What is available for stopping light from the top of a roller shade? I plan to do an outside mount.
Asked by June ·
Hello June, thank you for your inquiry! These roller shades do have an option to add on a cassette to enclose the roller tube, that will help with light escaping from the top. The best way to avoid light seepage is to add additional inches to the width and height of your opening. In general we recommend adding 3" to the width and 4" to the height of the area you wish to cover. Please keep in mind that roller shade fabrics will be cut approximately 1 1/2" narrower than your ordered width. If you have any further questions on how to best get the coverage you are looking for please feel free to contact us at 888-256-8672, option "1" for sales, we would be happy to go over finer details with you.

Is there a way to lengthen the metal cord? I have very tall windows and will need to have a way to lower and raise them, without having to purchase the mechanical option.

Is there anywhere to see the different types of hems offered. I saw it had an option to pick different types but wasn't sure what to expect.
Asked by Caitlin H ·
Hi Caitlin! The hem styles are located on the main page of the product under the "Product Details" tab if you scroll towards the bottom of the page. They are also on the customizing page under "Hem Style". If you click the link with the i next to it you'll see a drop down of the descriptions of each hem style. Hope this helps.

Will these systems work with sliding glass doors * foot wide and 8 foot tall? If so would you recommend a single 8 foot wide blind or 2 blinds at 4 foot wide to cover the doors? Thank you.

I am looking for blinds that can cover the bottom of the window and leave the top open as an option.
Asked by David J ·
Hi MJ! Depending on how large this opening is you can mount the roller shade with just the roller to the sides of your opening just covering the bottom half if you prefer. If you are looking for a top down bottom up control that is not available with any of the roller shades because of the way they are designed.

Are your motorized shades all battery operated, or is electric and option? If not, what is the expected battery life, and how close do you need to be for the remote to work?
Asked by Paul O ·
Hi Paul! We only have the option of our remote control that we offer with the shades and the shade will come with a lithium battery pack which is chargeable. Each order will come with 1 charger and when your shade seems to be wearing down you would charge your shade's motor for a good 6 hours and each charge is estimated to last 500 revolutions. The remote controls will work up to 65 feet from shade.

My bedroom window is very wide (94.5") and it seems it may be best to use 2 shades. Do you recommend this?
Asked by Susie ·
Hi Susie! This shade can be made that wide however bear in mind that you may have a horizontal seam due to railroading the material. ~~~~~ Shades over 73" wide AND 60" long - vinyl fabric is railroaded (turned on side) and a horizontal seam will be visible. Lengths 60" to 74 1/8" the seam is located approx 55" from the top of the shade. For lengths over 74 1/8" the seam is located approx 45" from the top of the shade.

For vertical blinds on a sliding glass window where should i take my measurements from? Obviously it needs to extend above and past the sides.
