Our Deluxe Blackout Roller shade is designed to block 100% of incoming light through the fabric to give you maximum light and privacy control. This wonderful shade makes your room darker and cozier when needed, but also cooler by limiting direct sunlight in the summer. With so many custom options to choose from, plus the promise of a good night’s sleep or the ability to sit back and enjoy a movie in a darkened room, what’s not to love?
Get to know this shade:
- Polyester fabric has a subtle woven texture for great looks, yet is durable and easy to clean
- White acrylic backing blocks all light from passing through the shade and provides neutral streetside appearance
- Choose between no-cost beaded chain or cordless lift systems
- Upgrade to our Cordless Precision Lock, a new innovative lift system utilizing a balance spring mechanism that accurately moves shade to the desired height, or our modern motorized operation allowing up to 6 shades on one remote
- Complete your look with optional cassette valance that hides the fabric roll and blocks additional light at the top of the shade
Why you'll love this shade:
- Too-bright rooms are a thing of the past with 100% blackout fabric that works – and looks – great!
- Odor free, non-toxic fabric provides maximum light blocking and privacy

Key considerations:
- The fabric on the shade will always be about 1 1/2" narrower than the width you order due to the operating mechanisms and brackets at the top of the shade
- Shades over 94" wide AND 82" tall require a seam in the fabric* – see below for more details
- Fabric blocks any light from coming through the shade, you may still have indirect light coming through the window and around the shade

How to Measure
How to Measure: Inside Mount
3 min read
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. To mount the brackets, the depth at the top of the window must be at least 2 1/4" for shades without a cassette valance and 2 5/8" for shades with a cassette valance. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3" without a cassette valance and 3 1/2" for shades with a cassette valance. 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 at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". 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 1/8" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.
The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" – 1 1/2" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric). When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product.
No deductions will be made to the ordered 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 1 1/2" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets for shades without a cassette valance, or at least 2" for shades with a cassette valance. Follow the directions below for where 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.
Your ordered width will be the "tip to tip" measurement, which is the widest part of the top of the shade including the brackets and cassette valance (if applicable). The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" – 1 1/2" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" on each side. If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider – just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade.
Width:
- Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" 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. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
- 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.

- 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.
Note: The shade fabric may rub against the trim when operating. If your trim is more than 1/2" thick, consider adding shims (not included) under the brackets for additional clearance. If your trim is 3/4" or thicker, we recommend ordering the shade with the reverse roll option.
Width:
- We don't normally recommend mounting roller shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the bracket to bracket measurement which cannot exceed the width of your trim. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim.
- 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.
- Note that the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than your ordered 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 2-3" 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: This product is not available with hold down brackets (for attaching the bottom of the shade to the door to prevent swaying). We recommend considering a different product if installing on a door where the bottom of the shade is likely to swing back and forth.

So far dealing with Blindster has been 5 star service. Highly recommend doing business with them. Blinds install with easy, however have not had the opportunity to use yet. Installation was in our 5th wheel rv.
Rhonda
Love the color and quality. Two of the 6 were a bit too wide. We took the plastic end caps off and they seem to be fine.
Marcelo
Material and quality of product is exceptional, I've had roller shades in past that sprung up to roller frequently. Your shade works as advertised., I'm very happy and highly recommend this product
Trudy
The shade is good quality and easy to hang.
Jeff
This is the second motorized blackout roller shade I have ordered from this company. Installation is straightforward and the shade works as advertised. It keeps the room cooler and blocks out a good deal (maybe 70-80%) of the light. (I ordered white). For this order, I had a transom window that was 14 feet off the ground. I did my best trying to measure the opening, but ended up ordering a shade that was 1/2 inch too wide for the opening. I fessed up to my mistake with customer service, and they said “no problem, we will remake it for you to the new (correct this time) measurements. No charge except for shipping. New shade fits perfectly and looks great. They fixed MY mistake (not theirs) and had the new shade to me in about 2 weeks. I’m impressed.
Brian
We are very happy with our purchase as of now! My husband installed them in our RV and it worked very well. We were also happy with all contacts leading up to receiving our order. This is a company I highly recommend!
Dirk
I ordered fabric blackout roller shades, and they are great. They really cut down the light, except of course along the sides where some light can still sneak in. But it has been awesome at reducing the glare on the TV in the living room. One of the blinds did not fit the window, but Blindster made a new one and sent it out which fit perfectly. The customer service representative was helpful and accomodating.
Sebastian
Once we got our first one I realized that it was broken. I contacted them and they sent me up to get a new one free of charge. Once the second one came it fit perfectly. Looked beautiful and was exactly what we were looking for. Planning on ordering more for other windows.
Beth
Great product and a great price.
Samuel
Ordered blinds were a perfect fit, easy to install, and worked exactly as it should. Will definitely be a repeat customer in the future.
