can this shade be mounted to the ceiling just above the window
Asked by Wendy ·
Hi Wendy, thank you for your question! Yes, the Premium Textured Solar Shades can be installed as ceiling mounts. Depending on the shade configuration, you will need at least 1 1/2" and up to 2 5/8" of flat space to install the shades. If you'd like to discuss your installation needs in more detail, feel free to contact us at [email protected] or give us a call at 1-888-256-8672 (Mon–Fri, 8a–5p CST).

What is the best option between standard roll and reverse roll for a picture window for solar shade?
Asked by MELODY H ·
Hi Melody, thank you for your question! The best option will usually come down to appearance and possible window obstructions. The standard roll places the fabric closer to the window which can help minimize light gaps and provide a cleaner look. The reverse roll allows the fabric to roll off of the front of the shade which can be beneficial if you have handles, cranks, or other obstructions that the fabric needs to clear. Let us know if you have any further questions!

how much does a 36" X 36" roller shade (outside installation) weigh ?
Asked by Kyle R ·
Hi Kyle! A small roller shade typically weighs under 5 pounds, however many variables can change that weight. Adding things like a decorative fabric wrapped fascia or motorized lift can increase the weight by a couple of pounds. Feel free to reach out to us at www.blindster.com/contact-us with the specific features you're interested in selecting, and we can help you get a closer estimate.

It says these are "textured" - what is the texture like? Is it like grasscloth (kind of reedy and grassy), or just textured cloth? (Is it a texture cats are likely to find attractive, for anyone who might know?) Thanks!!
Asked by Amy ·
Hello Amy, thank you for reaching out regarding our Premium Textured Solar Shades. The best thing I believe to compare it to may be a fabric placemat. If you have any further questions please feel free to give us a call!

I have two questions: 1) For a tall window, how long is the nylon beaded chain? Can I specify how long the chain is ( I have a window that is over a bench, so that you have to reach over the bench to the chain)? 2) Ideally, I would like an inside mount solar shade, but I want to mount it partway up the window frame, not at the very top. So the brackets would have to mount to the sides of the window frame; is this possibel? Thanks!
Asked by Rick S ·
Hello Rick, thank you for your question! You will have the side mount option with these shades as long as a fascia is NOT ordered. The chain length on the Continuous Cord Loop will be 2/3 the height ordered + 6". So if your height is 60" your chain length will be approximately 46".

My window is 62 inches wide. then I have 2 1/4 inch molding all the way around the window. I want outside mount with valance. What should I order in width?
Asked by Linda ·
Hello Linda, thank you for your question. If you are wanting to mount on the molding I would add an additional 4" to the width. The cassette will come in at the exact width ordered and the fabric will come in approximately 5/8 - 3/4" on either side.

I'm looking at the premium exotic solar shades. Is there a place I can select the level of openness?
Asked by Cassie ·
Hello Cassie, Every material in this collection comes with its own level of openness. You will have to select the material and then look at the material content and it will state what the % is. Percentages can not be changed.
