Materials & Construction
- Openness factor: from 1% (more privacy) to 14% (more view)
- 1" aluminium roller tube for strength and durability
- Top treatment options: No Valance (exposed roller) or Cassette with fabric insert

Why Choose Blindsgalore Solar Shades?
- Trusted best-seller for bright, sun-exposed rooms

Control Options
Cord Loop with Chain Guard
- Durable beaded chain & clutch system paired with a Chain Guard for added child safety
- Chain height: approximately 1/2 of the shade height
- The clear Chain Guard covers the continuous cord loop to help meet Canadian child-safety expectations. In its resting position, only a short length of chain remains exposed at the top. To operate the shade, gently lift the Chain Guard and use the exposed chain as usual. When you’re done, lower the guard again to keep the chain covered and out of reach.
Cordless Options
- Traditional Cordless: spring action raises and lowers the shade smoothly
- Cordless Plus: enhanced cordless glide for more precise placement (Cassette Valance required)
Rechargeable Motorized Wand
- Push-button wand control with an integrated rechargeable battery
- Wand length is typically about two-thirds of the shade height (12"–60" options)
- One charge typically lasts 6–8 months; charger sold separately
- Note: Not upgradeable to remote or smart-home control

Will This Window Treatment Fit My Window?
Our window treatments are custom-crafted to fit a wide variety of spaces. If your window dimensions fall within the ranges listed below, you’re already halfway there! Next, we'll help you check your mounting space, which may vary depending on the style you choose.
Inside Mount Installation
Your window opening needs a minimum depth to hold the brackets. If your opening is deep enough, you can achieve a flush mount look where the treatment sits entirely inside the opening. Note: If your depth is between the minimum and flush requirements, your treatment will install securely but may stick out slightly from the window opening.
Outside Mount Installation
This installs on the wall or trim above your window. It’s ideal for total light control or your windows are too shallow for an inside mount. Ensure you have enough flat surface space to install the mounting brackets.

Every Blindsgalore custom window treatment is backed by a manufacturer's warranty because we believe in the quality of what we sell. But we also know a warranty is only as good as the people standing behind it. That's why when you contact us, you'll speak with a real person who understands your order, your home, and your needs — not a call center or automated system.
