Do these blinds open (roll up) completely so that it looks like the window does not have anything in it? That is the effect I am looking for. When closed I am looking for a full blackout effect so my child isn't awakened by morning sun shining in. Will this blind accomplish this?

Thank you so much for your interest! The blinds will completely roll up but there will be 2 to 4" of rolled up shade at the top of the window when raised completely. The fabric will completely block all light (as will anything we have labeled as blackout on our website). However, there will be residual light around the edges.

Does this come with the mounting hardware?? I have old blackout shades, and have the mounting from them. Will I need new ones for these?

Thank you for your interest! All of blinds and shades come with all the hardware you need to mount the shades. It's possible that you will be able to use old hardware but more likely that you will need to use the ones you receive with your order.

i have a very old roller blind on this window that i pull down with my hand and then springs back up..with the pull of the hand..Is this the same blind? and it is a very thick vynal of somesort.probably fom the 70's love the blind but tearing and aging.. And how do i measure for this blind. The old blind has a pinon each side that you just put in the hole of the inside window attached part..Does this work the same way?

Thank you for your interest! Yes, this blind is very similar to your old shade when ordered with the cordless option. Inside mount - measure the width of your window opening at the top of your window (where you are going to mount the shade). The shade will come so that the top (with the mechanisms) will fit inside your window. The fabric will be 1 1/2" smaller than the width ordered. Outside mount - measure the width you want to cover with your fabric. Order the shade using that width plus 1 1/2". Please make sure you have an additional 1 1/2" at the top where you are mounting the shade. You need 1" of flat space to mount the brackets. You can call one of our sales associates at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more help. Also, all of our products have measuring instructions on the product page (scroll down).
