Can you order these so that one side is configured for inside mount and the other side for outside mount (configured for corner installation)?
Asked by Bob B ·
Hi Bob, Unfortunately that is a hard question to answer without seeing your project to better understand what is going on. When you get a moment please email in some images of the area you are working with to [email protected] and one of our agents would be more than happy to assist you there. Thank you for your time.

hello, Are these thermo as well as solar? looking for lake sunset protection, as well as winter winds
Asked by Diane ·
Hi Diane, Great question, the solar shades are NOT an insulating treatment against the cold weather. They are mainly used to help with the glare of the sun and providing UV blockage from the heat while still being able to see through the shade. A great and popular option for insulating is our cellular shades. Thank you for your time.

Do they come any longer? We have a window that is 12 feet tall.
Asked by Allie ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The premium shades come in a height up to 192". Unfortunately, the deluxe shades are not available at the taller height.

can these be used outside?
Asked by Lisa ·
Thank you so much for your interest! These shades cannot be used on the outside of your home. However, we do sell shades in our Exterior Shades category that can be used outside.

I just placed an order, I put in code: CELL40 and it said that discount was applied but the price did not reflect the 40% disc on Cellular shades?

Can you adjust the chain so that the blind rolls up to the valance? Mine leaves 8 inches out of the roller. Please tell me how to move the bead that stops the chain

Can I order a split shade (2 to lower/raise separately) with 1 valance? I'd like to install these in front of some sliding glass doors.
Asked by Christa ·
Thank you for your interest! The cassette valance cannot be made as a common valance. Each shade would have a separate valance that would be butted together. There is a fascia valance available that can be used as a common valance as long as the right shade has a right control and the left shade has a left control (which makes perfect sense on a sliding glass door). Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to order.

Can we have two independent shades on the same roller for a sliding glass door? We want one to be able to stay down while the sliding portion of the door is up.
Asked by James J ·
Thank you for your interest! In order to operate the shades separately they will need to be on separate rollers. There is a valance that can cover 2 shades but we don't have it on our website. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to get more information.

Can you see through these? It looks like they maintain privacy, which is what I would want since they would be in two bedrooms.
Asked by Mary H ·
Thank you for your interest! Yes, you can see through all of the light filtering solar shades. You can see out during the day and others can see inside at night when the light is on. The 1% openness does limit the view but you can still see. We always suggest that you get samples of the fabrics before ordering (they're free!). Then you can tape them to your window and see the privacy level for yourself.

I have 2 skylights that need solar shades. Is there a special mount that i need to order to install them on an angle?
Asked by Daly L ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Unfortunately, we don't sell anything that is specifically for skylights. Also, normal roller shades do not have an option for securing the bottom of the shade. In order to use a roller shade in a skylight you would need to order special channels to secure the shade. More than likely, you will have to get a local company to measure and install this product.
