• Corner and Bay window treatments are made as individual blinds.
Each blind has independent headrail and controls.
Control locations can be on the right or left side of each blind (opposite
corners recommended).
• Identify each window location (left,center and right for bay, left and
right location for corner) and distinguish each blind as bypass or butt.
Bypass is the blind mounted into the corner. Butt is the blind butted up
to the other blind.

• Manufacturer will take appropriate deductions for proper fit. If you do
not want vendor to take deductions, do not order as a bay or corner.
