What is the procedure for measuring double windows?
Asked by Bruce H ·
Hello Bruce, Thank you for contacting us about measuring instructions for Roman shades on a double window. Depending on how your double window is set up most customers measure from the left to the right of the inside of there window and then divide evenly in half. Or if you have molding or metal strip down your window. Some customers will measure from the left to the middle of the divider and then from the middle of the divider to the right hand side inside the frame. This would give you more precises measurements. If you want us to give you more details you can always email us a picture of your window to [email protected] and we can tell you exactly were to measure.

I am looking for FLAT Roman shades. In the picture they don't appear to be flat. Do you have them in this design?
Asked by Sue ·
Thank you so much for your interest! These shades do come with a FLAT option. Just put a note on your order to get them with the flat design.

We'd like to put one of the shades in our bathroom that gets great light. Any fabric suggestions for a roman shade that will give privacy but not block all the light?
Asked by Sydney A ·
Thank you so much for your interest! All of the premium roman shades have a privacy liner as the standard option. It will allow some light through the fabric. I suggest you get samples so you can see how much light will penetrate the fabric itself.

Can the roman shades be made with smaller pleats for small windows? (28.75 x 28.75) I'm thinking 4" pleats.
Asked by Bob ·
Thank you so much for your interest! This isn't simple to explain but I'll try. It varies by type of fold. But in general most pleats are 6". Plain fold with cords: The middle pleats on all of the fabric roman shades is 6" (when closed they are 3"). For a shade this size there will be 4 each 6" folds. The bottom pleat will be between 2" and 7 7/8" (hangs down and does not fold). I believe the bottom pleat for a shade this size would be approximately 4 3/4". Other folds and options will have different specifications. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to discuss your particular window. We can then get exact specifications from the factory.

What does the back of the roman shade look like? Does it have ties or is it smooth? Also can you get a matching valance?
Asked by Theresa M ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The plain fold shades will have horizontal seams with "splines" (hard pieces that help the shade fold properly) sewn into them that will show when the shade is lowered (the fabric will be flat when fully lowered). The soft fold shades has folds (like the folds when you raise the plain fold shades) that stay folded even when the shades are fully lowered. These folds cover the horizontal seams (with the splines). For both, the lift cords are attached to the splines on the back side of the shade and hang down the back side. The back of the shade has a white fabric liner. Our standard shades will not have a valance, the fabric hangs off the front of the headrail. Shades with the continuous cord loop will have a matching valance. You can request that the shade be made with cords forward (means that the lift cords will hang down the front of the shade). Cords forward shades have a valance and the mechanisms are mount in front of the fabric and behind the valance. Please call a sales agent at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to place an order.

I wonder if you make roman shades for windows other than rectangular. I'm interested for windows that are rectangular at the lower end but triangular at the top. This would mean the two side measurements are differ lengths.
Asked by J. D ·
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, we do not make anything that is not rectangular at this time. I have not seen a shade that is available per your description. I'm sorry I couldn't help.

I have a window opening that is 107" wide and 72" long. Is that too big for certain types of roman shades and fabrics? Which one would work the best? Thanks
Asked by Diane ·
Thank you for your interest! You can get a standard corded shade in that size in any of the premium products. You should be aware that a shade that wide may need to have the folds straightened as you raise the shade. However, the fabric should become trained after repeated use. I recommend that you order the continuous cord loop option for a shade this wide. You also could consider putting 2 or 3 shades in the window. Usually you decide based on the number of separate window units you have in the window opening. This would solve the size issue, allow you to get cordless option or the top down/bottom up option on the shades and allow you to open only part of the window. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more information.
