Great shades if you want it dark by chaneden from Springfield, VA

These shades are awesome if you're looking for seriously room darkening shades. Other than a very thin bit of light coming down both sides (which would be unavoidable with any type of shade), even in the middle of the day the rooms are very dark. Pitch black at night. Although some are harder to pull down than others (we got the no strings type) and one has some wrinkles in the fabric, I would absolutely recommend them.

I ordered samples over a month ago and have still not received them nor any communication from the customer service dept, even with me trying to contact them several different times. Having good customer service is a top priority when I choose a company to deal with. Looks like I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Good value! by Kris from Illinois

While the room darkening shades work extremely well, I found that the end caps on the shades kept falling out - very annoying. I have been forced to glue them on to keep them from getting lost.

All cellular shades except Vuthru
Width
  • Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.
  • Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: If the window opening is 72", it might be helpful to order 76". This will provide 2" coverage on each side of the window.
  • There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
  • Fabric will be made at ordered width and headrail will be ordered width plus ¼"
  • Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement.
Height
  • Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom.
  • We recommend adding about 3 or 4 inches to this number to insure maximum light gap coverage and to cover the window completely.
  • Please be sure to know that the height measurement will always include the headrail. Example: if the height ordered is 50" this will be the height including the headrail (from the very top of the headrail to the bottom rail).
  • You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8"

  • There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
  • Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
  • Headrail will measure ordered width plus 3/8".

  • You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
