According to the information listed, the fabrics range in a privacy scale from 3- 5 on a scale from 1-10. Can you please indicate which of the bamboo fabrics would rate a the most privacy (assuming that is a 5 on the scale)? Thank you.
Asked by Diane ·
Thank you so much for your interest! We really recommend that you get free samples from us if you are concerned about color or privacy. The 4 fabrics that I consider to provide the best privacy in this category are: Softesque Asian, Softesque Meadowland, Softesque Wheatfield & Softesque Gravel.

I have a 96" wide triple window and will outside mount three separate shades (approx. 27", 42" & 27"). Need to know how much space is needed to accommodate the valance. In other words, if I order a 27" wide shade, how wide will the valance be? Thanks.
Asked by Ed ·
Thank you for your interest! For all roller shades, the ordered width is the width of the valance for outside mount shades. The fabric (varies by product) will be 1 1/2" less than the ordered width. So, if you want the fabric to be 27" (using your measurements above) then you would order your shade at least 28 1/2" wide. The valance would be 28 1/2". The valances can butt up against each other. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales if you need more specific advise.

my windows are 36 w x 70 tall. will i have a seam? or is it only if the windows are wide AND tall?
Asked by Tracia K ·
Thank you for your interest! Your shade would not have a seam. Shades made in this fabric will not have seams unless the width is over 73" AND the height is over 61". Whether a shade has seams is determined by the width of the roll of fabric that the factory uses to make your shades. That means that it can vary by fabrics even within a product category. For instance, if you choose the linen fabric in this product line you will get a seam only if the shade is over 78" wide AND the height is over 66".

Are these roller shades able to be mounted from the top of the window casing or just the sides of the window casing?
Asked by Becky C ·
Thank you for your interest! Yes, the brackets can be mounting to the top, back or side.

Specs say "fabric width is 3/4 to 1 1/4" less than ordered width". Explain please.
Asked by Pat S ·
Thank you for your interest! The fabric width will be 3/4" to 1 1/4" less (varies by the size of the shade) than the width you order on each item. Roller shade mechanisms attach to the end of the tube and the fabric can't be wider than the tube. If you are mounting the roller shades inside the window, you would order using the window opening width (at the top of the window for roller shades only). Then there will be 3/8" to 5/8" light gap on each side of the shade. This is not so noticeable on light filtering fabrics and is more noticeable on blackout fabrics. If you are mounting the roller shades outside the window (above or to the sides of the window) then you would need to add at least 1 1/4" to the window opening width to completely cover your window with fabric. Of course, you would need to have room to mount the shades at the wider width. This is easier to explain over the telephone. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more information.

what is a clutch lift
Asked by Lucy ·
Thank you for your interest! The clutch lift is a clutch that fits on the end of the tube. It has a continuous loop chain (a circle of continuous chain) that hangs down. You pull the chain to lift and lower the roller shades. The clutch lift is a very reliable lift system. We can send you a photo of the clutch system if you will email us at [email protected]. Or you can call us at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales.
