How do I go about getting a sample of the different backing options for a roman shade? Also, do you have any recommendations when measuring to install on a bay window? Thanks.
Asked by Lauren ·
Hi Lauren, thank you for your question. Yes, we can get that sent out for you. I will reach out to you in a separate email so that we can get your address and mail them out for you. For bay windows, we suggest creating a template to help determine the measurements you will need for each window. I have posted a link from our blog below that walks you through the steps. https://www.blindster.com/blog/how-to-measure-bay-windows-for-blinds/ and here are our headrail depth measurements depending on the lift type you select: Depth required for inside flush mount: 1 1/2" for standard lift; 2 1/4" for top down bottom up corded; 2 1/4" for Continuous Loop up to 58" wide x 58" height; 3 1/4" for Continuous Loop over 58" wide x 58" height (both must be over 58"); 2" for Cordless. Please feel free to contact us at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales, if you need further assistance. We're happy to help!

When doing an outside mount, how far do the shades/mounting brackets protrude from the wall?
Asked by Ezra L ·

How do you get rid of wrinkles? Specifically for group c fabric - gent bisque, simple fold.
Asked by Laura ·
Hi Laura, thank you for your question! One easy way to help remove wrinkles is to keep the shades lowered down all the way for around 48 - 72 hours. During that time, the wrinkles should come out naturally. For more stubborn wrinkles, using a handheld steamer (like used on clothes) will quickly remove the wrinkles. Pulling gently at the bottom of the shade while doing this will help work them out as well.

I am interested in a roman shade for a glass door. Is the lining material always white? I need black.....
Asked by Bonnie W ·
Hello Bonnie, thank you for reaching out! Yes, the back of the shade will be white to the exterior. Unfortunately, there is not a black liner option. I apologize for the inconvenience.

What is the difference on the cord lift between standard or left? Will the cord show on both? Thank
Asked by Jane ·
Hi Jane, thank you for your question! The standard lift on these shades will have a cord on the right-handed side that will raise and lower the bottom of the shade. You can also select to have this lift cord on the left-hand side as well. The lift cords will be behind the actual shade itself. In either configuration, you would reach behind the shade and pull the lift cord.

On a plain. Fold what is the difference between group A a d group B
Asked by Jane ·
Hi Jane, thank you for your question! The difference between the 2 groups is that they offer different fabrics. As you move from group A, to B, to C, to D the fabrics will start to become more decorative and elaborate as you go down the alphabet.

Regarding the Premium Plain Fold Roman Shades Group C: my client wants complete blackout. Can that be attained with an inside mount? (no side leakage?) If not and we do an outside mount (mounting on window frame) what will the projection of the shade be from the frame. I am asking because we want to mount these under existing Roman Shades. The Existing Roman Shades are mounted on the wall above the frame and completely cover the frames on all four sides, which would be great, but they are not blackout. The client does not want to replace the existing window treatment.
Asked by Julianne S ·
Hello Julianne, thank you for reaching out! If ordering as an inside mount, there is a possibility of light seepage on the sides. If ordering as an outside mount, the depth of the headrail will depend on the lift type your client orders, I have listed those below: Depth: 1 1/2" for standard lift; 2 1/4" for Continuous Loop up to 58" wide x 58" height; 3 1/4" for Continuous Loop over 58" wide x 58" height (both must be over 58"); 2" for Cordless **Please note that Outside mount shades with top down bottom up or continuous loop cord option the headrail will be 1" wider than the ordered width.**

I am looking at the roman shades with continuous loop chain, how far down does the chain hang from the headrail?
Asked by Leigh B ·
Hello Leigh, thank you for reaching out! The Continuous loop chain will be approximately 2/3 - 3/4 the overall height of the shade.

What is a continuous cord loop with Roman shades
Asked by Sally H ·
Hello Sally, thank you for your inquiry! The Continuous loop cord is a bottom-up lift option for these Roman Shades. It has a looped cord and a clutch mechanism and will stay the same length at all times when pulled. We recommend this lift type, especially with larger shades.
