I'm looking for a shade I can mount inside and over blinds to keep reflections off a TV. Is this shade good enough for that?

I have the pebble beach color and it is a great shade. I bought it for our porch to protect from the full western sun in the afternoons. My hesitation in answering your question is that this is a true exterior shade. If you, are okay with that look then this is a great shade.

I paid someone to install the blind and the plastic endsBroke off before the shade was placed on the brackets. Do not buy.

It depends on where you were going to use it. If its the only light source in a large room then maybe not enough. Ours is abouve our bed and its enough. Without the shade im sure it would look fine with the right bulb.

It is not a problem--the shade stays wherever you put it. It does not look bad if it is scrunched up a little at the bottom, and it stays in place. I bought just one at first to see if it worked ok, then bought 4 more. I am very happy with them.

We do notice some reflection from some windows that are across our den from the TV set, but it doesn't bother us much. During shows we are deeply interested in, I closethe blinds on those windows & it is perfect. The picture is so good and colors so accurate that we don't let the glare bother us in our particular setting. I have not tried thefilters you mention, however. If it bothers you, I'd try experimenting with that.

If you mounted them outside of the window you would have to add a piece of wood at the top to hold the shade. This arrangement would work but not look very good. If you need an outside mount, buy a regular shade, not a pleated one, as that would look a lot better.

The shade is completely black and you will not be able to see out of that portion of the window causing a major blind spot when changing lanes, parking etc...I would not advise the shade be used for that purpose. Hope this helps db

it would definitely provide shade.... although despite the vent in the back, it didn't have a whole lot of air flow unless you were right near the front.

The shade should be fine in mild to moderate wind and rain. The manufacturer recommends that in a heavy storm, roll up the shade. The shades are porous, so a lot of wind will dissipate through it. But to be on the safe side, if you start to see the shade moving strongly even with it opened tautly, then roll it up.

The fixture will hold up fine with wind and ice/rain if installed securely. It is a strait forward simple design. The shade is not deep so the bulb would be exposed to a driving rain. I use an indoor outdoor decorative bulb. Fixture is all metal, baring a direct hit from a wind driven projectile I expect this fixture to last indefinitely..

The adhesive that is on the shade is pretty much for inside mounting. But if you had your own tape, it should be easily doable.

I have the natural light shade. It doesn't block all light out like a blackout curtain. I do live on a corner street and have car headlights all the time. It does keep most of those lights dimmed at least.

I rolled it out for th width if the window and pieced for the height of the window as it was easier to match th pattern. You can see where I pieced it up close but not from a distance so much. I figured if it looked bad I could cover it with a long valance. It is great for privacy which is what I was looking for and still let's light in.

I live in a very windy area and my solar shade is holding up well. I left a little slack when I put it over my over the top of my pergola to give a little on the windy days.

Hello,We are also looking at these blinds and was wondering about cutting to size, good to know it worked for you, do you think a fabric sealant would make it more secure? I need three blinds and 3 different sizes.M. Bell

I have 2 of these blinds, when the wind gets up over 20 mph it will shake around. it will blow away if you don;t keep some weight in it.They work very well.

I was worried about that too, but It does give out plenty of light. It's a beautiful shade. I have a fluorescent energy bulb in it and it does take a couple of minutes, but it puts out just the right amount of light. Not too bright, but not dark either. I get a lot of compliments about it.
