How do you clean these shades?
Asked by Sally ·
Thank you for your interest! We usually recommend that you just dust the shades. They can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth to remove stains.
Answered by Blindster ·
Do you have blinds, preferably for arched windows?
Asked by Michael B ·
Thank you for your interest! Many of our products can be mounted in arched windows but none of them will cover the arch part except shutters. Our shutters can be made to fit an arched window. You will need to call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales to speak with one of our shutter experts.

What is the recommended way to clean these blinds? We have a cat that likes to sit on the window sills, so I'm concerned about cat hair sticking to these.
Asked by Rita K ·
Thank you for your interest! I would recommend dusting with a Swiffer type duster.

Thank You Becky. Whats the difference between the two. Horizontal Flat and Premium Sheer Shades. I'm looking for shades similar to https://www.hunterdouglas.com/pirouette where they fabric insert the shade folds gives a different look with matching valance of the same color. Interested in light grey color.
Asked by Sam ·
Thank you so much for your interest! The answer isn't simple but here goes... The Premium and Deluxe Sheer Shades are comparable to the Silhouette shades made by Hunter Douglas. These shades have 2 sheer pieces of fabric with a sheer or room darkening vane of fabric slat (comparable to a horizontal blind wood or fauxwood slat but made out of fabric) in between. You open or close the shades and raise or lower the shades with a single continuous cord loop lift system. The Priouette shades have only a single piece of sheer fabric (on the back). As far as I know you can only purchase the Pirouette shades from Hunter Douglas (still under patent). The Horizontal Flat Sheer Shades are very different from either of these products. These shades are made with a single piece of fabric 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. You close the shades by positioning the solid stripes of fabric so that the front and back stripes block the view. You open the shades 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. Please call one of our sales agents at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales for more information.

If I get a grey color sheer shade what will the valance color be. Do you have any pictures set on a window with the grey color?
Asked by Sam ·
Thank you for your interest! The cassette valance is the color Ivory on the Horizontal Flat Sheer Shades (Light Filtering and Blackout). Our Premium Sheer Shades have a white cassette valance with a fabric insert (matches the fabric you ordered).

My window is 96 inches wide. What can I do to get one of these shades?
Asked by Rosemarie ·
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, the Horizontal Flat Sheer Shades Light Filtering are only available in widths up to 94". You can put 2 or 3 shades (depends on whether you have 2 or 3 windows in the opening) side by side in the window. Just measure your overall window opening width. If your windows are all equal, you can just divide by 2 or 3 (depending on how many shades you are putting in the window). The individual measurements should add back up to the overall total width measurement. If the windows are not equal, measure from the middle of the mullion (divider between the windows) to the outside of the window frame on the outside windows. Then measure the middle window by going from center mullion to center mullion. Again, the individual measurements should add back up to the overall total width measurement. One of our sales agents will be happy to help you at 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales.

Do you have them with blackout ? Thank you beforehand for your answer. Best regards
Asked by Aurelie B ·
Thank you for your interest! The Room Darkening Shades are made of fabric that has strips of opaque fabric. Light will not penetrate that part of the fabric. However, the alternating sheer strips do let in light. These shades are made of a fabric that alternates sheer strips with fabric stripes (the room darkening fabric strips are opaque). There is a loop of fabric that creates 2 layers in your window. You close the shades by positioning the opaque fabric strips on both layers of fabric so that they are aligned to block out the light. The effect is not a complete blackout when the shades are closed because residual light will filter through the gaps in the fabric. That is why we call it room darkening instead of blackout. You can watch the "How they are made" video to see how the horizontal flat sheer shades operate (at the end of the video). I apologize if this is confusing. This is easier to explain over the telephone. Please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales.

How do you adjust the stripes? Individually or by cord?
Asked by Granny H ·
Thank you for your interest! You adjust the stripes by moving a continuous cord loop control. This control is a circular cord that stays the same length as it is adjusted. It is used to adjust the stripes as well as raise and lower the shades. For more detailed information, please call 888-256-8672, option 1 for sales.
Answered by Blindster ·
Do these blinds open all the way to the top so that we can get a breeze from the screens? Also, can we get a left side pull and a right side pull if we order two different shades?
Asked by Jacqueline M ·
Thank you so much for your interest! These shades will raise up to hang just below the bottom of the cassette valance. The valance covers about 4" of the top of the window. Yes, you can choose to have the cords on either side.
