description
The 1/2" EcoTrack Single Cell Blackout Shades system maximizes the energy efficiency of the single cell blackout cellular shade by closing the gap between the side of the shade and the window. The new EcoTracks are attached to the window casings with magnets and can be easily removed for window cleaning. The newly developed clear edge seal is placed between the shade and the track to help create a tight seal. The dual seal system helps to minimize heat loss and save energy dollars. Just as zippering an open coat in the winter makes a big difference in blocking out the cold, the EcoTrack maximizes the energy savings value of a cellular shade by blocking the air gap. As with all of our products, these shades come with a limited lifetime warranty.

  • Take the smallest of the three measurements.

       o Fabric: 1 1/8" less than width ordered.

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"

VuThru Shades
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 36", it might be helpful to order 40". 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.
  • 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".
  • Fabric will measure ordered width.
Height

  • 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.
  • Headrail is 2 1/8" in height.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8"
