Headrail
 
2 on 1 Headrail
Question?

Most of our blinds and shades feature a single, sleek headrail for a clean, unified look. However, we offer versatile options to accommodate various window sizes and styles:
  • Standard Single Headrail: Ideal for most windows. Clean, streamlined appearance.
  • Multi-Blind Headrails: Recommended for larger windows. Helps manage weight and ensures smooth operation.
    • "2 on 1" Headrail: Two blinds sharing one headrail
    • "3 on 1" Headrail: Three blinds on a single headrail
These options allow you to customize your window treatments for optimal functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring the best operation and a perfect fit for any window in your home.
Lift Control
 
x Continuous Cord Loop LiftThis lift option has a looping lift cord adjacent to the shade. The fabric/material is narrower on the control side allowing the control to hang to the side without interfering with the lift of the shade. Shades with Continuous Cord Loop option may have a light gap on black-out shades.

Multiple Blinds on a Shared Headrail
Because large blinds and shades can be heavier and more difficult to raise and lower, the 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail option allows two or three smaller shades to share one common headrail and valance. This creates a cleaner, more streamlined look across wider windows.

A small 1/4" to 1/2" gap between adjacent shades is normal and required for proper operation.

Note: Motorized lift is not available with the 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail configuration.
Continuous Cord Loop
This lift option has a looping lift cord adjacent to the shade. The fabric/material is narrower on the control side allowing the control to hang to the side without interfering with the lift of the shade. Shades with Continuous Cord Loop option may have a light gap on black-out shades.

Note: Cell shade continuous cord loop headrails are color coordinated to match your shades but may not be an exact match.

« Back
This is a forum to ask product related questions that will be answered by our design consultants. If you have a question regarding an order or a customer service issue, please call us at (480) 470-1127 or use our contact form.

FAQs: Economy Light Filtering Cell Shades



What is the size of the headrail?

The headrail dimensions are 2 1/4" D x 1 1/2" H



What are the minimum depth requirements for inside mount?

Minimum mounting depth and flush mounting depth may vary by the lift control and other options. Please check our specifications based on your configuration.
Our standard lift configuration has the following minimum mounting depths:
Minimum mounting depth: 1.250"
Minimum flush mounting depth: 2.500"



How fast is production for these Window Shades?

Production is typically 4-6 Day(s) .



What does "light filtering" mean for cellular shades?


“Light filtering” means the shade diffuses sunlight gently into the room. It softens glare and bright daylight while still providing privacy, without completely darkening a space as blackout fabrics do.


Are these shades energy efficient?


Yes. The honeycomb cell design traps air within each pocket, creating insulation that helps reduce heat transfer through the window and can lower energy costs.


What operating systems are available for this economy series?


The Economy Light Filtering Cell Shades feature multiple lift options, including cordless lift and top-down/bottom-up, so you can choose full privacy or daylight from above while maintaining coverage below.


Do the shades come with mounting hardware?


Yes. Standard inside-mount and outside-mount hardware is included, making installation straightforward for most window openings.


Is there a minimum depth required for an inside mount?


Yes, check the Headrail & Mounting Depth specifications to confirm your window recess can accommodate the shade and headrail for a flush inside look.


How do I determine the correct size to order for an outside mount?


For outside mount, measure the full area you want to cover and add enough overlap on all sides (typically 2–3 inches) to minimize light gaps and ensure better privacy and insulation.


Can these shades be installed on doors or sliders?


Yes. They can be used on patio doors and sliding glass doors; however, consider optional hold-down brackets (if offered) to keep the shade steady during frequent operation and movement.


Are color and fabric texture consistent from batch to batch?


While we strive for consistency, slight variations can occur between production batches. Ordering free fabric samples is recommended to confirm how the shade will look in your specific lighting and space.


What warranty comes with Economy Light Filtering Cell Shades?


These shades include a 3-year warranty, with an option to upgrade to a 5-year warranty at checkout.

I can get a top down bottom up economically. I priced another budget brand locally and they couldn’t touch the great price from Blinds Chalet. Nancy and Shannon were great to work with. I run a non profit called My Happy Place ( Colorado) and we do room makeovers for folks with serious health issues. These blinds help their light management and fit our limited budget, with all the quality and customization we could ask for.

The Economy Light Filtering Cell Shade we purchased were as described. Installation took slightly longer than I expected but was relatively easy. This was a longer shade requiring the installation and alignment of four brackets and this was the first time for me to install a cellular shade. They look great and really set off the new replacement windows they are being used to cover. I would buy from Blinds Chalet again and would also consider these shades in any room in the house that didn't need total blackout.
