These unique shades feature two layers of sheer material connected by horizontal fabric vanes in between. The sheer portion of the shade diffuses incoming light and turns harsh direct light into an exquisite glow throughout the room. When privacy and more light control is needed, the fabric vanes can be rotated closed. The large 3" vanes provide a wide-open view to the outside and are especially well proportioned for larger windows. Choose from an array of decor-friendly colors to bring a new level of elegance to your home. Get to know this shade: - Light filtering vanes are 3" wide and are suspended between front and back layers of sheer fabric - Shades can be fully open, fully closed or lowered with the fabric vanes open to welcome in sunlight and unveil your view - Shades are operated with your choice of continuous cord loop, cordless lift, or motorized operation Why you'll love this shade: - Get two types of light control with sheer fabric that diffuses sunlight while maintaining your view, or adjustable light-filtering privacy fabric vanes - Immerse your room in a soft light when you want, or rotate the shade closed to dampen incoming light - LEVOLOR sheer fabric provides better view-through than other brands, with no moiré effect in the window - Color-coodinated metal headrail included standard, or choose the optional fabric covered headrail for an inclusive, designer look - For push-button operation, upgrade to motorized control with hub to connect to home automation and app-driven control - Meets all CPSC cord safety requirements Key considerations: - The fabric vanes on cordless shades will open to approximately a 45 degree angle; vanes on shades with other lift systems will open more horizontal - A remote is required to operate motorized shades; when ordering a home automation hub, a remote is still recommended as a backup ## How to measure ### How to Measure 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 1/4". 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 3/16" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets. The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" narrower than the ordered width (up to 1/2" 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. ### How to Measure Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 1 1/8" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets (1 1/4" if using extension 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 1" narrower than the ordered width (up to 1/2" on each side). 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 spacer blocks when ordering. These go behind the installation brackets to position the shade away from the wall and prevent the shade from hitting the frame. Spacer blocks add an additional 3/8" of depth for installation. For larger obstructions, extension brackets can also be ordered. These are used in conjunction with the standard installation brackets to position the shade away from the wall and prevent the shade from hitting the frame. Extension brackets add up to 4" of additional depth for installation. #### 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 Width: - Using a metal tape measure, measure left to right from the outside edge of the trim piece that goes around the glass to the other outside edge. That is your ordering width. However, if you have space, it is best to order the shade about 2" wider for better light control. Height: - Consider how far above the window trim piece you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Measure down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below the window trim piece as you used above. That is your ordering height. Note: We carry complimentary hold-downs (door brackets) which can be requested during the ordering process. These should be installed for a successful door mount as they secure the shade at the bottom of the door so that it does not swing when the door opens and closes. Note that the fabric vanes can be rotated but the shade cannot be raised when door brackets are installed. ## How to install - How to Install (PDF): https://cdn.toolfreeblinds.com/site/uploads/products/sheer-shades/levolor-3-inch-light-filtering-sheer-shades/documents/Sheer_Continuous_Cordloop_Install_Guide_-_SHEER_2021%20(1).pdf ## Questions & Answers 2 questions from shoppers, answered by Blindster: https://frontend-v3-staging-non-prod.toolfreeblinds.com/shades/sheer-shades/levolor-3-light-filtering-sheer-shades/questions ## Reviews 4 out of 5 from 1 reviews.
