Asked by Amit ·
Hello Amit, We do suggest getting one vertical blind. Your gap can be anywhere from 1" - 2" when having two vertical blinds in the window.

I want to use these on a window that already has top down, bottom up cellular shades (inside mount). But my neighbors cut down a tree that shaded the window, so I need a solar shade as well. I would outside mount it and include a valance. Can I get the shade's width built to the width of the window + the wood trim?
Asked by Leftcoast ·
Hello Nan, thank you for your question! Yes, your shade material will be made 1-1/2 inches narrower than the measurement you provide to allow for internal brackets on the roller tube. If you need your shade to cover a specific width (e.g. for mounting a shade on a door) add 1-1/2 inches to your ordered width for the desire fabric width. Please keep in mind that the width of your cassette will be 1 1/2" wider than your shade fabric. Please feel free to give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales, and we can help you further, if needed, with this application.

how much privacy do these blinds offer? I'm looking for a blind that is street facing and with lights on in the living room, will someone be able to see through the blind?
Asked by Ange ·
Hi Ange, thank you for your question! These shades will not give you complete privacy and you will still be able to see out to some degree. At night time, when the lights are on inside the house, it will allow people from the outside the ability to see in a small amount. We do offer samples of this product if you would like to see this material first, just to make sure it will fit your needs.

I have sliding glass enclosed lanai. How do they install on an inside mount: at the end of the rollers, or against the window frame?
Asked by Mary ·
Hello Mary, thank you for reaching out! On these solar shades, if you order them WITHOUT the cassette valance they will have 2 brackets that are installed on either end of the roller tube. If you add on the cassette valance, then the brackets that you receive will be for a top mount that will mount inside to the "ceiling" part of the window opening.

can people outside see through these shades?
Asked by Joyce D ·
Hello Joyce, thank you for your question! Yes, this 10% openness will allow a pretty good view through the material. What you are able to see out during the day, will be the same amount a person on the outside will see in, especially at night time if the lights are on.

Do I order true to size or do I take some off for the width? My measurements are 41 1/2 width x 40 1/2 length.
Asked by Lynn G ·
Hello Lynn, thank you for your question! For the inside mount, please provide us with the exact size of your window opening. The factory will automatically take a deduction off of the window opening size that you provide. Please provide the exact width of the TOP of your window opening for solar shades.

What color is the street-side of the shade? For example, it is the same fabric as the front of the shade or is it white?
Asked by Julie ·
Hi Julie, thank you for your question! This shade is made up of one piece of material and the pattern is the same on the front and back.

Hi Bill, thank you for your question. It can vary, but it will be about 1/2" - 3/4" on each side.
