I have two 3x3 foot windows that are side by side set in a 6 foot wide by 3 foot high space. I am considering if I should have a single 6w 3h roller shade, or two 3x3 roller shades with a single 6ft wide valence (split blinds). What is recommended? Is there a way to mount two 3x3 shades (split blinds with cordless precision lock, or a motor?
Asked by David ·
Hi David, thank you for your question! Without seeing your window opening, it's difficult to make a specific recommendation on whether one wide shade or two separate shades would work best for your space. If you choose to order two 3' x 3' shades, please keep in mind that each shade will come with its own valance, as we don't offer an option to order a single valance to cover two separate shades. The two shades can be mounted next to each other as long as nothing in the opening interferes with the installation. If you'd like to discuss your options in more detail, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team at [email protected] or 1-888-256-8672, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. We'd be happy to help you determine the best option for your windows!

Which one has highest r value , for inside cordless , blackout would work but really just need sun blocking at certain times.
Asked by Arthur P ·
Hi Arthur, thank you for your question! The best option for a blackout cordless shade with a high R-Value would be a cellular shade. Ours have an R-Value ranging from 4.8-5. If you need help finding the best option for your space, you can reach out to us at [email protected] or 1-888-256-8672, Mon-Fri 8a-5p CST.

Do you have instructions for outside mounting? Our new windows are too shallow for inside-mounted shades, but I've never seen outside-mounted roller shades.

Hi, I am interested in the "silver" color but it looks like more of a taupe on the color swatch? is this accurate? I do actually want the taupe color if that is true to the product.
Asked by Lorena ·
Hi Lorena, thank you for your question! Color appearance can vary quite a bit depending on different screens and monitor settings, so what you’re seeing in the “silver” swatch may look slightly different in person. To be sure you’re getting exactly the look you want, we strongly recommend ordering samples. We provide up to 10 free samples, which you can request directly on our site. You’re also welcome to reach out to us at [email protected] or 888-256-8672 (Mon–Fri, 8a–5p CST) if you’d like help placing a sample order.

trying to increase tension on the deluxe blackout solar shade and I'm not getting it to increase tension. Which way do I turn the wheel to Increase tension. The instructions are not clear enough. They seem to say clockwise but from which perspective. Looking from the inside of the shade or the outside of the shade.
Asked by Michael ·
Hello Michael, thank you for your question! To increase the tension of the Deluxe Blackout Solar Shades when you're facing the shade, push the wheel downward (counter-clockwise), the opposite will decrease tension. Please note, this only applies to the cordless precision lock lift. If you have any further questions, please feel free to give us a call, start a live chat or send us an email!
