My question is about the privacy liner. Are you able to see through it at night when the light is on? Would you be able to see the mullions between the glass through the shade when it is lowered (transparency).
Asked by Betsy P ·
Hi Betsy, great questions! While the privacy liner helps reduce visibility, it does not provide complete nighttime privacy when interior lights are on. Some shapes or shadows may be noticeable from outside. Regarding the mullions, the amount of transparency will vary depending on the selected fabric and lighting conditions. If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call, start a live chat or send us an email!

My wife requires that none of the shade blocks the window when retracted so I am considering outside mount on the trim. How much above the actual window opening would I need to mount the shade for a 47" high window and for a 62" high window?

Hi Garret, thank you for your question! Once programmed with the remote, the shades can be operated using the SmartLife App. To connect to home automation systems a hub/bridge would need to be purchased, but we do not sell any. Let us know if you have any further questions!

Is there a way to mount the blinds at the top of the window rather than on either side of the window?
Asked by Kim ·
Hi Kim, thank you for your question! Yes, these shades can be mounted at the top of the window. The brackets are designed for top mount or surface mount installation and do not support side mounting. Let us know if you have any further questions!

I am looking for shade fabric that will be suitable for a kitchen over-the-sink window, could you recommend one? (somewhat water repellent and easy to clean)?
Asked by Katie ·
Hi Katie, thank you for your question! Roller shades, including fabric, solar, and vinyl options, are great choices for spaces like this. Faux wood blinds would be an even better option, especially for areas where moisture may be present. Let us know if you have any further questions!

Why is there an option for “no remote” or “remote”? What happens if I choose “no remote” for the battery powered curtains?
Asked by Rosie ·
Hello Rosie, thank you for your question! The remote is optional because if you've ordered one in the past you may not need another remote as this remote can control up to 6 shades. If you haven't ordered one, you will need one for the initial programming. If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call, start a live chat or send us an email!

Does it look pleated when it is all the way down? Or do you have to order it longer than the actual length to get that effect?
Asked by Kelly ·
Hello Kelly, thank you for your question! The Premium Plain Fold Roman Shades will have a smooth, flat appearance when fully lowered and will not appear pleated from top to bottom. The folds are created as the shade is raised. We recommend ordering the shade to your actual window measurements rather than adding extra length. Let us know if you have any further questions!
