Hi, can these have both the top down & the bottom up at the same time? Or only one at a time? Thanks
Asked by Chris ·
Hi Chris, you will be able to operate the top-down and the bottom-up independently from one another, they can both be adjusted at the same time. Thank you for your interest!

I received a sample of your no tools cellular shade. Is this the actual size which is 1/2" stated in your details section? This does not measure 1/2 inch on my ruler.
Asked by Dorothy M ·
Hello Dorothy, thank you for your question! The cell size refers to the "peak to valley" measurement of the cell. (This is approximately half the cell if looking at the side profile.) The measurement from peak to valley should be approximately 1/2". Please let us know if you have any further questions, we'd be happy to help!

Can I stick on to a metal doorframe above the glass area, and will the blind hang down correctly?
Asked by Pop ·
Hi Ruth, thank you for your question! Yes, as long as there is not any trim protruding out around the glass, these will hang down without any interference.

What percentage of privacy are these? ex 100% for blackout.
Asked by Blondine M ·
Hello Barb, thank you so much for reaching out! These do not have a percentage that they give. If you are looking to block more light coming through the material we would recommend looking for a darker colored shade. Darker colors will allow less light to come through where as the lighter colors will let more light in.

I am considering ordering the no tool installation blinds for the bedroom which is ground level. Will this provide the privacy that I need being on the ground floor? Thank you.
Asked by Mary H ·
Hello Mary, thank you for your question! Yes, these shades will give you privacy. You are not able to see through this material. You may see shadows at night if the lights are on, but you would have to be right up against the shade.

I have a large picture window with 2 smaller windows flanking it on each side, all within the same main frame. If i want to order one larger shade for the center picture window and 2 smaller shades for the outside windows and hang (inside mount) with approximately 1/4" between them will they function properly and independently? I don't want one large shade for all 3 sections if possible.
Asked by Chuck ·
Hi Chuck, yes, you would be able to do that. When placing multiple shades in one window opening make sure that all 3 widths add back up to your overall width of the window opening and label them each as an inside mount. Proper deductions will automatically be taken off each of the widths to allow them to fit side by side, as tight as possible, without the fabric rubbing together in the middle. You can expect a gap of about 3/8 - 1/2" between the headrails and fabric on either side of the middle shade. There will be about a 1/4" gap on the left end of the left shade and the right end of the right shade.

I want to install these behind vertical blinds that span an entire wall of a room. I know it sounds weird, but I like to open those blinds completely, yet be able to have some privacy on certain windows behind it. I would like to know what the minimum clearance needed is from wall out, if I had to install one of these as an outside mount.
Asked by Claudia A ·
Hello Claudia, thank you for your question! When installing as an outside mount, you will need at least 1" of flat surface to mount. The depth of these shades from front to back is 2 1/16". Please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales if you need further assistance. We'd be happy to help!

Can these blinds be installed in a sky light?
Asked by Patti ·
Hi Patti, No, we do not offer any products that can be installed in a skylight. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Answered by Blindster ·
Why can't I get these in less that 18 inches width?
Asked by Alyson ·
Hello Alyson, thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately, we are not able to build these shades less than 21" wide. Anything less will start to mess with the cordless top/down bottom/up mechanisms and will not work properly. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hello. Just to clarify, these brackets can be installed on the inside of the window frame?
Asked by Candie ·
Hello Candie, that is correct! When selected as an "Inside Mount" the brackets that are sent will be configured in a way that will allow for you to "ceiling mount" inside at the top of the window opening.
