We have to order a mix of the cordless / with cord light filtering zebra shades for the same room (due to the width available for the cordless option). Will the colors match and will the hanging brackets and headers be the same and match?
Asked by Brandon ·
Hi Brandon, yes, the color options are the same.

How do you clean these sheer light filtering shades?
Asked by Sue ·
You can use a feather duster, a vacuum with the soft brush attachment or spot clean with a gentle soap.
Answered by Blindster ·
Would you recommend the zebra blinds for a kitchen window behind the kitchen sink? How easy is it to clean? Is it waterproof?
Asked by Dana P ·
Hi Dana, these shades are not water proof and their delicate fabric can make them harder to clean.
Answered by Blindster ·
would these blinds work well on sliding glass doors?
Asked by Sue ·
Hi Sue, as long as they are lifted rather than moved over then yes, these should work fine.
Answered by Blindster ·
Is there a way to mount the blind on the inside of an interior door with a full glass panel? The doors are metal. I have one that is a single entry and one that is a French door with only one side opening like regular door and the other side is stationary. Thank you
Asked by Sandra K ·
Our inside mounts require at least 1 1/8" depth. So long as the amount required would allow the door to still function, you should be able to do an inside mount.

are the zebra shades available motorized?
Asked by Ed ·
Unfortunately no, our zebra shades are not currently available in motorized, but we're hoping to add more products to our motorized selection soon.

my window is 105 wide and 46 deep. I am trying to order blinds that would fit. Do you have any on your site that you recommend. I was looking at the sheer light filtering blinds. I am a regular customer and have been very pleased in the past with this product. Please let me know what you recommend. Thank you .
Asked by Alison G ·
Hi Alison, We truly appreciate you and your business. If you are looking for a sheer shade the max width any of our 2" Sheers go is 96" wide and considering how large your opening is we do highly suggest splitting that up anyways to help with the longevity of your controls. Bear in mind that when splitting up these shades when they butt up you will have roughly a 1 1/2" gap so you want where they meet to be in the middle of a mullion or trim. If you need further assistance with your project please do call in at 888-256-8672 anytime M- Th 8am- 7pm CT and F 8am- 5pm CT or email in with some images of your window to [email protected]. Thank you for your time.

I'm looking to replace wooden blinds and really like the look of these sheer shades. I'm concerned with the privacy level when closed at night. It's for a front window. Can you see silhouettes when looking in from the outside or will they provide total privacy?
Asked by Teresa C ·
Hi Teresa, The Sheer Shades are a privacy shade when the vanes are in the closed position but when a light is on inside and you are in front of the window you will be able to see a silhouette from the outside in. You won't be able to see through the shade but you will see movement. We do suggest getting some free samples of the fabric so that you can see it firsthand prior to purchasing. Thank you for your time.

I have other sheer shades from Hunter Douglas I believe. Talked to someone at your site the other day to inquire about same for a short but wide transom window in my living room. I have 2 questions. The lady I spoke with said I would have to move to a more expensive blind because of the short height. Why could I just not use ALL of the fabric height as I do in my other room and just drop it as far I needed???? The difference between 29" and 36" would not be very noticeable in the sheer fabric. Secondly, my other question would be about the availability of a longer cord for adjustment as this is indeed a transom and too high to reach. The salesperson indicated that a remote control would not be available so to have a cord which drops down longer would be necessary. I haven't measured but a good guess for cord length would be 40". I am aware that the sale ends today for your sale and the Rush Limbaugh promo. Hoping I can secure the sale as I am giving you this info on the 31st.
Asked by Bruce H ·
Hi Karen, Unfortunately when you order a sheer shade longer than the height the window is then the shade will not function properly. Remember that with sheers when you raise and lower the shade the vanes are in the shut position until you have the shade fully lowered to the given height then you can tilt the vanes opened and closed. The chains on the sheers can be requested longer as well with notes added to the order. We would suggest you call in anytime at 888-256-8672 M-Th 8am- 7pm CT and F 8am- 5pm CT when you are ready to place an order so that an agent can assist you with your project to make it easier. Thank you for your time and question.

Hello, Does the chain cord have rotator hardware at the end so you can mount it to the wall to keep the cord in place?
Asked by Joe ·
Hi Joe, Great question. Yes, the beaded chain control will have what we call a tensioner on the bottom of that chain which will need to be mounted to keep that chain taught and not dangling freely. Thank you for your time.
