Can these blinds be mounted to the ceiling, and 2 blinds side-by-side? I need blinds to cover 2 tall floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall sliding doors. There is also a built-in valance at the top that is about 5 inches from the top of the door.
Asked by Donald K ·
Hello Don, thank you for your question! Yes, you can top mount these shades and will have the ability to mount side by side. Please keep in mind that the gap between the fabric of the 2 shades will be about 1 1/2", though the brackets will butt side by side. The depth required for the inside flush mount is 3" if you order without the cassette valance and 3 1/4" if you order with the cassette valance. Please give us a call at 888-256-8672 if you'd like to discuss further details. We'd be happy to help.

Is it possible to order DIY replacement parts for these roller shades?
Asked by Vicky B ·
Hello Vicky, thank you so much for reaching out! Unfortunately, we do not sell just components, it will be the entire shade.

Can these be installed inside a window, behind a weaved roller blind already in place? Need room darkening for south/ west/east facing bay window where I already have a weaved roller shade. The window depth is very deep.
Asked by Rosemary ·
Hello Rosemary, thank you for your question. You would need at least 3 1/2" of depth behind your current window treatment in order to fit the roller shade behind. As long as you have this depth, it should work.

When ordering motorized shades for 10 windows, I see that I can add up to 6 shades to 1 remote. So, do I need to purchase just two remotes total for this? Or do I need to add a remote to each window when selecting the options?
Asked by Kel ·
Hi Kel, thank you for your question! Yes, 2 remotes are all you would need to operate 10 shades and you can program each of these shades on its own channel.

How many shades with motorized operators can be independently controlled? Is any kind of automation of shade control available, such as opening and closing based on time of day and year, or opening and closing based on sunlight intensity and interior temperature? My solar heating windows get very hot--do these shades, motors or batteries have an upper temperature limit? For example my temporary taped on shades will not stay up because the tape adhesive melts.
Asked by Lockem ·
Hello Mike, You will have 6 channels on your remote and can program up to 20 shades on each channel. No, we do not have automation control on any of our products or a temperature gauge but I have them installed here in Texas and they get hit hard with the heat and work great!

Hi there. Do these have a smart home feature? I have 8 windows in my bedroom and the last thing I want is 8 different remotes! LOL I would love to say "Alexa, open the blinds" first thing in the morning, though...
Asked by Leah H ·
Hi Leah, thank you so much for reaching out! I'm sorry, these do not have a smart home feature to them. The remote, however, can program up to 6 shades per remote.

Can this be mounted to the ceiling?
Asked by Helen ·
Hello Helen, thank you for your question! Yes, these brackets can be turned so that they can mount to the ceiling. I would recommend adding a cassette if you ceiling mount. This will help eliminate the light gap you will have at the top since the roller will be suspended down from the brackets and will cause a small light gap. If we can assist you further please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales.

Are batteries in motorized shades rechargeable or easily replaced? If they are rechargeable , what is the process and if they are replaceable, again, what is the process and what size batteries do they require?
Asked by Bryan ·
Hi Bryan, thank you for your question! These motorized shades will come with a rechargeable integrated battery wand that will be placed inside the roller tube. To recharge the shades you will connect the AC Charger (provided with your order) to the Charger cable attached to the motorhead. A full charge will take about 8 hours.

Hello, I purchased the motorized premium filtered roller shades and am trying to figure out how to program the remote with the shades. Based on the instructions (PDF file) provided on the website, it says to program it to channel "0" but there is not a channel "0" on the remote. Then when i'm looking through the Blindster website for further help, I see that they state there are 6 channels and its pre-programmed on channel "6." Again, when I tried following the original PDF instructions, it still doesnt work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
