Ask The Expert


I have been in the Window Treatment Industry for 25 years. I’ve performed in home consulations, in store sales and installations. I have seen just about every type of treatment out there and installed it in just about every type of window opening. I created “ask the expert” for you. So put me to the test, post your question below, I enjoy helping. And by chance I don’t have an answer, maybe someone else here will.

    Have a Trapizoid Angle Top. Using Cellular. Have been told that they will only raise to the lowest point, start of the angle. Any options ? Have seen a patented moving headrail on a couple site that claim it will raise up all the way ??? Thanks in advance for any help, Kirk

    HI Kirk

    Cellular shades for a trapizoid with a standard cord control will only raise to the lowest point. The remote control type ( moving headrail ) is the only one that I have seen that will draw completed up.

    Do you know if Levelor custom Acadia Cordless single Cellular top-down, bottom-up shades with metal rails could have width cut off to fit different window than originally ordered shade for? Is it something the DIYer can do at home? If so, do you know where I can get instructions. If not DIY project, does it have to go back to factory? Thanks.

    Hi Sandra
    I don’t know if they can be cut down. I don’t think I would want to attempt it because there is a risk of damanging the componets that make it go up and down. I would contact Levelor maybe they can cut it down (if it’s a small amount). If it’s a new shade and was mis-measured they may do a 50/50 split. Meaning reorder it at 50% of your cost.

    Good Luck

  5. I want to have the controls and stack of vertical blinds at opposite ends. Is this possible and if so, how?

  6. Robert says:

    Hi Gerry
    Yes it is possible. This is an option offered by most companies. It may cost a little extra, when placing your order online just select controls left and stack right or the other way around.

    Good Luck
    Robert
