100% Light Blockage!
Go Cordless!

See what makes it special →

The saying goes that there can be too much of a good thing. That holds true for light too, especially when too much coming through your window is disruptive. Whether it's the glare on your TV screen or bright light keeping you awake, our Premium Blackout Roller Shades are your solution for toning down that light and getting to your happy place. With these shades, pull them down a bit or all the way to get just the right amount of light or none at all. Your hand-picked options let you take control just the way you want.

Get to know this shade:

Designer-inspired fabrics and colors to complement any decor
Blackout fabric allows 0% of light to pass through the shade; white backing provides neutral appearance to the street
Wide spectrum of available sizes including extra-large widths and heights for picture windows
Premium design inside and out

The best things about this product:

Blackout fabric will block light trying to pass through the shade, providing a soothing darkened room when desired
Available cassette valance hides the fabric roll and helps block additional light from entering around the top of the shade
Features available easy-stay cordless lift for effortless operation and an uncluttered look
Upgrade to the ultimate in convenience with motorized lift control – operate multiple shades easily by remote control, even out-of-reach windows
Add the optional hub to motorized shades to connect to home automation systems like Alexa and Nest
All colors are also available in light filtering versions so you can keep the same color but adjust light control as needed in each room
Meets all CPSC requirements for child safety

Key considerations:

Some indirect light may still sneak around the shade even when fully closed; for a complete blackout experience consider laying window treatments
The fabric will be about 1 1/4" narrower that our ordered size in order to accommodate the operating mechanisms and brackets at the top of the shade
Shade components (beaded chain, tensioner, end caps) will be coordinated to the shade fabric in one of five colors: white, vanilla, gray, bronze, or black
This shade connects to home automation systems via Hub-C only. Any Blindster shades that are compatible with Hub-C can be connected to home automation with a single Hub-C device. Shades that are listed with a different version hub cannot be controlled with Hub-C.

How to Measure

How to Measure: Inside Mount

3 min read

Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:

Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. To mount the brackets, the depth at the top of the window must be at least 1 5/8" for shades without a cassette valance and 1 1/2" for shades with a cassette valance. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be between 2 1/8" and 4" (depending on roll diameter) for shades without a cassette valance and 4 3/8" for shades with a cassette valance. If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.

How to Measure:

Let's start with the Width:

Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering width.

Now, let's do the Height:

Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.

Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 3/16" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.

The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1 1/4" – 1 7/16" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric). When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product.

No deductions will be made to the ordered height.

How to Measure: Outside Mount

3 min read

Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 1 1/4" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets for shades without a cassette valance, or at least 4" for shades with a cassette valance. Follow the directions below for where you'd like to install your shade.

If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.

Your ordered width will be the "tip to tip" measurement, which is the widest part of the top of the shade including the brackets and cassette valance (if applicable). The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1 1/16" – 1 1/4" narrower than the ordered width (up to 5/8" on each side). If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider – just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade.

Width:

Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.

Height:

Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

Height:

Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

Note: The shade fabric may rub against the trim when operating. If your trim is more than 1/2" thick, consider adding shims (not included) under the brackets for additional clearance. If your trim is 3/4" or thicker, we recommend ordering the shade with the reverse roll option.

Width:

We don't normally recommend mounting roller shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the bracket to bracket measurement which cannot exceed the width of your trim. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim.
Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. That is your ordering width.
Note that the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than your ordered width.

Height:

Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height.

Width:

Using a metal tape measure, measure left to right from the outside edge of the trim piece that goes around the glass to the other outside edge. That is your ordering width. However, if you have space, it is best to order the shade about 2-3" wider for better light control.

Height:

Consider how far above the window trim piece you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Measure down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below the window trim piece as you used above. That is your ordering height.

Note: We offer magnetic hold-downs for this product which can be requested during the ordering process. These should be installed for a successful door mount as they secure the shade at the bottom of the door so that it does not swing when the door opens and closes.

I have three windows side by side can I get individual shades and one long valance about 115”
Asked by David B · July 2, 2025
Hello David, thank you for your question. Premium Blackout Fabric Roller Shades. With these, each shade would have its own valance. If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call, start a live chat or send us an email!
Answered by Blindster · July 2, 2025
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.
Asked by Scott · March 9, 2025
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. To discuss your project in further detail, please feel free to give us a call, start a live chat or send us an email!
Answered by Blindster · March 11, 2025
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 · February 17, 2025
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.

Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:

Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. To mount the brackets, the depth at the top of the window must be at least 1 5/8" for shades without a cassette valance and 1 1/2" for shades with a cassette valance. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be between 2 1/8" and 4" (depending on roll diameter) for shades without a cassette valance and 4 3/8" for shades with a cassette valance. If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.

How to Measure:

Let's start with the Width:

Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering width.

Now, let's do the Height:

Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.

No deductions will be made to the ordered height.
