Blinds Common Window Blinds Questions Archive Common Window Blinds Questions Trapezoid Cellular Shades - Trapezoid Window Blinds Q: I have a trapezoidal window-right side higher than the left. Can I get a cellular blind or another type of blind? Read Answer » Solar Screen Shades - Roller Shades - Solar Shades Q: Hi, I am interested in solar shades for my living room area. We live in the mountains at almost 8000 feet. The sun is very strong here! The sun reflecting off the snow is very intense. I would like to keep the view but cut the glare and make it so I don't have a headache during the day from squinting b/c it is so bright. I think solar shades are the way to go. I am very concerned about indoor air quality so I would like the ones that are the safest. I cannot find any info about the VOC's and the composition of your ecogreen solar shades on your website. Also what is the openness of these solar shades? When we bought this house it had the cheap Walmart vinyl blinds and they were twisted and partially melted from the intense sun in these windows. Given that, what is the warranty on these shades? Does a darker color vs. a lighter color matter?

Read Answer » Horizontal Fabric Shades - Insulating Blinds Q: I was at JcPenney yesterday and found a very clever blind/shade hybrid which looked like a cell shade ordinarily, but could be adjusted such that each individual cell would fold onto itself and become a blind if desired. It was made by "Linden Street". I am curious to know if you have anything similar or can help define that type (search term?). Also, I liked some of the top down/bottom up style.
