Hi, Is the "Moonlight" color a white color? Or does it have a blue hue to it?
Asked by Yvonne B ·
Thank you for your interest! Moonlight is the whitest white in this category. However, it does have a bluish tint.

I see that the "Premium Blackout Single Cellular Shades" come in some pretty light / off-white colors. Do these lighter colors still provide a room darkening effect one would expect for "blackout shades".
Asked by Jay ·
Thank you for your interest! Yes, the fabric in these shades blocks 100% of light, regardless of color. This is true of any fabric (or liner) that we label as blackout on our website. Please keep in mind that you will have some residual light that will filter around the edges of the shades. Especially if you mount them inside the window. To get the best coverage, mount the shades outside the window (above or to the sides).

If I buy the cellular shade - premium single - how far down is the drop when the shades are up. My window is 46W and 45 1/4" long
Asked by Julie A ·
Thank you for your interest! The stack of the shade when it is fully closed will be approximately 1 1/4" for a standard shade, 1 1/2" for a corded Top Down Bottom Up Shade or 2 1/8" for a shade with the cordless lift system or the continuous cord loop systems.

I notice that these blackout single-cell shades have the same quoted R value (5.0) and light blocking (99%) rating as the "Premium Blackout Double Cellular Shades" that are offered for a higher price. Do both these shades really have the same insulating and light blocking properties despite one being double-celled?
Asked by Dustin ·
All blackout cellular fabrics have a quoted R value of 5 no matter whether they are double cell or single cell. The fabrics will be completely opaque. However, there will be some light that comes in around the edges depending on how you mount them (reason for 99% light blocking). For an inside mount the fabric will be 1/2 inch less than the ordered width, so you will have a 1/4 inch gap on both sides. For outside mount the fabric is made to the exact width ordered. Making them wider than the window will reduce light that seeps in from the window opening to create a "halo" effect.
