IMPORTANT MEASURING TIP: If either No-Drill Blinds Headrail option is chosen, take all three standard width measurements (top, middle, bottom) to check for variance, but be sure to input the exact measurement of the top of your window frame into the width field. Compare the three measurements, and if the variance between them exceeds 1/4", No-Drill Blinds Headrail may not fit properly.

The No-Drill Blinds Headrail and Built In No-Drill Blinds Headrail options are only available for Inside Mount, and require 2 1/2" of depth to install. They are not recommended for use with PVC or metal window frames.

Factory will deduct approximately 5/8" off the width of the No-Drill Blinds Headrail, and 1/4" off the width of the Built In No-Drill Blinds Headrail.

No-Drill Blinds Headrail is only available in the color white and will be visible after installation, with or without valance. The Built In No-Drill Blinds Headrail is fabric wrapped to match the material of the shade, and is not visible after installation.

All shades ordered with the Built In No-Drill Blinds Headrail will have a small amount of excess fabric on the side of the shade to cover the locking mechanism and minimize light gaps.

Fabric color can vary from one dye lot to another. To ensure that all materials are from the same dye lot, please order shades for the same room at the same time.

Always lift and lower cordless products with both hands to avoid unleveling and the need for re-leveling.

Material will always cover a portion of your window, even when fully raised. Please call in for considerations.

Deductions may vary +/- 1/8". Do not account for factory deductions when measuring for your shade. Deduction information detailed in the table below.

Fabric Roman shades may have wrinkles in the material after installation. Most minor wrinkling will smooth out over several days. For quicker results, you can use a garment steamer on the back of the shade, being careful to avoid direct contact with the fabric.

Headrail is fabric-wrapped.

Shade comes standard with no valance and pleated fold.

Fabric will fall over the top of the headrail (waterfall style). Fabric will fall 2+ inches from the wall on outside mount. We recommend 4+ inches be added to the width of your shade when outside mounting to prevent light gaps.

Multiple shade orders of different heights may not have the same size pleats. We recommend ordering all shades using the longest length in the room.

Cordless Roman shades ordered without the 6" valance upgrade include a discreet mini-valance (~2.3" / 6 cm) attached to the back of the shade, designed to conceal the operating mechanism.

Optional liner color or color of unlined shades will be visible from street.

Hold down brackets are not available on this product.

Liners, cord shroud, & rod pocket at the back of the shade are generally a light cream color, which may contrast with darker fabric selections; please consider this when placing your order.

Products ordered without a Blackout Liner will be semi-transparent, and the lift mechanism may be visible through the fabric.
