So what is the difference between a deluxe solar shade and a premium solar shade?
Asked by Richard L ·
Hi Rich! So the primary difference is that our Premium Solar shades are made from Phifer Sheerweave fabrics, which are Greenguard certified as well as bacteria and fungus resistant. The deluxe solar shades are made from Vertilux, which are the same quality but not Greenguard certified or bacteria and fungus resistant. Aside from that, the Premium product can be selected at a longer width and and height and has more color options. The Deluxe is your standard roller shade with standard options.

Hi - I have windows where the glass goes all the way to the ceiling. Would I be able to install these without resorting to installation shenanigans?
Asked by Mike g ·
Hi there. To be honest, unless you have a large ladder, with such big windows, it might be easier to hire someone to do the installation. If you believe you have the right tools and ability to get the job done, then by all means, do it to it!

I have an atrium and I'm looking to install blackout solar shades on the 'ceiling' glass. Do you have tracks for the solar shades to run in (similar to the tracks used for skylight shades)?
Asked by Mike ·
Hello Mike, We do not have a track system like skylight shades.
Answered by Blindster ·
Can these shades be manufactured for use in a skylight?
Asked by Alicia ·
Hello Alicia, We do not have any products on our site that can accommodate skylight windows at this time.

Thank you so much for your interest! Shipping is included in the price as long as your width is less than 94" wide. We have a $5.95 handling fee and you only pay tax if you ship to an address in Texas.

The metal chains on all 20 of the blinds I bought are breaking left and right. What are the sizes (not the length) of the chains? I will need to buy connectors to put them back together.
Asked by David ·
I'm sorry you are having problems with your shades. I will call you to get this resolved.

Are the blackout solar shades good for exterior use, as along the walls of my swimming pool screened cage?
Asked by Donna H ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, we don't have any blackout shades that are suitable for outdoor use. The only products we have for outdoor use are the Exterior Solar Shades in 5% or 10% openness.

at night with the bedroom light on can they see in when the solor blackout shades are down
Asked by BILL ·
Thank you for your interest! Anything on our website labeled blackout is totally opaque and give you privacy. The solar shades with an openness factory do not provide privacy. The only concern with roller shades (of any kind including solar shades) is that the fabric width will be 1" to 1 1/2" less than the ordered width. The fabric width of the Deluxe Solar Shades (blackout or open) will be 1 1/2" less than the ordered width. The Premium Solar Shades have a variable fabric deduction that varies by size (usually around 1"). This means that the light gaps on the side are wider than they would be if you ordered a cellular shades, roman shade with blackout liner or bamboo shades with blackout liner. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more definite information.

When you are outside, can you see in the room when the shade is down?
Asked by Linda D ·
Thank you for your interest! You cannot see through the fabric. Any product on our website with the term blackout in the title is completely opaque. However, there will be gaps on the side of the fabric if you mount them inside the window. The fabric will be 1 1/2" less than the ordered width.
