How much light do these shades block?

The fabric blocks about 35%–45% of light. That filters glare and adds daytime privacy but will not darken a room like a blackout shade.

They are a blend: 8% linen and 92% polyester, woven in a linen texture at 339 GSM. You get the linen look with the durability and lower wrinkling of polyester.

Can I order a custom size?

Yes. The shades are made to measure in both width and length, so you specify the exact window dimensions rather than picking a stock size.

What does the valance do?

The integrated top valance covers the cordless headrail, so the hardware is hidden and the top of the window looks finished. Border trim runs along the edges.

The headrail is cordless. The listing does not detail the lift mechanism beyond that, so check the operating style before ordering.

Where do these shades work best?

Living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms where you want soft filtered light and a tailored fabric look. For full darkness, pair them with a blackout layer.
