Measuring: I measured my own blinds!
Installation: I installed my own blinds!
I wasn't entirely sure I would love these so I bought ONE. I have 3 more windows to cover and I will be ordering them in the spring when we are back to our summer home. They really do block the heat while allowing some light in. You CAN see through them, although not as clear and crisp as when the window is not covered, obviously. We wanted to help keep some of the heat of the blazing sun out. And really do think they work for this. The fit perfectly and my husband commented on how easy they were to install - he complains about every thing he has to install so this is also significant. As I said, we WILL be ordering three more this spring. Oh - and the color was perfect for me. Keep in mind every computer screen will read color a little differently. These folks also offer color swatches so you can be sure. I really like the beaded pull cord as opposed to the string. I think it's a bit more sturdy. Also, keep in mind that during the daylight you can see out, others cannot see in... HOWEVER, at night, the opposite is true. You really can't see out and everyone can see in - so they do not replace your curtains or blinds. Our windows are very deep so we were able to install these screen toward the window and our custom blinds more forward. A perfect match. Manufacture and delivery did take a little time, but it arrived as promised. And remember - they are custom made.
