations. With inside mount blinds, you are restricted to the dimensions of your window frame. This works well for many people, but sometimes you may want larger window treatments or have to deal with very small window frames. This is where outside mount blinds shine, as you can mount them to the wall above the windows instead, giving you as much space as your wall has to offer.

With this extra space, you can create astounding visual effects with your window treatments, being able to create luscious cascades of gorgeous fabric. This mounting style also ensures that all light is blocked, as they surround the window frame entirely and prevent any light from leaking. This makes outside mount blinds perfect for rooms where you want stunning visual effects or complete light leakage elimination.

Outside Mount Blind Styles

Every kind of blind that you could mount inside the window frame, you can mount on the outside just as well! Though, large and flowing styles of blinds are by far the best to mount outside, as the extra space and additional fabric will create gorgeous visual effects and lets the fabric of your treatments really shine. Options like Luminette® Sheer Panels, Cadence® Vertical Blinds, and Somner® Vertical Blinds from Hunter Douglas are some of the best options for beautiful outside mount blinds.
