Can a blind or shade go up and down behind this?

Yes if the blind is set inside the window sash. This is such a nice shelving unit for the window and the gentleman that makes them gives the best customer service. If you want the unit made bigger or smaller email him first and he will make it to your specification. Hope this helps. Elisa

To be honest, I think it would depend on how your blinds are mounted. If they are mounted to the insider of the window frame you should be fine. With my set up though, where the shades are on the outer edge of the frame, i had to remove the shades. But then again, we never used them in the 3 years weve lived here. I can say that without a doubt this is the best window shelving unit I have seen and I regret nothing about the lack of functioning blinds.

In my window, yes. My window is shallow bay and has about 6 inches. Really depends on the depth of your window.
1519513
Not really. I am not able to use my Hunter Douglas shade so I just took the shade down.

yes I have blinds on my window the thick custom honeycomb and there is plenty of room

Not unless the shelves are by some means suspended out far enough to allow room for shades between the window and shelves.

If your window is too shallow, you can get those curtain hangers that come out away from the wall a few inches . I'm not too familiar with how to hang blinds so I can't really answer that part for you, sorry.

Mine has a cord to raise or lower. I found that the cord and its mechanism poorly designed. The shade works great but you need to purchase additonal parts to maintain the product.

Yep, in most cases. They are in two pieces and you can adjust them to tilt upward.

There is a roller on the top with a chain that rolls the shade up and down on the side. We have 4 of these on our back porch which work very well with shading the morning sun plus you can see through it some..

Yes. Screen can be stopped at any point either on the way up or down. We use it as a window shade here as well now that the sun comes in at a low angle.

I am sure you could. The lights are spread apart and are up high enough. I have not done it.

Yes. I was not able to install mine, as I could not operate the shade if installed. Found out well after the return time.

Yes. I put shade cloth over the top and 1 side for privacy. Works and looks good.

Absolutely. The shade can handle a lot! Just make sure you secure it properly. I replaced the rope once with sturdier stuff and I used a "trucker hitch" to get a taut shade.If I am home, I take it down during bad weather. Only takes a few minutes to take down and put back up. Easy to readjust if you're using the rope on at least one side.

Technically, there are 2 sets of exposed strings running vertically through the accordion of the shade's paper/cloth-like material. The strings are located where the cords are usually located in Venetian blinds, but you do not pull on the string to lift or lower the shades. You just push up or pull down on the plastic piece running the length of the shade's bottom, & it stays at whatever level you push it to. So there are definitely no cords dangling from the sides, but there are exposed strings keeping it all aligned. Buy the "honeycomb" Easy lift shades if you don't want the strings to be exposed.

Absolutely. You can extend this awning any distance. We often have it open only a few feet to shade the patio doors.

You could get the top of the shade about 7" from the ceiling. It might be possible to get the top of the shade closer to the ceiling, but we did not try that.

Yes. There are two screws at the top of the frame that the canopy attaches. The screws can be loosen and the canopy can be tilted up and down

Yes. Tilt it slighly up or down or rotate a few degrees left ot right. You can also cover parts of the reflective surface with a towel.

Yes, but it does not hold up very well in strong winds. Additionally, our shade came with a couple of parts missing in the assembly hardware that they send to you.

I don't think so if by quarter round you mean one side goes straight up as in a right angle. The problem is the plastic mounting piece. You can certainly open the blind itself just half way, which would be a quarter moon, however, the plastic piece is also a half moon shape and you can't open it half way. It's designed to mount in the center of the window ledge with the blind going into it. Look at the enlarged image of the blind and you can see the clear half moon piece at the bottom, think of how that would fit against the straight side, it wouldn't.

The shade is attached so that you can mount with shade either pointing up or down. We have ours mounted pointing down. No problem.
