How do you clean this type of shade?
Asked by Colleen P ·
Hi Colleen, thank you for reaching out! We usually recommend that you just dust the shades. They can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth to remove stains.

I want to get these for a picture window. The total width is 111" but we have 2 side windows of 29.5 inches and then the middle is 52". First can the brackets be mounted on the top and second, how much smaller shall I order the blinds so that they fit OK next to each other?
Asked by Linda ·
Hi Linda, thank you so much for your question! These shades will be a top only mount, which will work perfectly for your installation. As far as a deduction, you will not want to make any deductions on your end. When you order, order these exact widths as an Inside Mount. On our inside mounts, the factory will automatically adjust these sizes on their end and take off approximately 1/4". This will allow you to butt the shades up side by side in the opening. Please note that the fabric will be narrower than the overall width of the cassette valance. The fabric will come in approximately 1 1/8" narrower (about 1/2 - 5/8" on each side).

Hello Donna, the closest color we offer is the Ivory color. I would recommend getting a free sample sent out as it is a light ivory color. The cassette and bottom rail are both white.

Would these be good for a bathroom? I want light to come in but also privacy.
Asked by Gail ·
Hi Gail, thank you for your interest. These can be a good option. You will want to make sure that these shades are in the "closed" position (solid vanes aligned on top of each other) so that it provides you with the privacy you need and still let light filter in. You are able to see through the mesh slat pieces.

What is the UV rating on these when semi open? I want to leave these with the filtered light coming in (not totally closed, but pulled down) without causing fading to the hardwood floors and furniture.
Asked by Janet ·
Hello Janet, thank you for your question! Our Light Filtering Zebra Sheer shades diffuse sunlight and helps filter out UV light and cut glare. Unfortunately, we do not have an exact UV rating for this product.

Is there a cassette finishing? Do you have a picture of the nylon vs. metal chain? Thank you
Asked by James S ·
Hi James, thank you so much for your question! Yes, there will be an ivory cassette valance. There is a picture of the nylon beaded chain in our photo gallery. These nylon beaded chains will come either white, vanilla, grey, or black (factory selected based on fabric color). The metal chain is silver metal.

Hi I watched the video for how these blinds are made - thanks for that suggestion, it helped me understand the shades. I do have a question re: their functionality. Can the shades be raised up when the slats are in an "open" position so that the slats are completely horizontal allowing light in through the sheers? (so the total blind is only lowered 1/2 way on the window format - can the shades be in both an open and closed slat position while the blind is not fully up or fully down)? I hope this makes sense.
Asked by Elizabeth T ·
Hi Beth, thank you for reaching out! Yes, these Zebra Sheer Shades will give you the flexibility to align the solid and mesh portion of the fabric however you need. You will be able to create a look that is shade half open with the mesh part of the vanes aligned so that you can see through. Please feel free to give us a call at 888-256-8672 for more details.

The Zebra Sheer Shades product info says they are made of a polyester fabric. The 2" & 3" Premium LF and RD shades product info says made of "knitted fabric". What is the type of knitted fabric used to make the Premium Sheer Shades? Thank you.
Asked by Brenda ·
Hello Brenda, thank you for your question. These are a polyester blend as well.

What is the difference between these Zebra Sheer Shades and the regular Sheer Shades?
Asked by Jenny W ·
Hi Jenny, thank you for your question! The best way I can describe a Sheer Shades is that it is like having a soft fabric horizontal blind. There will be 2 sheer pieces of fabric with a sheer or room-darkening vane of fabric slat in between. You open or close the shades and raise or lower the shades with a single continuous cord loop lift system. The Zebra Sheer shades are made with a single piece of material with alternating horizontal stripes of fabric: one sheer and one solid, in either light filtering or room darkening. This fabric is looped around a roller shade system so there are 2 layers of fabrics. To close the shades, position the solid stripes so that the front and back stripes block the view. The shade opens by aligning the solid stripes so that there are alternating stripes of solid and sheer fabric. These shades are also operated with a single continuous cord loop lift system.
