With a tape measure, measure the window’s width in 3 locations. Use the smallest measurement.

2. Trim 

Remove the bottom rail end caps. Place the cutting guide at the exact desired width. (No clearance deduction needed; it’s already included). Trim each side of the shade to that same exact window measurement. Position the knife blade at an angle on the top of the shade at your exact measurement. Press firmly cutting through rails and fabric with a rocking motion and constant pressure. Replace the end caps on the bottom rail.

Peel the adhesive liner. 

4. Stick

Press firmly for 30 seconds across the width of the shade to install it. Please allow 30 minutes for the adhesive to cure before operating the shade. Pull the shade down to lower it or push the shade up to raise it.

If your shade becomes unbalanced and hangs unevenly, open gently to full length to reset.

We’ve updated the way our Original Arch shades are measured to better fit your window. To determine whether you’ve purchased Original Arch Shade Version 1 or Original Arch Shade Version 2, take a look at the patented trimming scale on the side of the arch. Locate the area of the trimming guide to the left of the ruler.

Clean the mounting surface with alcohol before installing the shade and allow it to dry. 

1. Measure

Our trimming scale is designed for perfect arches. To determine if your window is a perfect arch, follow these steps: Measure the width (A) and the height (B) to the nearest 1/4” from the inside of the window casing. If the width (A) is exactly double the height (B), you have a perfect arch window.
Example: You have a perfect arch if your window’s width is 30” and its height is 15”. You have an imperfect arch if your window has a width of 30” and a height of 12”.

Once you have confirmed you have a perfect arch, use the trimming scale on the shade to trim your shade.

We do have an Imperfect Arch Guide for slightly imperfect arches, but if you have a significantly wide, narrow, or eyebrow arch, this product may not be for you.

2. Trim

Using the exact width, position a straight edge knife blade on the trimming scale at the line matching your width measurement, then trim your shade. Note: our patented trimming scale already takes into account the clearance deduction for a proper fit inside your window.
 

Wondering where to place your cut? With the red instruction text on the left, locate the measurement of your window base to the right of the text (example: window base is 38”, trim at the 38” mark).

3. Peel

Peel the liner. Note: Be sure to install the trimmed section with the red instructional text on it rather than the trimmed excess to ensure a proper fit.

4. Stick

Place the shade into the arch holder, then into your window frame. Fan the Original Arch Shade open and position in the window, then stick the shade inside your window frame. Using both hands, press firmly along the bottom pleats.

Pleated shades are usually made with a single layer of material and have pleats that resemble an accordion. They offer less insulation than cellular shades, but are often more affordable. Pleated shades come in different sizes, materials and colors. They also come in different light controls and privacy options.

Cellular shades are often referred to as honeycomb shades because of the way the shade’s cells look from the side. Cellular shades provide maximum insulation and energy efficiency. They can be customizable and come in different sizes, materials, colors, light control and privacy options.

Dramatically impact the look and feel of a room by understanding the light control and privacy to get the perfect shades. Fabric, depth of color, and number of cells all contribute to how much a shade controls light and privacy. Our blackout shades block nearly 99% of light and provide maximum privacy day or night.
