I wold like to use a transformer to provide 18v power to the shades to eliminate periodic battery changing. Is that okay? What is the amperage draw for the motor?

I have a front window that I would like to put cellular shades on, but I need to put three shades on one headrail due to the structure of the window. I would also like it to have an inside mount, top down bottom up, and have it cordless. Is there such an option?
Asked by Londa W ·
Hi lswalker, we would recommend doing three separate shades and butting the headrails together. This is a better option, as with multiple shades on one headrail, you have to send the entire piece in for repair if something goes wrong with just one shade, whereas, in separate shades you just send the individual shade with damage in. This will also allow you to do Top Down Bottom Up cordless whereas multiple shades on one headrail would not.

Does the premium cellular shade extend the entire height of the window? I've not seen any photos with it fully covering the windows. We're in Florida and may need that at times. Thanks, Jan
Asked by Jan ·
Hi Jan, yes, they do extend the entire length of the window.

I want to order Premium Light Filtering Double Cellular Shades with an exterior mounting. I want to mount the shades so that they clear the entire window when up. What is the ratio between the shades open to shades closed dimension. There must be a ratio that works for any length;
Asked by Valued C ·
Hi Mike, the question isn't quite clear, are you asking the stack height of the shade when completely pulled up? Please give us a call and we can answer any of these questions for you, we just want to ensure we're giving the answer you need.

How do I measure for outside mount patio door. Would they go vertically?
Asked by Joan B ·
Hi Joan, these do not move vertically, only horizontally. But you would measure from the top of the area you want to cover, to the bottom and for width you would measure edge to edge for the area you want to cover. Then depending on the product you are choosing, you'll need to add anywhere from 1"-3" to the height. For these, we typically recommend 1"-2" to the height.

My apt. LR has a window that faces east. It is approx. 47.75w x 46.5h and 4" deep. It is divided into three sections, 23/47/23, with the two smaller sections sliding open. During the summer, 7:00-12:30, the sun comes in and bakes the place. I am looking for the best type of blind/shade to keep out the heat. The overall consensus that I have been given is: three inside mount, single cell shades on one header with a continuous loop lift cord. What is your take on all of this?
Asked by David L ·
Hi David, for heat reduction, we recommend any of our cellular shades. You can look in the product details (the tab next to the colors tab when you scroll down the page) for the R-Value. The higher the R-Value the more insulating that specific shade is. We do not recommend multiple shades on one header, because if one gets damaged, it's easier to take one down rather than to take all three down because they're on the same headrail. We recommend butting the shades together but allowing room for the shades themselves not to rub together when raised or lowered. Any lift option is your preference.

I am trying to remove one of my cordless cellular shades from the mount because of a faulty retracting mechanism. The shade is down and won't go up and I need to take it off to take a picture of it for replacement. I am havin a lot of trouble getting the blind off the mount and any suggestions would be really helpful thanks
Asked by Sage R ·
Hi Sage, gently push backwards on the headrail to see if you can get the headrail to release from the front grooved part of the bracket. If you are still having issues, please call us and we can walk you through getting them uninstalled in this state.

The shade will be mounting above the window frame not between. Is there a valance available to hide the the roll..
Asked by Clarence ·
Hi Clarence, these do not have a roll, just a headrail. This headrail is color coordinated to the shade.
