WHAT IS A ROLLER SOLAR SHADE?

The IBuyBlinds Solar Shades lets in 1% of natural light, while filtering out the sun's heat.  They are a very modern alternative to a horizontal blind. These Solar Shades block out 99% of harmful UV rays.  They can be a great addition to a bedroom or living room. 

WHY CHOOSE A ROLLER SOLAR SHADE?

Roller Solar Shades allow you to adjust the natural light levels by simply pulling the chain. They reduce solar heat for energy savings and efficiency.  They are great for reducing glare on computer and TV screens. They protect interior furniture from fading and sun damage and their maintenance is easy.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Roller Solar Shades are operated by a side chain that allows you to open or shut the shades, letting in the amount of light desired. 

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE BLINDS I NEED?

There are two types of installation: Inside Mount and Outside Mount.

Inside Mount Measurement for Pleated Shades

Inside Mount Measurement for Pleated Shades is when the blinds are installed inside the window casing.

1. Measure the exact inside width, to the closest 1/8^th inch, of the window casing from the left inside edge to the right inside edge at the top, middle and bottom of the window. Record the narrowest measurement as this will be your ordering width.
2. Measure the exact inside height, to the closest 1/8^th inch, of the window casing from the top inside edge to the bottom inside edge at the left, middle and right side of the window. Record the longest measurement as this will be your ordering height.
3. Do not make any deductions on width for clearance; the manufacturing facility will make any necessary deductions to ensure the shade fits.

Outside Mount Measurement for Pleated Shades

Outside mount shades are installed outside the window casing, covering an area larger than the window opening itself.

1. Measure the exact width to be covered to the closest 1/8^th inch. Make sure the measurement overlaps the window opening by at least 2" - 3" on each side (4" - 6" total overlap) to ensure light control and privacy. Typically measured from the left outer edge of the window molding to the right outer edge. Please contact us if you have questions.
2. Measure the exact height to be covered to the closest 1/8^th inch, including the desired overlap. Typically measured from the top outer edge of the molding to the bottom outer edge of the molding. If you plan to install the shades above the molding, please ensure you add the necessary height to account for it.
3. The factory makes no deductions on outside mount shades.
