I would like motorized solar shade for my 114 x 74 3/4 sliding window but I don't see the dimension available to fit my window. Is it possible to install two shades for this large window?
Asked by Gloria ·
Hi Gloria, yes you can butt two shades together in the window.

Are these rated for outdoor use (screened porch)?
Asked by Robert K ·
Hi Robert, we do not recommend these for outside use. We have Exterior Solar Shades that are better suited for that use.

Which shades are best for keeping light in the home but outsiders not seeing in.
Asked by Leslie P ·
Hi Leslie, with all Solar Shades, people will be able to see in. We do not have any products that allow you to see out but don't allow others to see in. I would recommend a light filtering roller shade if you would like to let light in but retain privacy.

Hi, I have a 10-foot wide window that I want to cover with three shades next to each other. Is this possible with the mounting brackets? It appears that the brackets mount to the sides of the window and not from the top. And if this is possible, how do I measure so there is not such a large gap in between the shades?
Asked by Blake L ·
Hi Blake, these are mounted from the top of the window so yes, you would be able to do that. Just measure from the edge of the window to where you want an individual shade to cover - they'll need about a 1/4" between each other. If you choose inside mount, you do not need to make deductions in between the shades, we will take care of that. We do recommend that you put in the notes of the product that the shades will be mounted in the same window.

When you come out with the smart home compatible remote, will that will work with blinds that were already purchased recently?

Hi Scott, at this time we do not have an answer to that. I do apologize.

Hello, I have traditional casement windows, which appear to force a outside mount, i.e. above the window molding and then roll down to cover the window molding on the sides? Is this how I would measure for casement windows (outside of trim for Width and Height? If so what is used to cover the unit at the top? Thanks.
Asked by Brad J ·
Hi Brad, you'll measure the area you want covered, so if you want the trim covered, you would measure from each outside edge of the trim. If you only want to cover a portion, measure from the edge of the portion you want covered to the other edge. As for height, you'll need 1 1/2" of flat space, so you'll need to measure from the top of the molding above the window to the bottom. Then add at least 1 1/2" to the height but we recommend adding 3" because with solar shades, you never have to roll them all the way if they're longer than the window, but better safe than sorry. As for the unit on top, you can leave it as is with the roll or order a cassette valance to go with it.
Answered by Blindster ·
For an inside mount , how much depth is required for a motorized shade to be installed. I have about 2 inches.
Asked by Don ·
Hi Don, 3/4" without a cassette valance, 1 1/2" with a cassette valance.

Do the roll shades have a soft open feature?
