I received and installed my deluxe light filtering roller blinds and the sides of the blinds are warping inwards. Is there a way to correct this and will the weather affect this: summer/winter. Had I’d known this, I would have not purchased them.

what is the best roller shade to use to get some energy efficiency in the summer and winter? Is the vinyl shade a good option?
Asked by Shannon e ·
Hello Shannon, if looking for energy efficiency and insulation, cellular shades will be our #1 recommendation. The roller shades will provide some, but they are not rated.

Hello Mary, Please see the following to adjust the SPRING TENSION DEVICE for ROLLER SHADES: You can also follow this link to a helpful instruction video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2RkESHDuT4&list=PLXlmJzlu27D5nwx5347jd07ZBaKKOdhXC&index=5&t=17s TO TIGHTEN THE SPRING TENSION IN THE SHADE: 1) Pull the shade down approximately halfway. 2) Remove the roller shade from the brackets. 3) Roll up the shade by hand being careful to roll the shade evenly on the tube. 4) Replace the roller shade in the brackets. 5) Repeat if necessary until the tension is okay. TO LOOSEN THE SPRING TENSION IN THE SHADE: 1) Roll up the shade. 2) Remove the roller shade from the brackets. 3) Unroll the shade approximately halfway by hand. 4) Replace the roller shade in the brackets. 5) Repeat if necessary until the tension is okay. ADJUST A FULLY SPRUNG SPRING: 1) Remove the roller shade from the brackets. 2) Unroll the shade halfway. 3) Use pliers to turn the pin on the spring side of the shade until you feel tension, then back off so the pawl (latch that allows movement in only one direction) hooks onto the ratchet. 4) Loosen or tighten spring tension as necessary using the instructions above.

What type of batteries do the "battery-powered" shades require and how long do they typically last (assuming daily operation)? Also, is there an option to direct-wire the shades to a power source?
Asked by Mark M ·
Hello Mark, These are rechargeable batteries and a full charge will last about 500 cycles (500 times up and 500 times down). Each order will come with one charger that can be plugged in to recharge the battery. Please note that recharge time on a shade is about 8 hours, chargers are not meant to be plugged into the shade long term.

For inside mount can you mount the brackets vertically?
Asked by Jazz ·
Hello Jazz, yes, you can "ceiling mount" these brackets so that they hang down vertically.

Will any of these shades give you privacy at night. I prefer not to use blackout but we do not want people to be able to see in at night in the bathroom.
Asked by KIMBERLY ·
Hello Kimberly, thank you for your question! These shades will not allow you to see through into the room, however, at night time, shadows may be visible to the outside depending on how close you are to the window.
Answered by Blindster ·
Could these shades be used in combination with inside-mount honeycomb shades? I was thinking of a combination of a top-down blackout shade inside-mount, and then light-filtering roller-shade outside mount on same window. Could that work together?
Asked by Eric H ·
Hello Eric, thank you for reaching out! This combination could work out depending on how much window depth you have. You will want to have at least 2 1/8" of depth so that the cellular shade will fit flush inside the window opening (This is the Cordless Blackout Top Down Bottom Up Single Cellular Shade). The outside mount roller shade will mount in front of that if you install on the window trim/wall around the frame.
