Add-on Blinds FAQ

Are custom sizes available?

Custom sizes are not available. However, ODL Add-On Blinds are designed to fit standard 1/2-view and full-view door windows as well as select sidelights.

What happens if I get condensation on my door glass after ODL Add-on Blinds?

Interior condensation is caused by excess humidity in your home. ODL Add-on Blinds do not cause condensation, but are a good indicator of humidity levels that are too high. The following is a quick guide to appropriate humidity levels:

Maximum recommended humidity levels
(based on inside home temperature of 70°F)
Outside temperature °FInside humidity
20°F to 40°FNot over 40%
10°F to 20°FNot over 30%
0°F to 10°FNot over 25%
-20°F to 0°FNot over 20%
Below -20°FNot over 15%

If your door glass has interior condensation, you may remove the filler strips on each side of the frame to facilitate air circulation. Alternatively, you might choose to reduce the humidity level in your home (by, for example, reducing or eliminating humidifiers). Condensation does not indicate a defect in an Add-On Blind unit and will not damage it.

What sort of regular maintenance is required for Add-On Blinds?

Hardly any at all. ODL Add-on Blinds are captured behind glass to eliminate dusting, tangled cords and damage to blind slats.

Can the frames of Add-on Blinds be painted?

Yes, the frame can be easily painted with acrylic latex enamel paint.

Do ODL Add-on Blinds come with a warranty? How do I make a claim?

Add-on Blinds feature a 5-year warranty. Any claims should be submitted in writing within 30 days of discovering the defect. Mailed to:

Are ODL Add-on Blinds easy to install?

Yes. These door blinds install over existing doorglass and are designed for quick and easy installation.

How can I clean the glass on my Add-on Blinds?

You may want to take the door blinds treatment down once a year to clean the glass; simply unlatch the clips (pivot outwards) to remove. The Add-on Blinds glass can be cleaned with a quality window cleaner and the frame can be cleaned with a mild soap and water.

How do I select the correct size Add-on Blinds?

Measure the outside glass frame dimensions on your steel or fiberglass door and select the correct size, depending on if you have a raised frame door or a flush frame door.
