This blind is great, it took me a little while to figure out raising and lowering but after a while figured it out. I would recommend this blind and the price is fantastic.

Like blinds, but...

The hole where the cord comes out crimps the pleat. Wonder how this will affect the longevity of the blind? I purchased another shade from you a while back and it does not do that. I should have notified you of this, but a lot has gone on with us lately...we have evacuated for Gustav and Ike in the last 2 weeks. In fact, we are still away from home because of lack of power and services in our town (Orange, Texas)

after two times, I love the blinds

The problem I had was the help and recommendation from your rep who I feel mislead me in choosing two sets of cellular blinds. I of course wanted my bedroom to be room darkening, but she said it would be "Like a morgue," and not using my common sense, I chose regular, but they almost lit up the room twice as bright as our old verticals. Wish the reps were a little more knowledgeagle.

Measuring Instructions for Pleated Shades

Width

Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
Take the smallest of the three measurements.
Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
*Headrail will be made 1/4" less than width ordered, including endcaps. Fabric will be made 3/8 inch less than width ordered.

Height

Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three places.
Take the largest of the three measurements.
Write down that size making sure that it is the second number of the measurement. This is the height you will order.

*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8"

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.
Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement.
Fabric will be made at ordered width and headrail will be ordered width plus ¼".

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.
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"
