Great shades for the price. They have a very clean look with no hanging cords and I was able to mount 3 of them side by side with almost no gap in between. You can not see though them for privacy but they still let light though during the day. Great shades for the price.

You can mount your blinds to the trim as long as it is flat and meets the minimum requirements for an outside mount. Mounting on the trim of the window is the easiest route because all you need to collect is the size of the trim dimensions.
Should blinds rest on window sill?
In most cases blinds look and work the best when they rest on the window sill. No one is ever going to notice extra 1/2″ of length and this keeps them from blowing in a slight breeze. If you prefer for the blinds not to touch the windowsill, you should deduct 1/4″.
