What is the difference between an inside and an outside mount?

An inside mount means that the blind is mounted on the inside of the window opening. Depending on the manufacturer, a depth of 1-1/4" to 3-1/4" is required. Review the product specifications before ordering. An outside mount should be used when there isn't enough depth to mount the shade. For example, shallow windows such as sliding glass doors and some wood cased windows will not allow ample room to mount the product on the inside.

What type of valance should I choose?

For inside mount blinds, your blinds will come with a matching faux wood valance that fits flush against the blind inside the window. When choosing an outside mount, the side of the blind head rail will be covered by a valance return. You may also choose the option of an inside mount blind with an upgraded outside mount valance.
