Product Information
The saying goes that there can be too much of a good thing. That holds true for light too, especially when too much coming through your window is disruptive. Whether it's the glare on your TV screen or bright light keeping you awake, our Premium Blackout Roller Shades are your solution for toning down that light and getting to your happy place. With these shades, pull them down a bit or all the way to get just the right amount of light or none at all. Your hand-picked options let you take control just the way you want.

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 1 5/8" for shades without a cassette valance and 1 1/2" 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 between 2 1/8" and 4" (depending on roll diameter) for shades without a cassette valance and 4 3/8" 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 3/16" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.
The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1 1/4" – 1 7/16" 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 1/4" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets for shades without a cassette valance, or at least 4" 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 1/16" – 1 1/4" narrower than the ordered width (up to 5/8" 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: We offer magnetic hold-downs for this product 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.

Quick manufacturing and delivery; shipped well protected; excellent quality; easy to install; blackout feature great in the bedroom.
Kathy
Easy Installation, high quality, great color choices. This was my 5th time ordering shades from Blindster, I have never been disappointed.
Edwin
I ordered my first set and then two weeks latter ordered more Once you folks figured out I needed matching blinds to finish you raised the price by 40 to 50 dollars per blind for no reason What a shady way of doing business Ed Miller
Andrea
The quality is amazing and the price is 1/4 of what two other proposals. Although those proposals included installation and my blinds were installed by my family member. They are perfect - just as I hoped. I will be ordering more in the future.
Libby
We needed window coverings that would stand up to three badly-behaved cats, so something durable like roller shades was really the only option for us. We also needed blackout material for the four windows on the back of our house that gets blasted with afternoon sun, both because of the heat, and because it made our TV, situated between two of those windows, completely unusable while the sun set. These meet both needs at about half the price per window of the first vendor we looked at. The sizing is accurate, the quality and mechanics of the lift/lower are great (which we had concerns about on larger windows), and the overall finish is attractive. More material options would've been a plus, but these couldn't be beaten for price. We plan to order from Blindster again.
Stephanie
We ordered Grassy Knoll roller shades for the primary bedroom. I absolutely love them easy to install. Works like a charm definitely will order again 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Product was excellent and fit perfect after the first try failed from improper description of my window settings and bracketing need, but the company made it right and remanufactured a second blind that fit perfectly and we love it.

I couldn't be happier with my Desert Strom Cordless Roller Shades! The quality is outstanding, and the color perfectly captures the rustic vibe I was aiming for. They're truly amazing!
