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.

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. #### Above the Window (No Trim) 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. #### Above the Trim 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 either side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance. - Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including any 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, 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. #### On The Trim 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. #### Door Mount 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.

All of them: https://frontend-v3-staging-non-prod.toolfreeblinds.com/shades/roller-shades/prem-light-filtering-roller-shades/reviews - 5/5, Ronald, 2026-08-06: "We have used another manufacturer custom shades for the main rooms in our house, we waited and then decided to try Blindster brand for our Sunroom and Garage. The processes was very easy, we received the sample material and then we had to reverify measurements. We received 9 items very quickly. The items were packed extremely well, the directions were worthless and so was the video on their WEB site. All items fit perfectly, and once I figured out the best method for installing the shades the processes went very quickly. The shades look great and are doing a superb job of letting in light while keeping the sunroom and garage much cooler. Even though the ordering process was easy i did not like that I had to buy a warranty for additional years, Blindster should stand by their product for more then one year, the other brand that is in our house came with a lifetime replacement warranty that we have used even when it was our fault, yes we paid more but they stood behind the product, Blindster should really relook their warranty policy. I gave Blindster 5 Stars because the quality was very good for the cost (50% off during summer sale), ordering was easy, quick shipment and items were packaged perfectly to prevent damage during shipment." - 5/5, Richard m, 2026-06-21: "We have a window in our dining room that the morning sun comes thru and is blinding to anyone sitting on one side of the table. We have a lucious stained glass window that hangs in the window, but it does not block the intense sun. The translucent shade is located behind the stained glass so the brilliance is not blocked, but the sun glare is. Perfect" - 5/5, Nora, 2026-04-09: "This shade looks super clean and operates very smoothly. It filters just the right amount of light. Far from blackout, but blocks out heat nicely. If I had to estimate, it blocks about 75% of direct sunlight. The brackets were easy enough to install, but clipping the blind into the brackets themselves was more challenging. It takes quite a bit of force. In fact, we accidentally pulled the strip of matching material out of the cassette while we were trying to rock it in (it's not glued in), but we were able to finesse it back into place." - 5/5, Fari, 2025-11-26: "I purchased the Premium Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades from Blindster about three years ago, and I’ve been extremely happy with them. The fabric is just right—not too thin, not too thick—and it filters light beautifully. The material feels high-quality, and the price was very reasonable for the value. Recently, I contacted Blindster because I had lost one of the parts and couldn’t use the shade any more. Despite the purchase being three years old, their customer service was exceptional. They responded quickly and kindly mailed me the replacement part right away. Outstanding customer service and high-quality shades. Highly recommend!" - 5/5, Curtis, 2025-09-21: "Beautiful! Completely satisfied."
