The shades are constructed with horizontal fabric vanes "floating" between two layers of airy sheer material. Lower the shade fully to have the fabric vanes open and the sunlight will softly radiate through the sheer panels, casting a gently light more evenly throughout the room. For privacy or for greater light control, just rotate the vanes vertically to fully block the view into the room while still allowing a bit of light to pass through the shade for the perfect ambience. To operate the shades, choose either the standard beaded chain, hassle-free cordless lift, or the upscale convenience of motorized lift. You can even connect motorized shades to your home automation system with the optional Smart Hub! A cassette valance that hides the fabric roll and installation brackets completes the look. Elevate your decor with new sheer shades! Get to know this shade: - Features light-filtering privacy vanes in the color of your choice, suspended between two layers of wispy sheer material - Fabric vanes can be tilted closed for privacy or open to allow light through the sheer facings - Includes 3" tall cassette valance (matching fabric insert available or color coordinated painted finish) - Color coordinated headrail and hardware provide a uniform look for every fabric color Why you'll love this shade: - Style, sophistication, and dynamic light control – all rolled into one beautiful shade! - Sheer fabric softens and disperses light more evenly in the room and blocks harmful UV rays - Tilting fabric vanes provide privacy and additional light blocking when needed - Specially designed sheer fabric prevents any wavy distortion (moiré) when looking through the sheer material - Your choice of beaded loop pull cord, easy-touch cordless lift, or motorized operation - Complies with all current CPSC safety requirements – Blindster recommends cordless or motorized lift for convenience and child safety Key considerations: - Rotate the fabric vanes closed for nighttime privacy – sheer material alone will be translucent at night - Fabric portion of shade will be 7/8" narrower than ordered width on cordless shades, and 1 1/8" narrower with beaded chain and motorized ## How to measure ### How to Measure: Inside Mount Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! 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". To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3 3/8". 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 1/4" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets. The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 7/8" – 1 1/8" narrower than the ordered width depending on the lift type (up to 9/16" 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" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets. 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 width of the cassette at the top of the shade. The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 7/8" – 1 1/8" narrower than the ordered width (up to 9/16" on each side) depending on lift type. 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. #### On The Trim Width: - We don't normally recommend mounting zebra dual shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the width of the cassette at the top of the shade. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim. Conversely, having the width of the fabric equal the width of your window trim will mean the top of the shade will extend beyond the width of the window 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 This shade is not suitable for installing on a door. The motion could cause the fabric to shift and telescope off the tube which will result in the material fraying on the edges.
