My neighbor literally has a very bright light that shines into my bedroom. Would this help?
Asked by Marie ·
Hi Marie, We appreciate you reaching out. The fabric itself is blackout so no light will come through the fabric however you may have light leaking around the edges.

Would these shades work on Tilt & Turn Windows? I'm assuming i would need to inside mount so that the brackets stick directly to the glass. Is that right?
Asked by Lori F ·
Hi Lori, thank you for your inquiry! It doesn't look like an inside mount application is going to work on the Tilt & Turn style windows since yes, as an inside mount, the brackets would stick inside the window opening at the top. You do have the option with these to do an outside mount though and have them installed above the window opening so that it doesn't interfere with the opening of the window. Please feel free to give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales, and we'd be happy to discuss further details with you.

I want to order a shade for a window that is 58 1/4" wide. Will it come with more than 2 adhesives to hold in the middle or can I order more with my order?
Asked by Kathy C ·
Hello Kathy, thank you for reaching out! Yes, a shade this wide will receive 4 adhesive brackets.

Can the No Tools blackout shades be installed on a door? and how much clearance do I need - they will fall between the glass of the door and the door handle. Also,I guess it would be considered an outside mount, since the door is flat?
Asked by Carolyn ·
Hi Carolyn, thank you for your question! Yes, you will be able to mount these on doors. You would need to order these as an outside mount. The bracket will need to be mounted at least 1" above the frame. Be sure to take into account the flat mounting surface area when measuring the area you want to cover with your shade. When mounted, the shade will come out into the room 2".

how thick are the adhesive strips? is it possible for a double install say in regards for blinds and blackout shade?
Asked by Nicholas ·
Hi Nicholas, the adhesive strips themselves are about 1 3/8" from front to back. However, for this product you will need 2" of depth for it to be fully flush inside the window frame. In a lot of cases, you would be looking at needing at least 5 1/2" minimum to install 2 separate window treatments in one opening. You would be able to do an inside mounted shade with an outside mounted blind as an alternative option as this cellular shade can be flush mount with only 2" of depth.

Asked by Karen S ·

I was thinking of purchasing the inside mount, no tool blinds and want to make sure I measure correctly the first time. All three measurements are 69" inches, 1/2 fraction Width without rounding any inches, and 70" inches Height. Should I order that exact measurement?
Asked by Mandy ·
Hi Mandy, thank you for your question! Yes, order that exact width, including the whole number and the fraction just how it shows on the tape measure. With an inside mount, we will make those inside deductions for you to make sure that it fits in the window opening properly. Order your height the exact height as well.

Do cellular shades hold up over time as well as or better than fabric roller shades? How does this shade stay in the "up" position?
Asked by Alisha E ·
Hi Alisha, thank you for your inquiry! Both of these have the capability of lasting a long time, it will depend on how they are handled through the years, consistent/daily use is a must to keep these shades operating at their best. Both the cordless cellular shades and the cordless roller shades use components that can easily be trouble-shooted to self correct any raising or lowering issues. If insulation is a concern, I would recommend these cellular shades over the roller shades as they have an R-value of 5.0. The shades stay in the up position using spools inside the headrail that wind up the internal cords that run through the fabric and create tension.
Answered by Blindster ·
When fully raised, what is the height of the headrail plus retracted blinds.
Asked by Ron ·
Hi Ron, thank you for your inquiry! It would depend on what the height of the shade is. The headrail alone is 1 7/8" tall, so most fall in the 3 - 4" stack range when fully raised.
Answered by Blindster ·
do the no tools blinds come in different colors and sizes?
Asked by ROSARIA J ·
Hi Rosaria, thank you for your question. Yes, this product does have a range of colors to choose from that you are able to select from. We can also make these in a wide range of sizes from 19" - 72" wide and 24" - 84" high.
