Product Information
Classic and timeless, this pleated shade complements all types of decor and can instantly make any room feel warm and welcoming. The soft, neutral fabrics gently filter sunlight into the room. There are two fabric styles to choose from. Our crisp, classic Oxford fabric features a tight weave and smooth texture that provides great light filtering and privacy. The Linen fabric allows in a bit more light vs Oxford, and has a natural woven look with a beautiful texture. To operate the shade, just push or pull on either the top or bottom of the shade. There are no bothersome and unsightly cords to deal with and it's safer for kids and pets.
Get to know this shade:
- Fabric is the same color on the front and back and is made from durable 100% woven polyester
- Shade is formed into crisp 1" fabric pleats
- PVC headrail and bottomrail color-coordinate to your selected shade color
Why you'll love this shade:
- Top-down/bottom-up shade provides natural light and retains privacy for windows facing the street or neighbors' homes
- Cordless operation means easy lifting of the shade, no messy dangling cords, and is a safer product for small children
- Pleated design creates intriguing textural interest in the window, and shade stacks neatly when raised
- Light filtering fabric softens bright incoming light and helps distribute light more evenly in the room while providing privacy
- Meets all CPSC child safety guidelines
Key considerations:
- Cordless shade is opened by pulling on the top or bottom of the shade – be sure you can reach the top of your window
- Bottom and top of shade can be operated independently, however top of shade can be lowered only about half the length of the shade regardless of position of bottom of shade; bottom of shade can be fully raised when top of shade is also fully raised

How to Measure
How to Measure: 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 1/2" 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 3/8". 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
3 min read
Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 2" 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 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.

I ordered three custom Deluxe Cordless Light Filtering Pleated Shades thinking I was ordering the Deluxe Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Pleated Shades. I didn't realize my error until my shades were already made and shipped. I reached out to customer service and they informed me that under their Satisfaction Guarantee policy they would remake up to 3 shades! All I had to do was pay the difference for the more expensive shades. So they remade my shades and delivered them to me in exactly two weeks. I didn't even have to return the other shades I ordered by mistake. I am very impressed with their customer support team especially Maribel and Kim. They responded to my emails promptly and professionally. Wow. I am in the process of ordering more shades for the rest of the house. Their shades are great quality and easy to install. Just look how beautiful they are!

I had never heard of this type of shade before, but it is perfect for our application in a bathroom where we can get privacy on the bottom and light on the top. They are pricey with our long windows and the wait time was a bit long, but a great product.

The color, fit and easy opertion of these top down - bottom up shades were the perfect choice for the office. Ordereing was was easy. Shipping and tracking information was provided. Install was a cinch. Will use your company again.
