Product Information

Take the stress out of your life by taking the cords off your shades! These insulating cellular shades feature an internal motor that raises and lowers the shade via remote control. You can program multiple shades to move with a single button, and even program a "favorite" partially open position of the shades (also with a single button push). Plus the cellular design helps keep cold air out in winter and hot air out in summer, helping to reduce your energy bills. No special wiring is required to install these shades, as they also have a rechargeable battery inside. How's that for a stress-free shade?

Get to know this shade:

  • Motor and rechargeable battery are hidden inside the top of the shade
  • Single cell honeycomb fabric has 3/8" pleats and is the same color front and back
  • Insulating cellular material has a high R-value of 3.4
  • Top and bottom rails are color coordinated to the shade and are semi-gloss PVC

Why you'll love this shade:

  • Remote control operation provides convenience and elegance without dangling cords or manual lifting
  • Control individual shades or group shades to operate simultaneously with the multi-functional/multi-channel remote
  • Rechargeable battery is long lasting, up to six months between charges – simply plug the cord into the shade for a few hours to recharge
  • Lower energy bills with year-round insulation against both outdoor heat and cold
  • Certified Best for Kids™ for child-safe use

Key considerations:

  • At least one remote and one charger are needed to operate the shade; multiple shades can be used with a single remote and charger
  • We recommend one remote per room to operate and organize groups of shades

How to Measure

How to Measure: Inside Mount

3 min read

INSIDE MOUNT:

Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window!  Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:

  • Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. The depth at the top of the window must be at least 1 3/4" to mount the brackets. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 2 1/4". If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.

How to Measure:

Let's start with the Width:

  • Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right to the nearest 1/8" at three places: at the top of the opening, the middle of the opening, and then the bottom of the opening. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the narrowest. If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8".  That is your ordering width.

Now, let's do the Height:

  • Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.

Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 3/8" to your shade's width to allow room for installation and for proper movement of the shade within the window opening. No deductions will be made to your height. 

How to Measure: Outside Mount

4 min read

Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 2 1/4" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets. The shade can be installed directly above the window opening, or higher up to give the appearance of a larger window and to have more clear space in the window when the shade is raised. 

If you have trim around the window, you can mount the shade above the trim, directly on the trim (if you have the required minimum flat space for the brackets), or to the sides of the trim if you do not have enough mounting space above the window or on the trim itself. See the directions below for how you'd like to install your shade.

If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.

Width:

  • Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance. 
  • Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.

Height: 

  • Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. The shade can be positioned higher up to give the appearance of a larger window and to have more clear space in the window when the shade is raised. 
  • Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

Width:

  • Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2" on either side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance. You can also choose to have the shade the same width as your window trim.
  • Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including any desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.

Height: 

  • Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. The shade can be positioned higher up to give the appearance of a larger window and to have more clear space in the window when the shade is raised. 
  • Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

Width:

  • Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim.  That is your ordering width.

Height: 

  • Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height.

Width:

  • Using a metal tape measure, measure left to right from the outside edge of the trim piece that goes around the glass to the other outside edge. That is your ordering width. However, if you have space, it is best to order the shade about 2" wider for better light control.

Height:

  • Consider how far above the window trim piece you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Measure down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below the window trim piece as you used above. That is your ordering height.

Note: We carry complimentary hold-downs (door brackets) which can be requested during the ordering process. These should be installed for a successful door mount as they secure the shade at the bottom of the door so that it does not swing when the door opens and closes.

    had a bit of difficulty getting it to work at first. Had to call customer service, and they were helpful getting the wire connected, then it worked perfectly.

  • Paul

    The shade is compact, quiet, easy to install and a great deal. Love it, those that see and try it are in awe. Blindster customer service is outstanding. I ordered three more for my living room.

  • Lamont

  • James

    Pery fit and better quality than my last purchase of a brand name.

  • Christina

    Best customer service and the blinds are exactly what I expected. I thought the valance part would be a bit bulky and take away from the look of our transom windows but they blend right in and when they are lowered, they are absolutely beautiful and the fit is perfect! Thank you Blindster!

  • Keseian,

    The installation was easy size was exact price was great

  • David

    Easy installation, great looking , very happy!

  • Jere

    As a first time cutomer, I was anxious. Ordered 3 shades for a bay window. Received order in the time frame identified and communication regarding shade production/status was great. Installation was easy and instructions were well written. Only concern is the center (larger) shade does not retract to the same height as the side shades. Difference is a full 1 1/4 inches. Attempted to modify factory retraction preset, but to no avail.
