Can I Order Blinds for Very Small or Narrow Windows? (Solving the “13-Inch” Challenge)

The Challenge: “My Window is Too Small!”

We recently received a question from a customer who was struggling to find a solution for a specific need:

“I’m looking for a light weight blind to cover a 13-inch solar light. I need to get less light at times during the day. What can you suggest?”

If you have ever tried to buy blinds for a narrow window, a sidelight beside a door, or a small skylight, you know the frustration. Most standard blinds on Amazon or big-box stores start at 20 inches or 24 inches in width. Anything smaller is usually unavailable.

So, is it possible to get blinds for a 13-inch window?

The Answer: Yes, With LazBlinds Customization.

Unlike mass-produced brands that rely on fixed molds, LazBlinds offers true customization. Because we manufacture our own products and developed our own no-drill structure, we have the flexibility to accommodate unique sizes that others ignore.

Here is how we solve the “Small Window” problem:

1. Precision Sizing (Down to the Inch)

We can craft blinds for windows much narrower than the industry standard. For a 13-inch space (like the one covering a solar light or a small bathroom window), our custom production line can adjust the roller mechanism to fit perfectly without being bulky.

2. Light Control: “I need less light at times”

The customer mentioned needing to block light specifically during the day. For small windows, you generally have two great options:

• Blackout Fabrics: Perfect if that “solar light” or sunbeam is causing glare on your TV or waking you up. It blocks 100% of the light.
• Light Filtering: If you just want to soften the harsh glow without making the room pitch black.

3. Weight Matters

For small windows, you don’t want a heavy, clunky blind. Our LazBlinds No-Drill Roller Shades are designed to be lightweight. The tension mechanism holds firmly even in small frames, ensuring the blind doesn’t slide down—a common issue when trying to hack a standard blind to fit a small space.

How to Measure a Small Window for LazBlinds

Measuring a small space requires precision.

1. Measure the Width: Measure the inside width of the window frame at the top, middle, and bottom. Record the narrowest measurement.
2. Measure the Depth: Ensure you have at least 2 inches of depth for the no-drill mechanism to expand and lock.
3. Contact Us: For extremely small sizes (under 15 inches), we recommend contacting our support team directly before ordering. We can double-check the specs to ensure a perfect fit for your unique “micro” window.
