Hi - I have blinds already installed (rental apt) and I'd like to swap for blackouts. The brand I have here are called Mecho Shades .. Will I be able to swap these in for those? Is the mechanism universal?
Asked by Jonathan ·
Hello Jonathan, thank you so much for your interest in Blindster.com! We do provide our own installation hardware for our products as installation hardware is not usually universal from brand to brand. We could not warranty or guarantee shades, that are not used with the provided hardware, would operate properly.

Do I deduct the 1/8 inch related to the no cassette or do you? Also, I want a remote control as I expect to order more shades in the future if I like the first. How do I specify this?
Asked by Raldon S ·
Hi Raldon, thank you for reaching out! When ordered as inside mount, we will take the deduction for your at the factory, you will not want to make the adjustment on your end. Also, you will have the option to select Motorized for each shade that you need motorization for as well as select "yes" or "no" for a remote. One remote will operate up to 6 shades. When you order more later, you can select "Battery-Powered Motorized" as the lift and "no" for the remote and then program the shade to your first remote once they arrive.

I bought a house with existing blackout vinyl roller shades. One of the is installed backwards the shade is away from the glass. The label is facing the room, not against the glass. Is there a way to reverse the shade? How do I do that? Thank you.
Asked by Tricia ·
Hi Tricia, You should be able to remove the shades from the brackets and possibly switch out the brackets to make it work but without the actual order info and seeing how the shade and brackets look we cannot guarantee it will work. If that does not help please give us a call.

Could this be installed under your faux wood vertical blinds? We have them in a room with inside mount but need more light blocking for little ones when visiting. Thank you

Hello, could you tell me if the white color of this vinyl shade is the same tone as the white in the fabric roller shade version? I was considering doing vinyl on the window above the bathtub and fabric in the rest of the room. Thanks for any info you can give.
Asked by Lori ·
Hello Lori, the colors are the same, the fabric textures of the 2 materials are a little different though so you may be able to tell a small difference if the Dlx Blackout Vinyl and the Dlx Blackout Fabric are side by side.

I'd like to order shades without waiting for a color sample. Is the white shade actually white or is it off white? Thank you.
Asked by Lori ·
Hello Lori, this shade is actually white.

Can this fabric be self cut to my exact dimension requirements without having to stitch/sew each side to keep it from shredding or unraveling?
Asked by Dean C ·
Hi Dean, thank you for your inquiry. The shade fabric can be specified for an outside mount. If you need your shade to cover a specific width (e.g. for mounting a shade on a door) you will want to add 1-1/2 inches to your ordered width for the desire fabric width. Please keep in mind that the bracket to bracket width will be approximately 1 1/2" wider than the fabric.

whats the differance between inside mount and flush mount
Asked by Chuck A ·
Hi Chuck, thank you for reaching out! Flush mount is when you have enough depth inside your window opening so that when you mount the blind or shade, the front of the shade comes to the very front of the window opening and does not stick out any into the room. The minimum depth for the inside mount that we refer to indicates how much depth you have to have in order to mount the brackets into the window opening. If you do not have the amount of depth that is described in the flush mount, the blind or shade will still mount just fine, it will just protrude out into the room some.
