Window Coverings

I ordered a 36” x 72” roll-up shade. The package says the actual size of the product is 36” x 72”. Why was there no deduction in the width of the shade to allow for the hardware if mounted inside?

There are no deductions in the width of a roll-up shade because roll-up shades install with simple hook hardware on the top of the head rail only. The width size on the package (or the size ordered) is the actual width of the product.

The size on the package of my Roman window shade is 23” x 72”, so why is the actual size 22.5” x 72”?

A Roman shade comes complete with hardware that will add ¼” to each side of the width of the shade if mounted inside the window frame. With the hardware added, the total width of the actual product will be 23” x 72”.

What is the difference in a roll-up shade and a Roman shade?

A roll-up shade lifts by rolling up, whereas a Roman shade lifts by folding up.

What is the difference between an inside mount and outside mount?

The inside mount is the measurement of the width of the inside of the window frame.

The outside mount is the measurement of the width of the outside of the window frame from edge to edge.

How do I measure my windows for window shades?

When making a decision on a window treatment style, the first thing to do is to decide if you want to mount the window blinds on the inside of the window frame or the outside. Sometimes this decision weighs heavily on the size of the windows, so you’ll need to measure the width and the height of each.

Here are some tips to make measuring easy:

  1. Use a steel measuring tape. Steel measuring tapes are more concise than paper or plastic ones. You will also be able to get a more accurate measurement.
  2. Measure to the nearest 1/8″ increment. It is very important that your measurements are exact, especially if you are ordering custom shades. This is because many window treatment companies don’t offer refunds for custom cuts. If you decide to go with a stock size window blind, meaning you purchase it pre-cut, you still want to get as close to the size indicated on the box as possible.

Shelving

My floating shelf is slanting down. Did I do something wrong installing it?

Floating shelves are supported with a hidden bracket that should be mounted on the wall with the arrow pointing up.  It is also important to install one end of the shelf into a wall stud and use all the set and support screws to secure the bracket and the shelf to the wall.  If you do all of the above then your shelf should not be slanting down.

I noticed moisture in my fire safe. Is this normal?

Because most fire safes are air tight, moisture can slowly develop on the inside. This is especially true in regions of high humidity. For this reason, it is recommended that safes be opened at least once or twice a month to allow air to circulate and to also examine the contents. It is also recommended that 1 or 2 silica gel packs or a small dehumidifier be placed in the safe to help keep moisture buildup to a minimum. Another good idea is to place important documents (passports, certificates, deeds, etc.) into a zip lock type bag prior to placing in the safe.
