Why Most "Blackout" Shades Fail

Generic shades leave gaps. Showrooms overcharge. We built a better way.

The Problem

  • Light gaps ruin "blackout"

    Stock shades never fit right — they're sized for standard windows, not yours.

  • Custom quotes are brutal

    $350–500 per window at showrooms — just for the privilege of a quote.

  • 3–4 week wait times

    Most custom brands take forever. Your room sits dark-deprived for a month.

  • No way to preview

    Buying blind online is risky — colors look different in a room than on a screen.

The Fix

  • Built to your exact window

    Down to ⅛". Every shade is made for your specific window — not a range.

  • Factory-direct pricing

    No showroom markup. No middleman. You pay manufacturing cost + our margin.

  • Ships in 7 days

    Not 3–4 weeks. We've streamlined production so you're not waiting forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before ordering.

How dark do blackout shades actually get?+

Our blackout shades block 100% of light when properly installed. The key is a custom fit — shades built to your exact window dimensions with minimal gaps on the sides. With an inside-mount shade and light-blocking side channels, you can achieve near-total darkness. We're talking sleep-through-noon darkness, not just dimming.

What if I measure wrong?+

We offer a 100% Fit Guarantee. If your shades don't fit because of our measurement guide, we'll remake them at no charge. Our guide is simple and clear, and our team is available to double-check your measurements before we go into production. We'd rather catch it early than have you deal with a bad fit.

Do light-colored blackout fabrics still block all light?+

Yes — absolutely. The blackout layer is a separate backing woven into the fabric. It has nothing to do with the face color. A white or cream fabric with a blackout backing blocks the same 100% of light as a dark charcoal. You're choosing face color for aesthetics and your room's decor — not for performance.

How fast do you ship?+

We ship in approximately 7 business days from order confirmation. Most traditional custom shade brands take 3–4 weeks. We've built a streamlined manufacturing process specifically to shorten this window — without cutting corners on quality. You'll get a tracking number and FedEx delivery estimate.

Can I get fabric samples first?+

Absolutely. We offer free fabric swatches so you can see and feel the material in person before committing. Order up to 10 swatches for free — just cover standard shipping. We highly recommend pairing physical swatches with our AI visualizer so you can see how the color reads in your room's actual lighting.

How is this different from Blinds.com?+

We specialize exclusively in roller shades and focus intensely on blackout performance. Our fabrics are sourced from premium mills including Phifer, Ferrari, and Mermet — brands you won't find at mass-market retailers. We manufacture in the USA, offer an AI room visualizer, and price factory-direct without any showroom or retail markup.

Can I add motorization later?+

In most cases, yes — if you selected a motorization-compatible tube size when you originally ordered. We recommend deciding on motorization upfront for the cleanest, most integrated installation. If you're on the fence, go motorization-ready and add the motor when you're ready. Our team can advise on retrofitting existing shades.

Do you offer financing?+

Yes. We offer financing through Affirm at checkout. Split your purchase into monthly payments — 0% APR options may be available depending on your creditworthiness. Subject to credit approval. There are no hidden fees or prepayment penalties.

What's your return policy?+

All shades are custom-made to your exact specifications, so we can't accept returns for buyer's remorse — that's standard for custom window treatments across the industry. However, if there's a manufacturing defect, a quality issue, or your shades don't fit per our Fit Guarantee, we'll remake or refund at no charge. We stand behind every shade we make.

Can you do specialty window shapes?+

Roller shades are designed for standard rectangular windows. For arches, triangles, octagons, or other specialty shapes, contact our team — we can discuss custom fabrication options or recommend complementary treatments that work alongside your roller shades.
