FAQs
Is this a blackout shade?
No. Despite the product name, the shade is light-filtering, not blackout. It diffuses sunlight and blocks direct glare and UV rays, but does not fully block light. The fabric is semi-sheer with a natural linen blend.
How is this installed without drilling?
It uses a no-drill inside mount system with a tension mechanism. Simply measure your window frame depth (minimum 6cm required) and adjust the width within (x-0.5) to (x+1.5) cm for a secure fit. No power tools or wall damage needed.
Will it work with outward-opening windows?
Yes, it is specifically engineered for outward-opening windows. The slim hardware is designed to avoid interfering with window handles. Provide the minimum inner width (taken from top, middle, and bottom) and the shade is manufactured to those exact dimensions.
Can I get this in other colors or sizes?
The shade is available in the Beige (Raw Linen) color as described. It is made to order for custom widths up to 65 inches. Contact inCustom for additional size inquiries.
