I need to cover a window in a door. do you have bottom shade holders and do I add size for mounting?
Asked by Jared ·
Hi Jared, thank you for your question. Yes, we do offer hold down brackets as an option with outside mount applications. You will be able to make this selection in the customize and buy section of the ordering process. Measure the width and the height of the area you want to cover. There are no deductions on outside mount and your size will be what you order so make sure to add a little more for the width and the height. A couple extra inches at the bottom should work just fine. If you have any further measuring questions please reach out to us at 888-256-8672, option "2" for sales, we'd be happy to assist you further.

I want to order the premium light filtering double cell shades with inside mount for a 71" high window. Can you tell me what the approximate stacked height is? Are there any issues with sagging on the wide a window?
Asked by Matthew L ·
Hi Matt, thank you for your inquiry. On a 71" high window you are looking at a stack height of about 2 3/4" for standard lift cord and about 3 5/8" if you choose on of the other lift options.

We are looking for pleated or cellular shades for our windows with an inside mount. Our windows are cantilever style with a hand crank at the middle bottom inside of the window frame. How does it affect how we measure? And can we still use top down/bottom up style? Thanks!
Asked by Greg ·
Hello Greg, thank you for your question. You will want to make sure you have enough depth at the top of your window openings. You need a minimum of 3/4" for these cellular shades and a minimum of 1 1/2" for our cordless top down bottom up pleated shades. Flush mount for both these shades types is 2 3/8". It might be best for you to give us a call in at the office so that we can get a picture from you to help really access the situation to see what kind of depth there is at the top and what kind of depth there is at the bottom (if any). If the handle comes all the way to the front of the window opening, it might be best to measure for the height right above the handle. With these being cordless though, you can always simply raise the bottom rail to where it hovers above the handle that way as well. Top down/bottom up style may be a possibility, if the depth is there, because you are only installing at the top of the window opening even with this lift option. Our phone number is: 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales.

I am not sure if I need light filtering or blackout. I have a south facing office that gets sun all day through the windows for which I need shades. My computer monitors face away from the window (i.e. if I look at my monitor, I am also looking out the window). Will the light filtering remove the direct sunlight enough that I can utilize my monitors in this configuration, but allow ambient light in for non computer tasks. Also, do you make a motorized unit that can be controlled over wifi.
Asked by Richard ·
Hello Richard, thank you for your question. Yes, a light filtering shade should filter the light enough for you so that you do not have direct sunlight coming through. Also, the darker the color shade, the less light you are going to have come through. I would recommend getting some of our free samples to see which color is going to work best for you. Unfortunately, our motorized shades are not wifi compatible. They will operate via remote control that will come with your order.

Which is less stark white, snowflake or altamont?
Asked by Shawn ·
Hello Shawn, thank you for your question. There is VERY little difference between these 2 colors and are both a bright white. I would recommend getting some of our free samples mailed to you to help see which shade would work best. Parchment might even be what you are looking for.

What type of cleaning recommendations do you have?
Asked by Casey ·
Hello Casey! Basic cleaning would only require you to dust these cellular shades with either a feather duster or by using a brush attachment on a vacuum and lightly going over the fabric that way. This is made up of a polyester fabric and so harder stains/spills can be treated using a damp cloth. You would not want to submerse these shades in water, the fabric would lose it's pleats.

Do these blinds mount the same as Bali blinds?
Asked by Justin ·
Hello Justin, thank you for your interest in Blindster. These shades are easy to install and will come with their own installation brackets that can be mounted either to the top of the window frame for inside mount or above the window frame to the surface for an outside mount (depending on which way you measured). Some lift types will have the option for side mount as long as the shade is under 48" wide. Please feel free to give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for sales, we'd be happy to give you more detailed information.

Do the Deluxe Motorized Light Filtering Cellular Shades offer nighttime privacy, aka, can someone see into the house through these shades at night with the lights on inside?
Asked by Colleen M ·
Hi Holly! Yes, these cellular shades will offer you privacy. You can not see through this material. Light is the only thing that you will be able to see through these shades. You will not be able to see inside the house.

What will happen to cellular shades in south facing windows over time? We live in Colorado where sun rays are strong in the summer and have caused other blinds to yellow.
Asked by GARY ·
Hi Kathleen, thank you for your question! Our cellular shades are made with a durable non-woven 100% polyester fabric. Polyester fabric will hold its color in order to resist fading.
Answered by Blindster ·
hello, we are considering these shades, however we would like to know if they are prone to mold on the back?. Our current cellular shades got mold on the back. We have gotten new windows, and are not sure how much moisture there will be and if these type of blinds will be prone to mold or mildew.
Asked by MBauer ·
Hello MBauer, Thank you for your question. You'll want to take care to not get these shades wet if left in moisture mold and mildew could happen. Faux Wood Blinds would be what we would recommend since this product can withstand moisture the best and are easier to clean.
