Will a remote from Blinds.com work on your motorized shade
Asked by Patricia ·
Hello Pat, thank you for your question! I'm sorry, no, a blinds.com remote will not work with these shades. The remote we offer for this product would need to be purchased with the shades in order to operate.

Do blackout curtains let any light bleed through the top, bottom, or the sides of the shades? Is "outside mount" recommended to minimize the light bleed through? If I order the "outside mount", does it block 100% of the light, or will light bleed through the sides, top, or bottom?
Asked by David ·
Hello David, blackout fabric blocks virtually all light from passing through the shade, however some light may still be visible from around the perimeter of the shade. Ordering as an outside mount does help the light from bleeding through the sides but you will want to make sure to measure At Least 2" wider and 4" higher than the size of the window opening to help eliminate that light. We cannot guarantee it will block 100% light seepage but it will be close.

will be ordering blinds ( one first to see how they work) which mounting is best for blackout shades? inside or outside mounts. Thank you
Asked by Lee S ·
Hello Lee, thank you for your question! The blackout fabric will block virtually all light from passing through the shade, however some light may still be visible from around the sides of the shade. Because of this, ordering as an outside mount and ordering the shade larger than the window opening will help eliminate that light seepage from the sides. I'd recommend adding 3"-4" to the width and height to help ensure light is blocked.

How resistant to water (rain) are these? Some of our blinds will be installed behind casement windows. On occasion (and by error) the blind might be down with the window open and thus, be exposed to rain.
Asked by Doug P ·
Hello Doug, thank you for reaching out! These shades are not water resistant and the fabric could eventually begin to mold. A more water-resistant product such as fauxwood might be more suitable.

Asked by Dani ·

Hi M, We do not have the option of top-down bottom-up with motorization at this time. Only the standard bottom up.

What does fraction mean
Asked by Tiffanche S ·
Hi Cherre, We do customized treatments so we suggest ordering the shades to that nearest fraction needed. Please give us a call if this answer did not help so that one of our representatives can give you more details.

Are the motorized shades able to be operated both bottom up and top down?
Asked by SC ·
Hi SC, We appreciate you reaching out. Our motorized will only do the standard where the bottom rail goes up and down. No top-down options.
