Hi... what is the height of the top RAIL only for "bottom up" shades? Not the height with the shade raised... but what is the height when it's up there by it's lonesome? Thanks!
Asked by Tracy J ·
Hi Lucy, it is 1 7/8"x1"

I WANT TO MOUNT YOUR SHADE OVER A CEILING SKYLIGHT. IT WILL NEED TO RUN IN A TRACK THAT SURROUNDS THE WINDOW. WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM RAIL? WHAT IS THE THICKNESS OF THE SHADE AND RAILS WHEN COLLAPSED?
Asked by DENNIS D ·
Hi Dennis, unfortunately our products are not made to be supported in a skylight. The rails are 2" x 2" and the stack heights are between 3" and 4 5/8" depending on the length of the shade. I will caution that this shade will not be covered by warranty if used in a skylight.

I have irregular angled windows, will these binds work?
Asked by CHRISTOPHER C ·
We cannot trim to custom shapes, only to custom sizes. You could work with a customer service representative by emailing [email protected] and we can get a little more specific on the windows and tell you any suggestions we have.

I want to mount this on an interior door with glass panes. It is my office(with door always open) but doubles as a guest room so a shade is needed for company. Was going to order shade to cover all glass. Will the ivory linen or ivory oxford offer the most privacy. Or neither? Thanks, Cathy
Asked by Cathy ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Pleated shades will not give you the privacy you want. The better option is cellular shades. Pleated shades have only 1 layer of fabric, cellular shades have at least 2 layers of fabric. With cell shades you can see shadows but not details. Pleated shades are basically see-through.

Hi, I'm confused by the 2 statements listed for depth when doing an inside mount on the bottom up top down pleated shades. Your specifications section says: Minimum depth required for inside mount: 1 1/2" Depth required for inside flush mount: 2 3/8" What is inside mount vs. inside flush mount? I have enough depth for the smaller number, but the larger number would hit my window crank. Thanks.
Asked by Terry W ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Minimum depth to get the shade mounted inside the window is 1 1/2" (just enough to get 2 screws in the brackets). Some of the shade will extend outside the window with this option. Flush mount (every part of the shade inside the window) requires 2 3/8".

Are these pleated shades full privacy, particularly at night. I want light filtering, but I don't want them to be sheer/see-through during the day or at night.
Asked by Barbara B ·
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, these fabrics do not offer full privacy. The Pleated Shades (first category on the pleated shade page) have a blackout liner option but they are not available as cordless TDBU. Cellular Shades offer more privacy because they have at least a double layer of fabric (pleated shades only have 1 layer of fabric). The light filtering fabrics will allow in light and you may be able to see shadows at night with a bright light. The blackout fabrics are completely opaque.
