I wish to do an inside mount with a cassette ands so I need a width of coverage to be 53" to cover the edge of the wood trim when pulled downward. I assume that this is my width specification. 1) With the cassette mounted as well (which I will order), it appears that the cassette mounts to the ceiling of the inside frame, correct? 2) Does the roller itself also mount to the ceiling also, and if so, are there 2 brackets to install to the ceiling or 1 for both the roller and the cassette? 3) If the roller shade mounts to the side walls and the cassette mounts to the ceiling, then do I account for a greater width than my space is wider than my desired width of the actual roller? Space width = 55.25" Trim width (cover the window frame size) = 53" Height of space 45.5" Will have cassette to cover roller, and have plenty of depth to account for the 43/8" depth required.

Hello Scott, thank you for your questions about our Premium Blackout Fabric Roller Shades and the installation process. When ordering this shade with a cassette the shade would sit inside the cassette which has to be top mounted only.

I am going to order some OUTSIDE mount shades. Your instructional video (in the outside mount segment) says that there will be a deduction made from the ordered shade width for brackets. But that seems to only apply to INSIDE mount shades according to the printed instructions, which say: "Note: Roller shade fabrics will be approximately 1 ¼" inches narrower than your ordering width to allow for brackets. If concerned over resulting light gap please select outside mount." So I would like to know if my ordering width for OUTSIDE mount shades will be exactly the fabric shade width, or something else. I have Rollease shades in my house, where the cassette valance is about an inch longer than the fabric (on the chain side). I am working with tight tolerances so I need to know exactly what I will receive if I order a 60" width outside mount roller shade. Is it the shade fabric or the cassette length?
Asked by Marc C ·
Hello Marc, Thank you for your question! When ordering an outside mount, the bracket-to-bracket or end-of-cassette-to-end-of-cassette measurement will match the exact size you ordered, with no additions. However, the material itself will always be slightly less (1 1/4") than the ordered measurement. This is necessary to ensure proper rolling and functionality. If you need the material to cover a specific area, you’ll need to add to your overall measurement accordingly. The reason we suggest ordering an outside mount would be because on the inside mount you can not add to your measurements if you want the material to be a certain width.

With the cassette mount, the info says, "A Cassette Valance conceals the roller tube at the top of the window and a fabric insert covers the face of the cassette. You cannot side mount with this option." What does "you cannot side mount with this option" mean since I am doing an INSIDE mount, which from what I can tell is from inside of the sides of the frame opening?

Hi Scott, thank you for reaching out! You are correct that for an inside mount you'll be installing the cassette valance inside the window frame, but you'll fasten the included brackets to the top inside that window frame, instead of to the sides. The brackets will be fastened overhead into the 'ceiling' of the window frame, then the cassette valance will lock into the brackets that hang down. Please let us know if we can answer any other questions!
