Hi, what is the approximate R value for these shades, when down and covering a window per correct measurements.
Asked by Jules ·
Hello Jules, thank you for your question. I'm sorry, unfortunately, we do not have an R-Value associated with our Solar Shades. Our cellular shades however have been rated in this manner.

what is difference between deluxe blackout Fabric Roller Shades and deluxe blackout solar shades?
Asked by Beckie ·
Hi Beckie, thank you so much for your inquiry! These 2 products use two different types of fabrics. The Blackout Solar Shade is made up of both PVC & polyester yarns while the Blackout Roller Shade fabric is made up of just polyester yarns. Since these are blackout, both will have an opaque backing to block light from coming through the material.

Hello, is it's possible to fabricate shades larger than your order chart goes to? I need two at 105-3/4" wide by 94- 3/4 tall (opening size). Along with about 15 others that fall within your range. We haven't decided on material yet so this question applies to fabric as well as bamboo and partial shade as well as blackout. Thanks much!
Asked by Steve ·
Hello Steve, thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, we are not able to make shades wider or taller than what we have on the website, they would need to be broken up into 2 or 3 separate shades and then butted together in the one window opening. We do offer Premium Solar Shades that can be made to that size, there will, however, be a horizontal seam that will be placed as high as possible from the bottom of the shade. https://www.blindster.com/solar-shades/premium-blackout-solar-shades/

Can these be ordered with the top down feature?
Asked by Susan ·
Hello Susan, I'm sorry, our solar shades do not have a top-down feature. The fabric will only roll up and down from off the top of the roller tube.

Is this a cellular shade? And what kind of cord comes with it? Thanks
Asked by Marijke ·
Hello Marijke, thank you for your inquiry! This is a solar shade and it raises and lowers either with a continuous cord loop that you pull or there is a cordless spring roller option that allows you to operate by grasping the bottom hem. These blackout solar shades are made of high quality, durable PVC & polyester yarn and flocked with an opaque backing. The material rolls up onto a metal tube.

For inside of the home does blackout come in a light or dark gray color?
Asked by Ray J ·
Hi Ray J., thank you for your inquiry! Yes, the color Ash in this category is a med-dark gray color that we offer. We also offer the colors Silver and Grey, which are both light grey colors, Silver being the lighter of the two. We would encourage you to get free samples of this product so that you can see which of those colors would work best for your application.

Asked by Linda ·
Hi Linda, thank you for your question! I have attached a video below showing how the solar shades are made. At 45 seconds they will show you the metal beaded chain and the nylon beaded chain. The nylon beaded chain will be color coordinated to the shade color you select while the metal is a silver metal chain. https://youtu.be/ZqOVzU9SISo
