Do the bamboo shades fit completely under the valance when fully raised?
Asked by David ·
Thank you for your interest! Not usually and it varies based on the height of your shade. A general stacking formula for bamboo shades is: Add 7" for headrail plus 1" for every 10" of shade height. The valances are 7".

If I do an outside mount, will I see an unfinished edge from the side?
Asked by Diann F ·
Thank you so much for your interest! An outside mount blind will come with returns to cover the side of the headrail. Returns are narrow pieces of the bamboo fabric that attach to the side of the headrail with Velcro.

I'm looking for roller shades with built in insulation to keep warm air in during winter, and hot air out during summer, Will Bamboo work for that?
Asked by Martha h ·
Thank you for your interest! Natural bamboo materials are only made as roman shades, not roller shades. There are roller shade fabrics that are made to look like bamboo fabric (Premium Woven Wood Fabric Roller Shades in our roller shade section). However, solar shades are usually used to insulate and control light. These shades offer light control but still allow you to see your view outside. However, it also allows you to see inside when the lights are on at night. Honeycomb cellular shades are the best product for insulating against outside temperatures. However, you cannot see through cellular shades. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more information.

I have a "double window" approximately 72 inches wide. Do you make a 2 or 2 1/2 inch faux wood blind that wide or is it best to have two 36 inch blinds?
Asked by Donna C ·
Thank you for your interest! Yes, our 2" Deluxe Fauxwood Blinds, 2" Premium Fauxwood Blinds and our 2 1/2" Premium Fauxwood Blinds are available in widths over 72". Our 2" Super Value Fauxwood blinds and our 2 1/2" Deluxe Fauxwood Blinds are available up to 72" wide. 72" will be a fairly heavy fauxwood blind. However, horizontal blinds are really made to be tilted open and closed. As long as you don't lift the blinds often you should be OK. Putting 2 blinds in the window does give you the option to open only part of the window. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you want to speak with a sales agent.

Does light come through the privacy liner?
Asked by Kasey ·
Thank you for your interest! Privacy liners will let some light through. However, they do provide complete privacy. Shadows may be visible at night with bright lights inside the house with the more open weave bamboo fabrics.

How are the Roman Shades raised and lowered without a cord?
Asked by Dianne ·
Thank you for your interest! The cordless roman shades are raised and lower by moving the bottom of the shade to the position you want (there is a handle). There is a pully system on the back of the shade that operates the cordless mechanisms.

I ordered shades and the width I gave was 57 3/8 the shade came at 57 1/8 making it very difficult to install from the sides as the brackets are 1/16 and the nuts stick out 1/8 each. Math does not work. I would have expected the shade width to be 56 7/8. Not real happy.
Asked by Tim ·
I'm sorry you are having a problem. Bamboo shades are normally mounted to the top (inside mount) or back (outside mount), not to the sides. Please call 888-256-8672, option 2 for customer service. I don't have enough information to contact you. One of our customer service agents will see what we can do to resolve your issue.

Are these for exterior use?
Asked by Beth ·
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, these shades are not for exterior use. The fabric for this product is made of natural reeds, grasses and bamboo. They simply won't stand up to exposure to the elements. The only exterior products we have are under the Exterior Shade section at https://www.blindster.com/exterior-shades/. These are solar shade fabrics that are designed to reduce light, glare and heat or cold.

Who picks the color for the binding? I would like to have the option to choose it myself, but can't find any place on the website that offers a choice of binding colors.
Asked by Linda P ·
Thank you for your interest! You pick the color of the binding. When you choose that option as you order the shades you will see the colors and choose. If you want to see samples of the bindings, just call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales.
