I'd like to order 3 of these to cover our large sliding glass door. Prefer to do an inside flush mount, we have exactly 2 1/4" depth on wood frame. Will these roller shades work or is there another option?
Asked by Jim ·
Hi Jim, thanks for reaching out! If ordering these shades without a cassette, you'll be able to mount these shades in there just fine, but they will stick out about 3/4 of an inch. You need 3" of depth to flush mount these, 3 1/4" if you are ordering them with a cassette. Please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales there may be a way for our Super Value Roller Shades to work if you install them as a top mount, but we would need to know your dimensions to be sure.

Are these shades fire proof?
Asked by Michelle d ·
Hello Michelle, thank you so much for your question! These shades are not fire proof, they are however, fire retardant.

I've purchased "blackout" shades in the past but they've all still let in light. Are these 100% blackout? Would the fabric ones offer more or less light block? Looking to put in a photography darkroom.
Asked by Allison ·
Hello Allison, thank you for your question! This material is 100% blackout. However, as an inside mount, it is still possible for light seepage to happen around the sides of the material. If light seepage is a concern, it is recommended to order and install as an outside mount.

For roller shades - what are the pro/cons between fabric and vinyl?
Asked by Denise W ·
Hello Denise, thank you for your inquiry! It would all depend on what you are looking for that would determine some of the pro/cons. Some of the differences between the two is going to be the texture. There is going to be more more of a woven texture with the fabric, giving it a little more detail than maybe what the vinyl would. While roller shades in general are very easy to clean, vinyl would have the slight edge due to its slick material. Our vinyl shades are all black out where as the fabric can be light filtering, room darkening, or blackout depending on what you are looking for. They also offer different color selections in each category. I would recommend ordering some of our free samples to help determine which shade would work out best for you.

Are the roller shades only available in 8 colors? I'm looking for a burgandy or maroon.
Asked by Denise C ·
Hi Denise C., thank you for your inquiry! We do not have that specific color in a blackout. We do offer a "room darkening" color called Red Velvet that might fit your needs. It is not a complete blackout, but it will block the majority of the light, we recommend ordering a free sample to see if this will fit your needs: https://www.blindster.com/roller-shades/room-darkening-roller-shades/

I need a blackout shade to cover three side-by-side windows nestled in an alcove. The width would be 114" and the length would be 80". Is it possible to get a shade that wide? I was looking for a beaded chain pull. I'd consider motorized but I'm curious about how to recharge a unit that wold be mounted nine feet off the floor! Thanks.
Asked by Peter M ·
Hello Peter, thank you for your inquiry. You would not be able to order the blackout vinyl roller shades, they do not go that large. Our black out solar shades are an option. The largest size we can make is 114" wide and they can go to 84" long when at that width. It would be a heavy shade and I'd recommend splitting up the size if you can for longevity purposes, but the size can be made. You would not be able to order this size as motorized, it would come with a beaded chain. https://www.blindster.com/solar-shades/blackout-solar-shades/

Is this actually 100% vinyl? I am looking for blackout roller shades for my baby's room that are not made of fabric. I would like to be able to clean the shades with a damp cloth and would not like to deal with fabrics that retain dust.
Asked by Michelle S ·
Hi Michelle, thank you for reaching out. This is a fiberglass reinforced, 4-ply vinyl roller shade. You will very easily be able to wipe these shades down with a damp cloth to clean. We also offer free samples of the material that we would recommend you take a look at before the order just to make sure this shade material will meet your needs.
