My great room has 6 tall windows and a large sliding glass door. I'm thinking outside mount roller shade with a cassette header for the windows. Can a vertical shade be made of the same fabric? And, matching header? Options?
Asked by Billie ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, we don't have any roller shade fabrics that can be made into vertical blinds.

How do you clean the fabric? Can it be removed to do so?
Asked by Janell R ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Generally these shades are only dusted. However, you can take a damp cloth and spot clean the shades. We do not recommend that you remove the fabric from the tube.

Can roller shades be used on sliding doors on a lanai
Asked by Lee H ·
Thank you so much for your interest! You need a solid surface (usually wood but it can also be metal) where you can install the installation brackets with screws. Most lanais (at least the ones I have seen personally) have a metal structure. Just make sure you want to use screws on your metal surfaces. Please call a sales agent at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales. That way we can ask questions and help you find the best solution.

I have a wide breakfast nook window that I would keep bare, but the sun coming through in the summer is blinding and hot. I really only want to cover the top quarter portion of the window during breakfast--after that, the sun is high enough that it doesn't bother me (and I like it open). If I bought a shade that rolls down the entire 46 inches, I'd never roll it down that far. Is there an option for a simple shade that only goes down about 24 inches? Or would that look strange? Like a panel?
Asked by Cjimes ·
Thank you so much for your interest! You can order a roller shade to any height you want. Ordering the shade at the entire 46 inches would give you the most flexibility but would obviously cost more. It is quite common to only roll roller shades down part of the window. I don't think it will look strange. However, if people who don't live in your home will be moving these shades they might be confused.

is it possible to use this roller shade to cover a large diagonal sky light window approx 34" x 91" ? would a roller shade be the best option?
Asked by Mike c ·
Thank you for your interest! Roller Shades and cell shades are the most common window coverings used for sky lights. However, you must have a channel system that holds the shades in place. Unfortunately, we don't have that option available. Some people will use hold down brackets to hold the bottom of the shade. The problem with this solution is that it only works with cell shades (roller shades don't have a hold down system) and the fabric will still sag a little. Please call a sales agent at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you want to discuss this further.

Do you offer this product with the option of two blinds on one headrail?
Asked by Mark ·
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately roller shades have to be made individually & separately. You can get a valance that will cover both roller shades but you will have to order the Premium Shades to get that option. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more detailed information.

Asked by Tony T ·
Thank you for your interest. I'm certainly no cat expert but I can't think of anything that can't be damaged by claws or teeth. Yes, the RUSH promotion code is still in affect.

Will these blinds prevent anyone from seeing into a lighted house at night? We need security shades.
Asked by Leslie ·
Thank you for your interest. The Light Filtering colors will let light in and you may be able to see shadows in a lighted house at night (lighter colors show more than darker colors). The Blackout fabrics are completely opaque. However, there is a 3/4" gap on each side of the window on roller shades. The fabric will be cut 1 1/2" less than the ordered width.
Answered by Blindster ·
will these blinds fad over the years becuase they will face west and get direct sunlight for most of the day
Asked by Michael ·
Thank you for your interest! The blackout shades will not change color. The blackout backing on the fabric prevents sunlight from penetrating the fabric. We have never had a complaint about color change on this product. However, the light-filtering shades may have a slight mellowing of the color over the years that would be considered normal wear and tear. Any drastic color change would be covered under our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
