Fit & Factory Deductions

Recommendations

Good to Know

Fabric slats on the shade are 100% polyester.
Headrails and cassettes are color coordinated with a coordinated fabric insert.
Bottom clearance is determined by adding ½" to the outer cut width.
The safety device is required by law and must be applied on chain loops and prevents free-hanging loops in operating chains. Install the safety device at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism to prevent slack in the loop.

Remote Motorization

For an average-sized shade under typical usage (raising and lowering once per day) the internal rechargeable battery will last around 6 months. BThe battery can be recharged up to 500 times. It takes approximately 7 hours to recharge the motor when fully depleted.
The internal rechargeable battery requires a 5V DC compatible charger, which is sold separately as a charging kit. The kit is available in white only and includes a power block and a 120” charging cable equipped with a USB-C connection. At least one charging kit should be added to your order,
The 5-channel remote can control up to 10 individual window treatments. Motorization lift system upgrade does not include remote. A remote is not required for system operation, but if remote control operation is desired, we recommend adding one remote to your order for every room of shades.
Add a Solar Panel to your order to keep your shades charged automatically, reducing the need for manual charging and battery maintenance. This convenient, energy-efficient option utilizes solar energy captured at the window and offers flexible mounting options. Product specifications and installation instructions are available here.

Measuring

Inside Mount Instructions

Measuring the width

The width measurement is found by measuring the inside of the window frame in three locations – the top, middle, and bottom. Choose the smallest of these measurements.
If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment, round down to the nearest 1/8". (For example, if the smallest measurement is 24 9/16", round down to 24 1/2". If it's 24 3/8", no need to round down.)
And that’s it! That’s the width measurement you’ll use when placing your order for sheer shades.

Measuring the height

The height measurement is found by measuring the inside of the window frame in three locations – the top left, center, and the top right. Choose the largest of these measurements.
If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment, round up to the nearest 1/8". (For example, if the largest measurement is 24 9/16", round up to 24 5/8". If it's 24 1/2", no need to round up.)
And that’s it! That’s the height measurement you’ll use when placing your order for sheer shades.

Outside Mount Instructions

An outside mount is a great choice for better light coverage, since it fully covers the window and frame. To get the right fit, you’ll need to account for a few extra measurements when placing your order. We’ll custom make your shade to the exact dimensions you provide—no automatic additions are made.

Flat Surface Requirements

Start by choosing where you’d like to mount your shade. You’ll need at least 1-2½” of flat mounting space. For more details, check the product page and review the “Specifications” tab.
