Solar dual shade



I ordered another Solar Dual Shade with the manual pulleys. My wife and I really love the look of them(inside mounted)! They fit well when given the measurements. My only really compliant is the screws that come with mounting the clips need to be Phillips head because the hex heads with standard slot in the middle makes it very hard to secure correctly. my 1/4in bit won’t fit when the screws gets close to the slot(outside of removing the springs and plastic locking piece). The metal is cheap with the groove not deep so it strips easily when hand tightening. I ended up using extra screws I had laying around luckily that were the same length and diameter width.

Not Great



The 5 star review on here had purchased the motorized and continuous cord lift styles. I purchased the cordless lift type, so this is that review. Although the headrail fits perfectly into the window, the headrail has some kind of cassette on the top which causes a large gap on both sides (to even it out I guess). The sides aren't really "finished" so it pretty much looks tacky. I bought a side continuous cord lift for one of three window, which looks nice. I bought two cordless lift styles after that (at the same time) for windows in the same room. Yuck, buyers remorse for sure! They aren't cheap, so I wish I'd spent my money on something nicer. Installation was a pain! These are my 5th and 6th shade installs, so not operator error. Why every shade has different hardware style is a mystery to me. As an aside, both the cordless lift types came with damage, so they're getting remade. Oh goodie.

Not really impressed



The blinds are bound on both ends with hot glue. For my particular set, they arrived with both end caps popped off because the hot glue didn’t hold. I am not a fan considering two blinds were $300. Cheap construction, flimsy design and lazy assembly. Wouldn’t buy again.

One of the Best Upgrade Solutions in my Home



In my Traditional-Modern home, I have a huge picture window (81” height). I purchased the Solar Dual Shade, Shady Gray, inside mount, motorization with remote. I was hesitant about the stripes, as it seems stylishly modern. But when fully lowered it appears more solid, and when fully lifted it disappears into the housing. The partway lift exposing the stripes takes a little getting used to, but the eye is drawn through the slats to the outside. Color matches the free swatches. The construction seems good. Motor is quiet. Motor is recharged via cord from the top housing to an outlet. Not wanting to get a ladder every time to recharge, I keep the top end of the cord plugged into the housing and it hangs hidden behind a side panel drapery ready to be plugged into the outlet when needed. Inside mount fits well (I used a laser distance measuring tool and followed the Select Blinds guidelines). Had some trouble installing the housing to the brackets—it needs a good hard push to clip it in. Mounted the remote bracket in a handy place. The remote was frustrating to program. I ended up resetting the motor and have no programs set. I keep the shade all the way up or all the way down. And if I want a little light, I press the up button to the desired spot. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It’s one of the best upgrade solutions in my home.
