description
VuThru Room Darkening Insulating Blinds are the horizontal alternative for any room where light blockage is necessary or preferred. These insulating blinds offer the same energy saving benefits of a classic honeycomb cellular shade with the conventional look and operation of a horizontal blind. The vanes open and close to create several innovative views. Expanded vanes offer complete privacy, energy efficiency and hidden lift cords. Compressed vanes provide variable light control and substantial view through. VuThru Insulating Blinds come standard with a continuous cord loop that allows for easy and smooth operation as well as a limited lifetime warranty.

I love these shades and the operation of them. I can have them open or closed, just like a horizontal blind but with the look and feel of a fabric shade.

Risky but worked for us by Janet C from Seattle, WA

I was very nervous ordering these because they are some of the most expensive shades on the site, and the "Risk Free Trial" page has "VuThru not included" for anything other than shipping damage or defect.<br><br>They are well made, look nice on the window, but were a bit hard to install. Mine was a large window, so the piece was heavy to hold and maneuver into the clips. Definitely order samples -- at least on my screen, the samples looked quite different from the site pictures.<br><br>They darken the room well, but are not blackout shades. The hinges for the cells let a bit of light through at night. The blinds they replaced were not total blackout either, so this was fine for us.

  • Take the smallest of the three measurements.

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"
