Manufactured housing types behind the measurements
HUD-code manufactured homes, older mobile homes in land-lease parks, and modern modular installs share shallow frames and non-standard widths — measure every opening before ordering from a builder-size chart.
- Single-wide (14'–18' wide): narrow horizontal sliders in living area, small bedroom casements — custom widths common
- Double-wide: paired modules with wider living-room slider — often 68×84 or 78×84 vertical territory
- Park-model and RV-adjacent units: very narrow openings — vinyl mini almost always
- Modular on permanent foundation: may use production-builder modules on newer installs — still measure
- Shallow vinyl jambs (often under 1½"): outside mount or vinyl mini inside mount when depth allows
- Replacement windows from park renovations change specs unit to unit in the same community
Products manufactured-home orders use most
Custom-cut vinyl mini leads narrow openings. Vertical covers living sliders. Faux wood upgrades when depth allows.
1" vinyl mini blinds — custom width
Exact-fit bedrooms and baths — the manufactured-home default.
3.5" vertical blinds
Living-area sliders and patio doors — 68×84 and 78×84 sizes.
2" faux wood blinds
Living-room upgrade — often outside mount on manufactured trim.
Typical opening → blind size
Typical width bands on manufactured homes — always measure your exact opening first:
| Opening (approx.) | Order size | Room |
|---|---|---|
| 22"–28" | 21.5"–27.5" | Small bedroom / bath |
| 30"–36" | 29.5"–35.5" | Primary bedroom |
| 48"–60" horizontal | 47.5"–59.5" mini or vertical | Living area slider |
| 68" × 80" patio | 68" × 84" vertical or roller | Rear patio / deck door |
Mounting by material & situation
Manufactured frames are built for speed, not deep returns — outside mount on the trim face is common when inside depth fails.
1" vinyl mini blinds
View product line →The default on manufactured-home bedrooms — custom width to the exact opening, cordless lift, slim headrail for shallow jambs.
Inside mount — when depth allows
Some newer manufactured vinyl windows have roughly 1" clear depth. Measure both top corners — frames are not always square after transport and set.
- Min depth:
- ≈ 1" clear
Outside mount on shallow frame
Pro often usedWhen the jamb is too shallow or the header is a thin vinyl strip, face-mount on the trim with 1½" overlap per side. Use screws into solid framing behind the vinyl — not into hollow trim alone.
- Min depth:
- N/A — mounts on trim face
2" faux wood blinds
View product line →Living-room upgrade when depth supports it — outside mount is common on manufactured stock.
Outside mount on living-area windows
Pro often usedMost manufactured living-room openings cannot inside-mount 2" faux wood. Face-mount on the flat trim board is the standard approach.
3.5" vertical blinds
View product line →Horizontal living-area sliders and rear patio doors — face-mount track above the header.
Living-area horizontal slider
Pro often usedMeasure exact glass width. Face-mount track above the frame — standard on double-wide living areas. 68×84 and 78×84 stocked pairs cover most modules.
When to hire a pro on manufactured homes
Long living-area sliders, outside mount on thin vinyl trim, and double-wide center seams push many owners toward a local installer familiar with manufactured framing. We custom-cut to your measured width and ship nationwide from Texas; professional installation is available in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro only.
Frequently asked questions
Will standard 34.5" builder blinds fit my manufactured home?
Usually not without measuring. Manufactured homes use factory modules with widths that often fall outside the production-builder chart. Measure each opening and order custom-cut blinds to the exact width you need.
What blinds fit a double-wide living room slider?
Measure the exact glass width and height. Many double-wides need 68×84 or 78×84 vertical pairs or a custom-width roller. See our patio slider guide for vertical vs roller decisions.
Do you ship to mobile home parks?
Yes — we ship nationwide. Provide the home address, lot number, and any gate or office delivery instructions when ordering to a land-lease community.
Inside or outside mount on a manufactured home?
Check depth first. If you have under 1½" clear return, plan outside mount on the trim face — especially for faux wood. Vinyl mini may inside-mount when roughly 1" depth is available.
