Dear Sir / Madam. I have French glass doors. Can I do an inside mount? The interior is 1/2 inch width. I’m looking at the cordless blackout cellular shade. The Door glass panel measures 21 wide, length is 79.
Asked by Michael L ·
Hi Michael, thank you for your interest in our shades! For an inside mount, these shades require a minimum depth of 2 1/8". If you don't have the minimum depth, an outside mount may be a better option. If you'd like to discuss your installation in more detail, feel free to contact us at [email protected] or give us a call at 888-256-8672 (Mon–Fri, 8a–5p CST).

Will the bracket stick to a cement wall?
Asked by Rob ·
Hi Rob, thank you for your question! We recommend against installing the adhesive brackets on porous or textured surfaces such as cement. The adhesive requires a smooth, clean surface to achieve the best bond, and cement may not provide the secure adhesion needed. Let us know if you have any further questions!

My width is 70.5”. Do I order 70 or 71”
Asked by Christine ·
Hi Christine, thank you for your question! For an inside mount, we ask that you 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. You can find more details on how to measure in the "How to Measure" section on the page or you can reach out to us at [email protected] or 1-888-256-8672, Mon-Fri 8a-5p CST for further assistance..

Are the no tool brackets just for inside mount?
Asked by Tanya ·
Hi Tanya, thank you for your question! The No Tools brackets can be used for both inside and outside mount installations. For inside mounts, you will need a minimum of 2 1/8 inches to properly install the shades. For outside mount installations, you will need an 1 inch of flat space for the brackets. If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call, start a live chat or send us an email!

Are they magnetic for steel frame mount and do they block all UV rays from entering the room?
Asked by Carolyn ·
Hi Carolyn, thank you for your questions! The brackets for these shades use a strong 3M adhesive. The blackout polyester fabric blocks nearly all UV rays that would otherwise pass through the fabric. Let us know if you have any further questions!

How do you remove the taped brackets?
Asked by Barbara ·
Hello Barbara, thanks for your question! The No Tools brackets are designed for permanent use but can be removed. Since the adhesive is permanent, removal may damage the surface and require patching or refinishing. To remove, use a knife, thin wire, or dental floss to saw through the foam tape behind each mounting plate. Then peel or scrape off any remaining adhesive. Citrus solvents may help soften residue, but they won’t fully dissolve acrylic adhesive.

I want to install this on my sliding glass door. Is it beater to get two blinds or will one work fine?
Asked by Mary V ·
Hello Mary, we would usually suggest 2 shades be installed across a wide application such as this. This helps with shade longevity since sliding glass doors are usually high usage.
