Redi Shade No Tools Easy Lift Trim-at-Home Cordless Pleated Light Filtering Fabric Shade Gray, 30" W x 64" L (Fits Windows 19 in - 30 in)

I absolutely love these easy to install shades! They replaced some very old vertical blinds and the pleated shades give my windows an elegant look, while being very functional. They block the sun, but are thin enough to allow the light to filter through. It's so easy to draw and lift the shades by hand without the use of cords. They are sturdy and easy to install - no tools needed unless you have to cut the shades down.First of all, there are a couple of ways to install the shades. On the first set of three windows, I installed them inside the window frames with the use of the adhesive tape, located at the top, and they were sized perfectly. The other set of two windows were slightly larger, so I had to purchase larger shades that had to be cut down in order to fit inside the frames. It turns out that I didn't cut the first shade quite enough to fit inside the frame and rather than to try to shave a quarter of an inch, I decided to install them over the window frame. For the second window, I installed outside the frame without trimming and it fit perfectly. So, one of the shades shows a slight gap when you look at it from the side, but it still looks good.For uniformity, it's better to trim equal amounts on each end of the shade. There are very thin cords inserted into the pleats and the measurements would definitely be off if the shade is trimmed on one side only.I used a cheap fine tooth saw to trim one end of the shade and the teeth quickly ground down to nothing. I found another old saw for the other end of the shade and both cut pretty well, although it was not super smooth. The caps are removable and snap onto the cut end very easily. Cutting takes a little trial and error; just measure well (there is a little ruler at the top), have a variety of cutting implements and take your time.I've looked at very expensive shades and I think these are very comparable. I love the color too.

This looks so good now that it is installed. Pretty much idiot proof just a little hard to cut but the hardest part was me understanding that there was yet another adhesive under the tape measure marker and THAT was the one that needed to have strip taken off and where the adhesive was actually placed. All the difficult parts were doable the thing that frustrated me most was why it wasnt sticking after I peeled off the tape measure( next strip; lol) as long as the adhesive continues to adhere I give this 10 stars( THANK YOU) I followed instruction to a tee as far as cleaning prior and 30 minute dry time. So happy I wont have to see lights glaring in my room anymore.

Bought these to replace a set of metal miniblinds that was 20+ years old and had needed a few repairs since install.After removing the old blinds I followed the instructions to measure the inner and outer width of the window area. Their instructions on "inner" and "outer" were a little confusing at first as I wasn't sure if by outer they meant to the outer edge of each side's aluminum window or the width of the surrounding frame (from left to right beyond the aluminum frame width). My home's windows are from ca. 1979 so they may've been thinking a newer standard.No matter though, they were true to their guidance in the instructions that with the outer length they'd baked in calculations to ensure space enough on either side of the blinds once cut, such that the set ended up fitting neatly in the space cutting out light with a lot less "leaking" out from around the blinds when closed.Having installed a couple of these now I highly recommend using a hacksaw with a very finely-serrated blade to at least start the cuts into the plastic portions of the blinds. Starting from the top, perhaps 5-7 strokes with the hacksaw helped make cutting into the cloth portion much easier, and then once having cut through the blinds themselves finishing the bottom plastic piece using the hacksaw only made things a LOT easier, helpful for anybody with the makings of carpal tunnel syndrome like myself.The provided plastic guide works fine, but I'd much rather use a more durable saw miter box as the guide is flimsy and can easily be nudged as you work the knife down through the blinds. Ultimately though things turned out nicely.Cleaning has yet to be determined, will update if and when that becomes a concern. Also, with the latest set I installed, the left-hand side isn't hanging down as much and the bottom does not evenly contact my marble windowsill. I happened to have some lead wire handy and inserted a tiny bit into the styrofoam which seems to have helped.Overall though a nice set of easy to install blinds that block out significantly more sun than my previous set.

Para empezar las instrucciones no están claras ni completas, uno tiene que adivinarle. Luego están difíciles de usar, para bajarlas hay que jalar fuerte y pues siendo de papel, no entiendo por qué. Subirlas NO es fácil (he tenido otras de papel y se suben con pincitas por ejemplo)Finalmente, después de menos de 24 horas ya están así, o sea, además su calidad es mala.No caigan.

I read all the reviews very thoroughly before ordering this blind and decided to listen to the good reviews and take the bad with a grain of salt and I am very glad I did!!I am so impressed! The hardest part was cutting the blind to the right size and honestly, if I had used a sharper knife it would have been a breeze. Even without the perfect knife was still pretty easy and only took a few minutes to cut it down to the length.The built on measuring tape was very helpful and once the blind was the right length, the actual install took a few seconds. I took the time to clean the top of my windowsill and stuck it on securely and easily. It’s been a couple of weeks now with absolutely no issues. The blind is straight and goes up and down smoothly.Just as important, it looks great! It lets in some light without being either too bright or dark.I will definitely be ordering more!!

Quedan bien y se ven de buena calidad. Son fáciles de cortar para un buen ajuste. Sin embargo, el adhesivo para fijarlas es insuficiente y necesitan una "ayudadita" para su instalación definitiva, especialmente si la pintura donde se van aponer es granulosa y no completamente plana.

Super producto. Funciona perfecto y en menos de 5 minutos tienes una persiana muy bonita. Muy fácil de cortar a la medida con un cuchillo (tal y como muestran en el video). Fácil de colocar, fácil de subir y bajar.

I searched and found the most conveniently structured and eye catching pull down blind here on Amazon. It took a matter of minutes to cut to length and install… and it looks great!Highly recommend this design.
