I'd like to purchase But change the Side Mounts to (Ceiling Mounts) Thank you...
Asked by Gilbert G ·
Hi Gilbert! If you’d like to mount the shade to the ceiling outside the window frame, just select “Outside Mount” when customizing your shade before adding it to your cart.
Answered by Blindster ·
I'm very familiar with (inside mount & outside mount) yet this roller shade will be mounted on a beam. Which wording would I use for this type of mounting? I'm thinking an inside mount But the screws will go into the Top
Asked by Gil G ·
Hi Gil! It’s a bit tricky to say for sure without seeing the beam you’re mounting to. Would you mind sending a photo to our Customer Service team at www.blindster.com/contact-us? We’ll take a look and give guidance based on your setup. For a helpful visual, check out the installation manual here—page 2 shows it without a cassette valance, and page 8 shows it with one: https://cdn.blindster.com/site/uploads/products/roller-shades/deluxe-blackout-fabric-roller-shades/documents/BLN-DBFRS-install-instructions.pdf

On the preview for the reverse roll, it appears that the white backing is on the room facing side. Can you confirm that the reverse roll fabric will face towards the room and white will only be on the back/window side?

Does the motorized version need to also have a valance to cover the mechanism or does it come with the valance?
Asked by Doug S ·
Hello Doug, thank you for your question! It is possible to order the shade as motorized but have no cassette valance covering the roller and electronic mechanisms. If you choose motorized, this does not mean a valance will come with it, so you will want to choose cassette valance when customizing your roller shade if you prefer that look.

How do I order for right lift position rather than left?
Asked by Jim C ·
Hello Jim, thank you for your question! While customizing the details of your product, you will choose left or right lift position in Section 4 called "Lift Type". Within that section, first choose which lift functionality you'd like, such as a Nylon Beaded Chain or a Metal Beaded Chain. Once you select one of those options, you will see the box asking you to choose the "Lift Position", meaning the chain will be on the right or left side of the shade. Please let us know if we can assist with anything else!

I also wondered how well the blackout material holds up to very strong sun for the majority of the day.
Asked by Kathy ·
Hi Kathy, thank you for the excellent question! Our blackout shades are designed to handle direct sunlight, and many customers use them successfully to block strong sun. However, like any material, prolonged exposure to extreme heat can have an effect over time. For longevity, we recommend good ventilation and avoiding extra heat buildup from surrounding curtains or drapes. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Is the material used on the black blackout covering completely black on both sides of the window covering?
Asked by Kathy ·
Hello Kathy, thank you for your question! The street-facing or outside side of this black blackout shade is white. If you'd like to take a look at the back side of any product, you can click on the color of your choice, then select the "360 View" to spin the shade around and see other angles!
