UNISHADES

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.

Measuring & Fit

How do I measure my window?

For an inside mount, measure the exact width and height of the window opening at three points and use the smallest number. Choose a shade equal to or slightly narrower than the opening. For an outside mount, add 2–3 inches on each side for better light blockage.

What does “no-drill” installation mean?

Most UNISHADES products mount with tension or clip-in brackets that grip the inside of the window frame — no screws, no holes, no tools. They remove just as cleanly, which makes them ideal for rentals.

What’s the difference between blackout, room-darkening and light-filtering?

Blackout fabrics block essentially all light — best for bedrooms and nurseries. Room-darkening blocks most light but allows a soft glow. Light-filtering fabrics let diffused daylight through while preserving privacy.

Care & Use

How do I clean my shades?

Dust regularly with a soft cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment. Spot-clean fabric shades with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap; wipe aluminum and faux-wood blinds with a damp cloth.

Are cordless shades safe for children and pets?

Yes — cordless operation is the recommended choice for homes with children and pets, since there are no dangling cords.
