Does anybody know if the white blackout cellular blinds blackout the light 100% because i'm not sure if I should get the white or not since they're white and if they won't block out the light fully
Asked by Michelle ·
Hi Michelle, the blackout fabric that we use will have a Mylar lining on the back that will prevent any light from coming through the fabric itself. You will not be able to see through or have any light come through the White, the shade will be grey to the exterior.

Can you tell me why these are not recommended for sliding glass doors? Does that include all cellular blackout shades, or just this particular one? Also, if I need to hang two, side by side, to cover a 144" opening, would I order two, 72" W shades, or take a deduction for clearance between the two? Thank you for your help!
Asked by Diana ·
Hi Diana, thank you for reaching out! These are not our #1 recommendation only because when you raise them all the way up there will be a stack that hangs overhead. It is just a clearance issue that customers would need to be aware of when they go in and out of the door way. Luckily, cellular shades compress a good deal so the stack height is usually not too big. When ordering multiple blinds or shades to go inside one window opening, you will want to make sure that your measurements add back up to the overall width. Inside mount deductions will be made automatically on our factory's end, you will not need to make any adjustments.

I bought a similar shade under the brand name DEZ Furnishings and I think it is also sold at Home Depot under the name Perfect Lift. How close would these shades match the Dez Furnishings White Blackout Cellular Shade in white that I have now?
Asked by John G ·
Hi John, I am sorry, I am not familiar with DEZ Furnishings and the shades that they offer. We do offer free samples of these shades and we'd be happy to send out a swatch. It will be a small clipping of the actual shade so you can get a good idea of color and quality. https://www.blindster.com/samples.php?action=product_samples_page&cat_id=5&prod_id=745

Do you make your own deductions for inside mount width or do I need to do that when I order?
Asked by Erica ·
Hi Erica, thank you for reaching out! On an inside mount, we will automatically take those deductions off the ordered width. Width deductions on this product are approximately 3/8" - 1/2" to allow space for proper operation.

Hi, I'm wondering what the difference is between cordless blackout shades cellular shades vs. premium blackout cellular shades with safetylock cordless option?
Asked by Emily ·
Hello Emily, thank you for reaching out! The main difference will be the style of cordless system that these use. The SafeLock Cordless will have a button that depresses down in order to raise and lower and the Cordless Blackout does not have that button and will just raise and lower with pushing and pulling the bottom rail. Other differences include colors and some differences in size restrictions. Please give us a call at 888-256-8672 or email us at [email protected] if you'd like further details!

The Blindster Cellular Measuring PDF shows: Cordless Blackout Single Cellular: 1 3/8", 1" for inside flush mount. I only have 1" depth from the window to install flush mount, which is what I want. Is that precise?
Asked by Jeremy ·
Hello Jeremy, thank you for your question. This product actually has a minimum depth requirement of 1 3/8", meaning that the window depth has to be at least 1 3/8" deep just to have the bracket installed. A full flush mount will require 2 1/8" of depth.

Hi, I would like to know the difference between single and double cellular blinds. I need blackout shades. Does double have a significant difference over single? Why would I order one over the other? Thank you.
Asked by Marilea Q ·
Hello Marilea Q., Thank you for your inquiry! All blackout shades have an R-value rating of 5.0. The look between a double cell and a single cell shade will be different due to the pleats being larger on a single cell. I would recommend getting some free samples to really see the difference. The colors are different in both categories as well. It is also important to note that the blackout double cellular shades are not available with a cordless lift type.

I have a couple double windows that are a total of 78 and 1/2 inches. I noticed sometimes there is an option for a single rail and double blinds but I do not see the option on this product. Is that correct? I wanted to get Dove Grey
Asked by Kyle ·
Hi Kyle, thank you for your interest in Blindster! You are correct. Some of our cellular shade products will offer what is called a 2on1 headrail where you can operate 2 separate shades on one headrail. Unfortunately, this does not apply to our cordless cellular shades. You would want to order 2 separate shades and just install them side by side. We do offer shades in our Premium categories that will give you the 2on1 headrail option. f you need further assistance please call us at your convenience. We are in the office 8a-7p CST Mon - Thu and 8a - 5p Fridays. 1-888-256-8672

What does "Upscale cordless lift system" mean? I ordered cordless shades from a different supplier and they don't hang straight. The supplier says it's because there's only one lift mechanism in the center of the headrail and it's a know issue with the construction of the shade. Do these have a cordless motor on both the left and right side so the shade hangs straight?
Asked by Nathan ·
Hi Nathan, thank you for your inquiry. These shades are going to have a cordless motor mechanism on both sides of the headrail.
