Redi Shade3607076 Original Arch Light Blocking Pleated Fabric Shade, White, 72” x 36”

For my previous house, I had purchased arch window shades for $100+ for each window. This time, I decided to try these out first. They were simple to install. There’s wiggle room if you cut them correctly. Remember to sharpen your knife before you start. I did 3 windows. Pics are from the first window I did. First window required me to cut the shade 3x, 2nd window, I had to cut it 2x, and the last one only required 1 cut.For me, it was better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, my arch wasn’t a “perfect arch size.” The window pictures displayed size was 67 1/2 x 33. So doubling the height would’ve only gotten me to 66” and the directions want you to take of 1/4”. In regards to the measurements, I cut it to 65 3/4. Make sure you center the plastic stand in the center. I used some clear shipping tape to keep it steady. From there I fanned it out and it was a perfect fit (remember I cut it 3x on my first try.) Here comes the wiggle room. I stretched it out to reach the end of the arch before actually taping it down and did the same for the other side. Keep in mind that the length was 67 1/2 but I had to trim it to 65 3/4 to fit the height. Voila!! Perfect arch!Make sure you clean the sill very well to ensure adhesion. Also, please note that one side is white (a bit shiny like it’s laminated) and the other side is like a fabric gray color. It looks a bit ombré because it’s so dense at the base. It appears to be quite sturdy and should last for a good long while. It actually looks better in person. I promise! ; )

This shade was perfect, one side is this natural color and the other side white. We have a lot of natural light and this has helped keep the room cool.I did measure per instructions prior to cutting but once i tried to fit in it was still too big (which might be the case depending on the window size) but I didn’t follow instructions for the second cut because i wanted as little light coming in so i cut half an inch more and it was perfect.I also didn’t remove the tape strip, i figured it would be easier to clean in the future without sticking it down. The fit was snug so it worked out. Overall a great purchase

Shades did the jod

We have been struggling to find a light blocking blind for our 1/2 circle window in our bedroom. We've tried various things, but this one is a game changer. If you're looking for a darkening blind, look no further!

it was easy to cut to size. I added an aluminum flat to both sides (using the sticky tape) which meant I could sit it in place, opened out, and it stays there. I can close the fan and take it down to clean the window. Win win.
