Openings in vacation and STR homes

Production homes, cabins, and condos all appear in STR inventories — use the same measure discipline as a primary residence.

  • Living rooms: 46.5"–70.5" common on production stock
  • Bedrooms: 34.5" and 46.5" widths dominate
  • Sliders: rollers or verticals
  • Baths: vinyl mini
  • Lofts / cabins: odd widths — custom cut matters

How to Confirm Your Exact Size

The patterns above are a starting point — your specific floorplan and any builder upgrades can shift them, so always measure. Measure each opening's width at the top, middle, and bottom and height at left, center, and right. For an inside mount, report the exact opening and the factory deducts about ½" for clearance; for an outside mount, add 1.5–2" of overlap per side. Our measuring & installation guide has step-by-step instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What blinds look best in Airbnb photos?

Cordless 2" faux wood in white or off-white reads clean on camera. Blackout rollers in the primary bedroom are a frequent guest review win.

How fast can replacements ship?

We ship nationwide from Texas. Keep your size list handy so you can reorder the exact opening after guest damage.

Should I use real wood blinds in a rental?

Usually no — faux wood handles humidity and guest wear better at a lower replacement cost.
