I ordered a set of roller shades with cassette valances but only have a window depth of 3". Will it still work?

Yes! The minimum depth required is 1 3/4-inches
Answered by Blindster ·
Can these mount to the top of window or only to the sides
Asked by Lynn ·
Most of our products mount to the top of the window.
Answered by Blindster ·
what kind of mounts do these shades use? I am looking to replace shades but was hoping to use the same mounts already up.
Asked by Diane ·
Hi Diane, If you are looking to order these with the cassette valances then they will only be a top or back/ surface mount. If you are not getting the cassette valance option then you can mount from the sides, top or back of the brackets. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that your existing brackets will work with our shades. You can also view what our hardware looks like in the installation instructions which are located on the main page of this product selection towards the bottom of the page. Thank you for your time.

Can these be mounted on the inside, ceiling part of the window frame?
Asked by Melanie ·
Hi Melanie, Yes, these can be top mounted as long as you have the provided depth necessary to mount the shade. Here are the specs required, "Minimum depth required for inside mount: 1 1/4" without cassette valance; 1 3/4" with cassette valance Depth required for inside flush mount: 2 1/2" without cassette valance; 4" with cassette valance". Thanks so much for your time.

How do the blinds slide to a stack-with a wand or by a chain? Also, how do the vanes open and close-by a wand or a chain? We have a patio door that we go out all the time and we want the blinds to stack to the left, but don't necessarily want the chain on that side since many people pass through that doorway and don't want them snagging the chain by accident. We thought that if it was a chain, we would put it on the left.

Are custom cord lengths available for blackout roller blinds? The windows I want to shade start at about 9 1/2 feet off the floor so I would want a 12 foot cord for each blind.
Asked by Dale ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Yes, you can order the cords to a custom length. Just put the notes in the comment section of each shade. Please put the length you want from the top of the headrail or roller tube in inches.

Is this or any other roller blind you sell waterproof and safe to be installed in a shower where water will likely splash on it daily?
Asked by Brittney C ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The only roller shade we sell that is "waterproof" are our exterior solar shades. The problem isn't the fabric, any polyester/vinyl fabrics are waterproof. It is the mechanisms that need to withstand water exposure. The warranty on the mechanisms is limited to 5 years.

Why not include instructions as to how to tension the spring roller??? I thought everyone knew how to do this but I was wrong.
