Window Treatment Questions

#1 Post by Driver08 »

I am struggling with a window treatment issue in my home. I have gotten a quote to install Restoration by Alside replacement windows. However, the dealer has informed me that my plantation shutters & custom wood blinds will no longer fit inside the windows after replacement is complete. His solution was to install them on the outside of the window openings rather than on the inside on the sheetrock reveal / return area where they are currently installed.

As you can imagine, I am not a big fan of this installation method for the window treatments. Are there any solutions to this problem other than buying all new blinds & shutters? Would new construction / remodel window installation work better than a replacement window install? Can the existing blinds / shutters be altered in some way to fit inside the window opening?
