I have a large picture window that measures 100 and 3/4 inches. I was hoping to purchase some sheer shades for it but it looks as though the maximum width available is 96". What are my options?
Asked by Susan G ·
Hi Sue, You are correct, the max width on this Sheer Shade is 96". When it comes to larger windows you would have to split them up in sections. If you have a double window then you'd split into 2 sections and if it's a picture window then you'd split the shade in 3 sections. You just want to make sure that the gap between them will be where there is mullion or trim so that you don't have an issue with light leakage or privacy. I would suggest once you are ready to order to give us a call at 888-256-8672 anytime M-T 8am- 7pm CT and F 8am- 5pm CT and one of our awesome agents would be more than happy to assist you. Thank you for your time.

Do you make this type of shade in a vertical blind for a patio door
Asked by Dallison ·
Hello Dallison, We do not have a way at this time to make the 2" sheer shades as a vertical product. The only product we have for vertical doors are our Vertical blinds.

I have just moved into a home with these shades/blinds and they are filthy. What is the best way to clean them, and how do you remove them to clean them?
Asked by Carolyn ·
Hello Carolyn, For these types of shades the best thing to use when cleaning them is a vacuum with a small brush attachment.

First Question: In the specification section it indicates that 3 5/8 inches are required for an inside flush mount. In the measuring instructions, 3 7/8 inches are specified. Both are deeper than the standard window depth. What is the actual depth of the head rail? The measurements indicated will not work for standard windows. Second Question: The measuring instructions indicate that I am to subtract 3/8 inch from the shortest height measurement and you will add back the 3/8 inch for the final shade length. That has me concerned. Am I interpreting that correctly? I don't want to end up with the shades too short. Thank you
Asked by Laura ·
Hello Laura, The inside mount flush requirement would be 3 7/8" and the minimum you need to mount them securely would be 1'. to answer your Second question yes you will take of 3/8" for the shortest height measurement because when the shade is in the open position that 3/8" will be covered because the shade is longer in the open position when the shade is in the closed positon it will be 3/8" shorter so there will be some gap on the bottom.

do these cordless ones operate exactly like the one with a beaded cord? I ordered the beaded cord and would rather have cordless if it is easier to operate.
Asked by Donna S ·
Hello Donna, The Cordless Zebra shades do have an easy operation to them. The only thing we tell customers to keep in mind is that you need to be able to reach the top of your window to pull the shades down. If you can not do that then cordless would not be a good option.

Is the color the same on both the window and room sides of the shade?
Asked by Tracy ·
Thank you so much for your interest! Yes, the shades look the same from the outside or inside of the house.

What's the minimum depth needed for an inside mount?
Asked by AK ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The minimum depth required for this product is 3/4". Part of the shade would extend outside the window opening. To mount flush (everything inside the window) would require 3 5/8".

We just bought a new house that had existing zebra shades How do I clean them?
Asked by Susan T ·
Not answered yet.
Hi, I have received my sheer shades and I love the way they look. The only part of the shades that I do not like is the mounts. I had to mount the shades from the top and the silver mounts are very, very noticeable. I have vaulted ceilings and a room that overlooks the shades and the metal mounts are completely visible. Is there anything that I can cover the mounts with? Any suggestions as to what I can do? Thank you, Heidi
Asked by Heidi ·
I'm sorry you aren't happy with your sheer shades. I will call you to see what we can do under our Satisfaction Guarantee. The Premium Sheer Shades have a white bracket that is less noticeable.
