Does the Lanai shade block light?

No. It is unlined, so it filters light and softens glare rather than blocking it. For a darker room, add a liner or choose a lined shade.

Can I mount it outside the window frame?

Yes. It supports inside and outside mount, and the built-in valance covers the hardware either way.

What sizes can I order?

Widths go up to 96 inches and heights start at 12 inches. Each shade is made to your measurements.

Does it work with Alexa or Nest?

The motorized version connects to home automation systems and supports Nest and Alexa. The standard corded version does not.

Is it safe around children?

Blindster states it meets all CPSC requirements. Cordless or motorized operation is the safer choice in homes with young children.

When is the price lowest?

Custom shades usually drop during Blindster's seasonal sales. The current best new price is $225.41 at Blindster.com as of November 7, 2026.
