I would like to mount this shade as an outside mount on a metal and glass door. There is a lever handle the shade bottom rail would need to pass behind. What is the depth of the shade bottom rail?

How far down can the blinds be lowered going from the top down? Some competitors I've seen are limited to opening the top 30% of the blinds.

Hello, does the surface to mount the blinds inside have to be completely flat? I'm just a little worried because the inside of my window frame is not completely flat and I bought already. Thank you.
Asked by Paul T ·
Hello Paul, thank you for reaching out! Preferably, the surface would be completely flat. However, a little bit of texture (such as drywall texturing) may be fine. Please reach out to us if you have any additional concerns. We'd be happy to help.

I am renting and would like to know if the mount can be removed (i.e. end of lease)?
Asked by CM ·
Hello CM, thank you for your question. Here are our instructions for removing the no tools brackets. This product is meant for permanent application, but it can be removed. Because this is a permanent adhesive, damage to the mounting surface the object is mounted to is a distinct possibility in the removal process. Expect that some patching and refinishing of the surface will be required. To remove the brackets, insert a knife above each mounting plate and cut the foam tape between adhesive surfaces using a sawing motion. A thin wire, or dental floss can also be used to cut the tape. Hold one end of the wire or floss in each hand; bring the wire or floss between the mounted surfaces and using a sawing motion, cut the tape in half. Remove the remaining material from the surface with your fingers or scrape it with a putty knife. The use of citrus solvents may soften the adhesive to aid removal. Do not expect citrus solvent or other solvents to dissolve the adhesive as acrylic adhesives do not dissolve in solvents.

What are the dimensions of the adhesive bracket strips? Will they work for an inside mount in a casement window with 7/8"?
Asked by Pattii M ·
Hello Pattii, thank you for reaching out! The No Tools brackets will unfortunately not work with 7/8" depth. You will need at least 2 1/8" of depth. This is the depth of the adhesive bracket (front to back). The strips are about 5" wide.

Inside window frame depth is 1" will this be enough for an inside mount of these shades?
Asked by Sarah S ·
Hello Sarah, thank you for reaching out! No, this will not be enough depth to be mounted inside the window. This product requires at least 2 1/8" of depth.

I have inside tilt windows. Can I attach this the window frame/sash rather than the casing around the wind and have them work?
Asked by Kim ·
Hello Kim, thank you for your question. I do not believe I would recommend this type of installation. Several factors to consider are, you'll need to make sure that these do not get mounted to glass, the sun will break down the adhesive if it is exposed. You will want to have a smooth surface on the metal frame that is at least 1" tall. When you tilt in the windows the shade will need to be fully raised and supported on the way down since gravity will be pulling these a different way and the stack will have no way of being suspended.

How do we clean these windows? Are they suitable for kitchen?
Asked by Nsultana ·
Hello Nsultana, thank you for reaching out! These cellular shades can be cleaned gently with a feather duster. They can also be spot treated using warm soapy water and a washcloth. You do not want to saturate the shade as this can release the pleats.

I would be installing in my unfinished basement windows - would the adhesive pad have strong enough adhesive stick when being applied directly to the concrete casement/sills?
Asked by Sharon J ·
Hello Sharon J., thank you for reaching out! Yes, just make sure to use the alcohol pad provided to make sure that the surface is clean and allow enough time to dry completely.
