Extended depth returns

9/18/2025

1 Comment

 
We are excited to announce that Standard and Extended depth returns will be available for outside mount shades on October 1, 2025. There are no changes to the option or specification for inside mount shades. 

Visit our YouTube channel to learn more about this update or continue reading below.

>> Watch Extended Returns Explained

Standard depth returns are made to the depth of the head rail. Extended depth returns are made slightly deeper than the head rail and help close the gap between the wall and the back of the shades.

To allow extended returns to fit properly to the shade valance and return back to the wall, we will change the way outside mount shades are made:
  • All Outside Mount Standard Shades will be made with a valance that is 1/2" wider than the ordered width. The headrail and shade fabric will be made to the ordered size.
  • Outside Mount Waterfall Shades will be made with the shade fabric to the ordered width. The headrail and back valance will be made 1/2" narrower.
These adjustments allow the return to make a clean corner in the front of the shade and clear the fabric at the back of the shade.

This specification update applies to the Inspired Shade Natural Shades and Fabric Roman Shade Collections. ​

Fabric Roman Shade Installation

8/15/2025

0 Comments

 
Direct (Top) Mounted Shades

When direct mounting fabric roman shades without using the installation slots in the headrail, it is possible to create a fabric pull in the valance for standard shades or shade fabric for waterfall shades. Please see the instruction below on avoiding pulls and an update around our replacement policy when this issue occurs. 

Because the head rail is fabric wrapped, it is important to always use the pre-drilled installation slots when direct mounting into the installation surface. The fabric around the slots has a reinforced opening that helps prevent the valance or shade fabric from pulling when the shade is installed. 

For direct mount Fabric Roman Shades, please always ensure installations use the provided screws and washers to hold the shade in place and that shades are installed using the pre-drilled slots. 

Previously, we allowed no-cost remakes for this issue. Because this can be avoided with proper installation, remakes may have to be processed with an Oops discount starting September 1, 2025.

Our product guide and installation instructions now reflect this change.
