Cellular shades aren’t limited to light filtering fabrics—they also come in blackout varieties. If you love the look of cellular shades but desire more privacy and light control, you’ll love our Single Cell Blackout Cellular Shades. Made with a non-woven polyester fabric and a fused blackout lining, these shades are tough to beat when it comes to blocking harsh sunlight and harmful UV rays.
STEP 1: Measure the inside width at 3 locations - the top, middle and bottom. Record the smallest of the 3 measurements. This is your ordering width. We will make the necessary deductions (approx. 3/8" to 1/2").
STEP 2: Measure the height at 3 locations - the left side, middle and right side. Record the largest of the 3 measurements. This is your ordering height.
STEP 1: Measure the width of the area you wish to cover. If space allows we recommend adding 2-3" (1-1 1/2" each side) to this measurement to help eliminate light seepage. This is your ordering width and will be the overall measurement of the blind.
STEP 2: Measure the height of the area you wish to cover. This is your ordering height. Be sure to take into account the 1" flat mounting surface needed when measuring the area you want to cover with your shade. The factory will make your shade (including the headrail) to the width and height ordered. Generally 3" - 4" added to the height of your opening (including molding or framework you wish to cover) will allow you room to mount above the window frame.

BEAUTIFUL AND FAST DELIVERY! VERY PLEASED
I measured the windows according to the directions offered on the website which were very clear. I sent them in and received the blinds very quickly. The blinds fit perfectly and were easy to install. They look good and keep the light out very well. Thank you.
Works as advertised, will buy a second set for another window. Only problem is when the shade is all the way up, one side droops down a little.
Followed the measuring directions, and also took the advice of other reviews and added an extra 2 inches to length, and it fit just right.
I bought these blinds for my son's room. We had high quality wood blinds, but it did not darken the room well enough for nap time - even with curtains over them. I purchased these black out shades and they are great! There is light around the ends, but even with the little bit of light, the room is darker than ever before. Easy to install, great value.
This is my second time ordering from yourblinds. Their prices and customer service are second to none. Highly recommended.
Almost perfect. Too short. They barely reach length of window. There should be about one inch more added to the provided measurement.
Writing a review a few weeks after purchase will only cover input on infant mortality. How long they hold up is TBD. Nonetheless, I am very satisfied with the product. Had a better feel of quality than what I expected for the price. But then Hunter Douglas always felt over priced.
The shade came quickly and just as I expected. Would definitely order another from here again!
The shades are nice - blackout works good. It was simple to install and fit well width wise. I would order an inch longer in length since the big shade tends to pull up a tiny bit. The cordless is also a little unstable if you have a big window Especially while closing the shade. But overall good value
