> In this unique, multifunctional two-in-one shade the top half is constructed out of light filtering fabric and the bottom half out of blackout fabric. Each half operates independently! Separated by a slim rail with a built-in handle, grab hold of the handle and seamlessly raise all the way up to the headrail to have a blackout shade, pull it all the way down to the bottom rail to have a light filtering shade, or keep it in the middle to enjoy the benefits of both.

### Mount

Mount type determines how you will install the blind. Choose inside mount if your blind will be mounted inside the window opening/frame. Choose outside mount if your blind will be mounted outside the window opening to trim, a wall, or a door.

- Inside Mount: Inside mount shades are installed inside the window opening. Enter the exact size of the window opening NOT the size of the shade. The factory will make a small deduction from your width to allow space for the hardware and operation.
- Outside Mount: Outside mount shades are installed outside the window opening to trim, a wall, or a door. Enter the exact size of the shade you want to order. The factory will make no deductions.

### Lift Type

The lift type determines how you raise or lower this product.

- Cordless: Simply grab the bottom rail to lift and lower your blind or shade.

### Door Brackets (Hold Downs) (optional)

Door Brackets (Hold downs) secure the window covering to the wall or to a door, limiting the movement of the window covering. For example when a door is opening and closing. These are for outside mounts only.

- Yes Door Brackets: These are used when outside mounting to a door. The brackets secure the bottom rail of the blinds to the door in order to prevent swaying.
- No Door Brackets: Door Brackets (Hold Downs) are not required for the normal operation of this product.

## Description

Can't decide if you want soft natural light in your room during the day or if you want to block the light completely? Now you don't have to decide – with our unique Day Night Cellular Shades you can have both any time you want. The upper part of the shade has light filtering fabric and the bottom part has blackout fabric that can both cover the entire window opening when desired. Or have each section partially cover the window for the ultimate in daytime light control. Of course you can always open the entire shade all the way to let the light stream in! Included cordless operation is easy, clutter-free and safe for kids – the perfect touch to the perfect combination shade for your home.

Get to know this shade:

- Soft yet durable polyester material is formed into insulating single cell structures with 5/8" pleats
- Two separate, full-size sections of cellular fabric: light-filtering with an R-value of 3.4 and blackout with an R-value of 5.0
- Both fabrics are the same color on the front and back for a consistent appearance
- Fabric is attached to color coordinating PVC rails that have a semi-gloss finish

Why you'll love this shade:

- Day Night Cordless Cellular Shades provide great quality and adjustable light levels – however and whenever you want
- A gentle push or pull on the clear cordless handle raises and lowers each section of the shade
- Insulating energy-efficient material helps keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter
- Certified Best for Kids™ for cord-free, child-safe operation

Key considerations:

- Cordless shades are opened by pulling on the top or bottom of the shade – be sure you can reach the top of your window frame

## How to measure

### How to Measure: Inside Mount

Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:

- Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. The depth at the top of the window must be at least 1 3/8" to mount the brackets. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 2 1/8". If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.

How to Measure:

Let's start with the Width:

- Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right to the nearest 1/8" at three places: at the top of the opening, the middle of the opening, and then the bottom of the opening. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the narrowest. If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering width.

Now, let's do the Height:

- Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.

Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 3/8" to your shade's width to allow room for installation and for proper movement of the shade within the window opening. No deductions will be made to your height.

### How to Measure: Outside Mount

Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 1" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets. The shade can be installed directly above the window opening, or higher up to give the appearance of a larger window and to have more clear space in the window when the shade is raised.

If you have trim around the window, you can mount the shade above the trim, directly on the trim (if you have the required minimum flat space for the brackets), or to the sides of the trim if you do not have enough mounting space above the window or on the trim itself. See the directions below for how you'd like to install your shade.

If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.

#### Above the Window (No Trim)

Width:

- Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
- Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.

Height:

- Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. The shade can be positioned higher up to give the appearance of a larger window and to have more clear space in the window when the shade is raised.
- Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

#### Above The Trim

Width:

- Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2" on either side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance. You can also choose to have the shade the same width as your window trim.
- Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including any desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.

Height:

- Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. The shade can be positioned higher up to give the appearance of a larger window and to have more clear space in the window when the shade is raised.
- Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

#### On The Trim

Width:

- Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. That is your ordering width.

Height:

- Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height.

#### Door Mount

Width:

- Using a metal tape measure, measure left to right from the outside edge of the trim piece that goes around the glass to the other outside edge. That is your ordering width. However, if you have space, it is best to order the shade about 2" wider for better light control.

Height:

- Consider how far above the window trim piece you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Measure down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below the window trim piece as you used above. That is your ordering height.

Note: We carry complimentary hold-downs (door brackets) which can be requested during the ordering process. These should be installed for a successful door mount as they secure the shade at the bottom of the door so that it does not swing when the door opens and closes.

- 5/5, Dan, 2026-08-31: "Blinds installed yesterday and they look great as expected."
- 5/5, Joseph, 2026-08-18: "So far so good. Blinds have been up a few weeks. They do let some light in at the edges but overall the room is pretty dark now."
- 5/5, Walter, 2026-08-05: "I love these shades in my bedroom. I have the option of complete blackout, filtered sun, and unfiltered sun. Blackout is really great for sleeping well during long summer days. Sometimes, I want some filtered sun when the sun is blasting right at my window, but unfiltered sun and the view outside is lovely, too. The way these shades are built, I can have combinations, too!"
- 5/5, Kevin, 2026-07-29: "excellent product"
- 5/5, Charles, 2026-07-12: "I bought day/night shades for my RV, they fit perfect and look awesome, way cheaper than going to a RV store. Shipping was quick and the colors I picked were perfect. Im very happy. Thank you Blindster"
