What is the minimum depth required for inside mount for roman top down bottom up shades? On the product details page is says "Minimum depth required for inside mount: 1 1/4" for standard lift; 2" for Continuous Loop; 1 3/4" for Cordless" On the Measure & Install page it says 2 inches.
Asked by Shane T ·
Hello Shane, thank you for reaching out! The minimum depth for the top/down bottom up feature is 2". You will need 2 1/4" to install completely flush inside the window opening.

This 70" wide Roman Shade has me concerned as to whether the cord pull mechanism will be able to handle the weight & width without the shade becoming crooked.
Asked by Rhonda L ·
Hello Rhonda, thank you for your question! You should not have any issues with the cord lift option on this size, however, I would recommend upgrading to the Continuous loop lift system, it is a better lift type for larger shades.

I have just completed a basement apartment and want Roman Shades for the 4 long windows, but the outside door, also on the same wall, is a metal door with a full window and I want to have a matching Roman shade for the door, also. Can I mount a Roman Shade on a metal door?
Asked by Melanie D ·
Hello Melanie M., it is possible for you to mount these on a metal door, but you will want to change out the screws that these will come with. We send out standard wood screws.

I want to mount this on a French door, but I am concerned about the appearance of the back side of these Soft Fold Roman shades. Do you have any photos of the back?
Asked by Patrick C ·
Hi Lisa, I'm sorry, we do not have any pictures of the back of the shades. They will be white on the back since these have a liner. The lift cords are also visible on the backs of these shades as well.

Can a valance be added to your roman shades?
Asked by Glenda J ·
Hello! Thank you for your question. It depends on how you customize. Only outside mount roman shades with the continuous cord loop option and all roman shades with the top down/bottom up option will have a valance.

Hello Whitney! How are you? I want to ask two questions: 1) Where are the Roman shades made? 2) What is the material of the shade made of? I was looking at Premium shade fabric number three. I hope you and your family are staying safe and are well!

Hello Sal, I am doing well, thank you for your questions! The roman shades are hand-crafted and shipped from Mexico. The Crepe fabrics are made out of 100% polyester.
