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 ¼" 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 ½" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets for shades without a cassette valance, or at least 2 7/8" 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 ½" 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.

Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades for Everyday Comfort
Motorized deluxe light-filtering fabric roller shades are designed to bring practical functionality to everyday routines with a clean, modern aesthetic that works across a wide range of window treatments. These roller shades are custom-made to support a perfect fit at the window frame and help create a calm look that complements interior design choices in living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades offer a streamlined approach compared to bulkier window shades, giving you a minimalist design that keeps the focus on the space rather than the hardware. If you want a coordinated look, the available fabric options make it easier to match finishes and create a consistent style throughout the home.
Light Filtering Fabric That Preserves Natural Light Without Glare
Light-filtering fabric is ideal when you want natural light without the harshness of direct sunlight. This filtering fabric supports reducing glare on screens while still maintaining brightness that keeps the room comfortable during the day. It can also help limit solar heat gain and reduce exposure to harmful UV rays, offering excellent UV protection for flooring and furniture. For spaces where you want a brighter feel but still need privacy, light filtering delivers a practical balance, and it can also protect interiors from the strongest midday sunlight.
Light Control Made Easy With Motorized Shades and Remote Control
Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades make it easy to adjust your coverage throughout the day for customizable control of light, whether you want more daylight or more privacy. The smooth lift system helps you easily adjust positioning, and a cordless design removes dangling cords for a cleaner look and safer use. For homeowners comparing operation types, a continuous cord loop is often used on manual systems, while motorized lift options focus on effortless changes with consistent results. If you need a darker option for media rooms, our Motorized Deluxe Blackout Fabric Roller Shades are available for customizable light control when complete coverage is the priority.
Light Filtering Roller Shades as the Perfect Match for Modern Spaces
Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades are a smart choice when you want a clean look that blends with modern and transitional décor. They can create a perfect balance between privacy and brightness while preserving outdoor views, which is especially helpful in living rooms where you want daylight without harsh glare. This style fits a wide range of modern spaces and helps keep the room feeling open, rather than closed off by heavier window treatments. If you are trying to build a cohesive look from room to room, Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades make it easier to create a consistent style with minimal visual clutter.
Reliable Performance With Filtering Fabric and Long Lasting Full Charge
Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades are built for reliable day-to-day use, with a smooth feel that supports predictable positioning and a comfortable routine. The system is designed to work well after each full charge, keeping operation consistent over time and making the upgrade feel genuinely convenient. The battery charge typically lasts up to six months when operating the shades twice a day. An included charger plugs into the wall for a fast recharge when needed. For care, wipe the shade gently with a damp cloth to keep the filtering fabric looking fresh.
FAQ
How do motorized deluxe light filtering fabric roller shades compare to blackout roller shades?
Motorized deluxe light filtering fabric roller shades are designed to soften brightness while still providing privacy and letting natural light into the room, which helps maintain a comfortable daytime feel. Blackout roller shades are better when full darkness is the goal, such as for sleeping or media use. Both options are part of the broader roller shades category, but they serve different needs depending on how much control of light you want.
What are the benefits of a cordless lift on modern roller shades?
A cordless lift improves safety and creates a cleaner appearance by removing hanging cords. On motorized deluxe light filtering fabric roller shades, a cordless design also supports smoother operation and a more refined look around the window frame. This setup helps achieve a perfect fit while keeping the window area uncluttered.
How does light filtering fabric affect the home's ambiance?
Light filtering fabric helps balance privacy and brightness by reducing glare while still allowing daylight to pass through. This approach enhances the home's ambiance by keeping rooms bright without harsh light. It is especially effective in spaces where comfort and visibility are equally important.
Are these shades custom-made and factory tested?
Yes, Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Fabric Roller Shades are built to order and checked at the factory to ensure reliable performance. Details like careful assembly and easy installation help roller shades fit properly and operate smoothly over time, giving you consistent results from installation onward.

Rick
The quality and fit of the shades are great. The instructions and directions were lacking some very serious steps and pointers.
Steven
I requested a cloth sample, it arrived and was just what I needed, dispersed light with no hot spots. Measurement instructions were very good, and the powered shade arrived in perfect order. Install was easy, dimensions were perfect. I plan on purchasing additional shades from these folks.
Bob
I ordered two 6' shades for my sliding glass doors at the Russian River in California. They are a great addition to my living room.
David
Love the shade….custom cut perfectly….ridiculously easy to install and it looks great! Wish I had discovered years ago!
Ron
My wife said we need shades to filter the hot sun on three South-facing windows. The price quote from a local retail store was ridiculous! Blindster to the rescue! The perfect product, perfect fit, easy DIY installation, great customer service (ordering advice)... all at one-quarter of the original locally quoted price! My wife is happy, and I'm the hero! Thanks, Blindster!
Lydia
Love how the light filters in softly, they’re super sleek, and the custom size fits my window perfectly. Installation was a breeze!
