Headrail
 
2 on 1 Headrail
Question?

Most of our blinds and shades feature a single, sleek headrail for a clean, unified look. However, we offer versatile options to accommodate various window sizes and styles:
  • Standard Single Headrail: Ideal for most windows. Clean, streamlined appearance.
  • Multi-Blind Headrails: Recommended for larger windows. Helps manage weight and ensures smooth operation.
    • "2 on 1" Headrail: Two blinds sharing one headrail
    • "3 on 1" Headrail: Three blinds on a single headrail
These options allow you to customize your window treatments for optimal functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring the best operation and a perfect fit for any window in your home.
Lift Control
 
x Raise and lower your blinds without cords. This upgrade is great for homes with children because there are no dangerous lift cords. Not recommended for sizes wider than 96 inches.
x Make sure to order at least one remote or smart hub to control your motorized shades. One remote can operate more than one shade. Raise and lower your window shades with the touch of a finger. Our remote controlled shades use a radio technology system.
ATTENTION:
x Tilt-Only Operation: Due to the size of this blind, it features slat tilting functionality without lift capability. The horizontal slats can be angled to control light and privacy, but the blind cannot be raised or lowered from the window.
x The wand motorization is ideal for child safety with no lift cords. With the press of a button raise and lower the shades with ease. Simply press and hold the button to raise or lower the shades and release to stop at the desired position. The wand motorization operates with a battery powered motor.

Multiple Blinds on a Shared Headrail
Because large blinds and shades can be heavier and more difficult to raise and lower, the 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail option allows two or three smaller shades to share one common headrail and valance. This creates a cleaner, more streamlined look across wider windows.

A small 1/4" to 1/2" gap between adjacent shades is normal and required for proper operation.

Note: Motorized lift is not available with the 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail configuration.
Cordless Lift
Raise and lower your blinds without cords. This upgrade is great for homes with children because there are no dangerous lift cords. Not recommended for sizes wider than 96 inches.

FAQs: Embassy 1" Aluminum Mini Blinds



What is the size of the headrail?

The headrail dimensions are 1" H x 1 1/2" D



What are the minimum depth requirements for inside mount?

Minimum mounting depth and flush mounting depth may vary by the lift control and other options. Please check our specifications based on your configuration.
Our standard lift configuration has the following minimum mounting depths:
Minimum mounting depth: 0.750"
Minimum flush mounting depth: 1.750"



How fast is production for these Window Blinds?

Production is typically 6-8 Day(s) .



What makes Embassy 1" Aluminum Mini Blinds different?


They’re custom 1" aluminum-slat blinds with an all-metal headrail, a wide color palette, and upgrade options (including cordless and motorization) for an affordable, durable window solution.


What kind of light control do they provide?


Room darkening when closed, with expected light from lift-cord route holes and at the side gaps on inside mounts. Tilting the slats fine-tunes privacy and glare reduction.


What is the slat size and aluminum gauge?


Slats are 1" wide and made from 6-gauge painted aluminum for strength and fade resistance.


Do these include a valance? What does the headrail look like?


They use an integrated metal headrail (no separate valance) for a clean, finished look. Note: PVC end caps can appear white on dark-colored blinds. Also, because of the integrated headrail design, they use hidden mounting brackets that attach from the top rather than sides like traditional box-style brackets.


What sizes can I order?


Width: 7"–112" • Height: 8"–120". Headrail dimensions are approx. 1" H × 1½" D. Minimum inside-mount depth is ¾"; flush mount typically needs 1¾".


Which lift options are available?


Free cordless lift upgrade with wand tilt (recommended within size limits), and motorization (remote/app control; order at least one remote or hub). Wand mortorization is also an option (Operate the shades with motorization using an attached wand control). Cordless is not recommended over about 96" wide. Very large blinds do have an option for tilt only without a lift option.


How do the slats tilt, and what wand length will I receive?


Wand tilt only. Wand length scales with blind height (e.g., ~12" wand on short blinds, up to ~60–72" on very tall blinds) for convenient reach. See wand specifications for exact sizes based on the blind size.


Are the slats the same color on both sides, and will they fade?


Yes, slats are color-matched on both sides and finished with a painted aluminum coating designed to resist fading.


Can I put multiple blinds on one headrail for a wide window?


Yes. 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail options let smaller blinds share one headrail for easier lifting and a unified look. A small ¼"–½" gap between panels is normal for operation.


Where are they made, and do they have a fire rating?


Made in the USA with imported and USA parts. Slats meet NFPA 701 (Test 1, 2004) fire-retardant criteria.


Are there size limits for motorized Embassy mini blinds?


Yes. Motorized versions generally run from about 18"–112" wide and 12"–120" high. Order at least one remote or a smart hub to operate them.


Any tips for measuring and meeting the depth requirement?


Inside mount: measure the exact opening; the factory takes deductions. Ensure at least ¾" depth to mount, and 1¾" for a flush fit. Outside mount: order your full desired coverage.


Are these easy to install?


Yes. Mount two brackets, snap in the headrail, attach the wand, and test lift/tilt. Most DIYers complete an average window in minutes with standard tools.


What warranty or protection plans are available?


The Embassy 1" Aluminum blinds come standard with a 3-year limited lifetime warranty. Blinds Chalet offers optional coverage options with our Guaranteed to Last (5-Year) and Guaranteed to Love (5-Year) on the product page at checkout. See current terms when ordering.


Customer Questions & Answers



Does it provide good privacy and keep the sunlight from getting through?

Asked on Jul 20 2013 by ian
The blinds will still have holes in the slats so you will see light coming in from those holes. Also, if you mount inside you will see light coming in from the sides as well. In the closed position they will provide privacy.

What gauge aluminum are the embassy mini blinds made with?

Asked on May 7 2013 by Bill
They are a 6 gauge.

Are they fade resistant?

Asked on Apr 6 2013 by Vivian Bulebosh
Yes. These mini blinds are made from a painted aluminum slat that will resist fading.

Are the Embassy 1" Mini Blinds the same color on both sides, or are they white on the street side?

Asked on Nov 4 2012 by Nannette Roberson
They are the same color on both sides. We can also send you free samples if you would like to see the material and color prior to placing your order.

I wanted to replace the old heavy dated wooden blinds in my bedrooms. These aluminum mini blinds immediately updated and modernized the look of my windows. There are lots of color choices so it was easy to match my wall paint and curtains. The hanging brackets were simple and I was able to install the blinds myself.
