Can these be used in a garage where it is warmer.
Asked by Karen M ·
Hello Karen, thank you for your question about the Deluxe Blackout Solar Shades. We typically don’t recommend using those in garages or areas that get especially warm, as the heat can affect the performance and longevity of the material. For a space like a garage, our Deluxe Exterior Outdoor Solar Shades would be a better fit—they’re specifically designed to handle higher temperatures and outdoor environments. Let us know if you have any further questions!

Can you provide a suggestion using an indoor solar shade providing the most glare and heat protection for a trapezoid shaped window approx 34” inches wide x 120” long which is difficult to reach? Not really interested in a cellular shade. Can your shades be laterally mounted?

Hi there, I read in an answer above that the color ordered is forward facing and a whiteish/reflective side is on the back. I'm looking for oppsite, with white showing from the front/inside and black on the back facing outwards/reflective side. Is this an available option? If not, will reversing them so the white is on the inside have an impact on the insulation and blackout levels of the interior room?
Asked by Shonna ·
Hello Shonna, you'll want to look at our Deluxe blackout roller shades https://www.blindster.com/shades/roller-shades and these will be color on one side and what/neutral on the other. If you order as a reverse roll (fabric coming off the front of the tube) and then install them so that the fabric is rolling off behind, this should give you the look you are going for. Please give us a call at 888-256-8672 and we'd be happy to help make sure this ends up being what you want. Please keep in mind that black will absorb more light than white does, white helps reflect the sunlight.

If I install this above the window casing/molding, will the casing interfere with the shade lowering?
Asked by Justin ·
Hello Justin, more than likely yes it will interfere, you will need shims to allow the fabric to clear the molding as the fabric will be rolling behind the tube closest to the window. (Reverse rolls are only an option if you ceiling mount or inside mount the shade.) Please feel free to reach out to us at 888-256-8672 and we'd be happy to help figure out what your options are.

DO these blinds block heat? If so how much?
Asked by Rebecca ·
Hello Rebecca, thank you for your question! These shades are designed to block 100% of the sun's UV rays which will reduce the heat that comes through the window. Unfortunately, we do not have a specific amount as to how much for this product.

What is the tubing OD size for Roller shade and solar shade for 70.5 inches wide x 82 inches length? is it possible to use 1.5 OD tubing ?
Asked by Ashton ·
Hello Ashton, a blackout solar shade at the 70 1/2 x 82" size would be on a 1 1/4" aluminum tube. A 1 1/2" tube is only an option if the shade is over 72" wide up to 96" wide.

Hi - are these total blackout shades? I already have opaque light filtering ones, and I need to add blackout shades in front of them to block the light while I sleep. Will these do that?
