We have 2 windows that are 23" wide. Could we cut this blind in half and make 2 blinds out of it? Thanks!

That won't work. The minimum width is 28 inches, as that's the area where the internal cord mechanism is contained. If you cut into that, it won't work.

Unfortunately, the shade cannont be trimmed in half to cover two windows. There are internal cords, allowing the shade to be raised and lowered; which if cut, would cause the shade to no longer function. The 48-inch width can be trimmed to fit window widths 32-inches to 48-inches. The 36-inch width can be trimmed to fit window widths 21-inches to 36-inches. You can find the 36-inch option to this product by searching for ASIN B008OPVEI0.Thank you for your interest in this product!Redi Shade Customer Service

The bottom piece is not meant to be cut in the center. It is symmetrical - fatter in the center, then narrow at the ends. Cutting it in half would probably make the blinds hang unevenly.

Can't cut through the middle of the shade. Mechanism for cordless Iis in the botton! Sorry!

I am don't believe they would work cut in half because of the mechanical set in side the blind.

Sure you can. We found that using a rubber band to secure the blind very near where we were going to cut helped us make a clean cut. Also got a really good box cutter with a long blade. That will give the best cut. I was shocked at how easy it was to install and how easy it was to cut. They have been in our windows at our cafe and on direct sunlight every day without any problem. They have helped considerably with the sun and heat this summer. Hope this helps.

Since they are separate pieces you can make them as wide or narrow as you need. they are VERY difficult to put up alone. I recommend someone to help.

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.

YES -- think about it, you can no increase the width but IF you cannot purchased a narrower shade, simply cut it down. I love these shades -- used them for almost a year in our vacation home until I could afford to purchase real window coverings and knew "what" I wanted. Here, although I had plantation shutters installed on my first floor, I still have these covering the windows on the second floor (3 bedrooms) and the ones I removed from the first floor are on the basement windows. One I not only made narrower (fold them up as they arrived .. secure with rubber bands - both ends and the middle and cut off the extra width) and I also "shortened" it by cutting off several inches on the bottom.

I'm afraid I'm not much help. I have casement windows and so it goes 44 inches, but that's farther than it is designed to go. I screwed the two pieces together as directed, but had to give them some extra support with Gorilla tape. Then again, you could probably put them in a 44" wide space in a double hung window because the weight of the window would hold it in place. BTW, I love the A/C unit.

I think you mean 24" x 12" and yes you can. My advise is to measure the shade and cut it 26" long first. Size up to the window and cut a small portion off at a time. You can always cut more off, if you cut to much at first, you can't put it back on. I did that with mine, it fits great. You MUST have a ledge on the flat side of the window for the shade to fit on. It is about 1 inch thick.

I made mine work in a 21" wide window opening by not installing one of the window covers. Works beautifully and looks great!

The answer is yes to both questions, that is what we used it for. It is a very nice blind.

Sure it is possible. Find the film option that gives you max coverage in a single panel and buy as much as you need to cover the entire area. If you purchase 12" wide you will need to put four panels side by side. Four rolls of 12" x 83" would cover the two windows. You will need to match up the pattern but other reviewers have used the film on french doors, bathroom shower sliders, etc. I found that an exacto knife worked best to cut the film at the edge of the window.

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

Windows have velcro to keep them in place. All 4 sides are equl in length. I would guess their length to be about 4.5 feet. It is roomy with one person, useable with two people. This blind is sturdy and easy to set up.

Hello.. the window MAXIMUM should be 23 since the size of the actual unit is 16". Meaning it comes with expanders. @@" wide window is a typical window and this will fit like a glove. Happy shopping

I don't want to cut mine to test your question but I think most likely yes it could be cut to fit a window.... or two, it's quite large!

Hello, With me I would put both sets on the windows because I like sets, but they can be bought long enough to use 1 set for both windows, just be a little crafty with your own ideas on splitting up the curtains.

It's actually up to you. Since you can put the supports as far apart as the wood pieces are long. This makes it have a max width of 36 inches. Though you might need to make it slightly less to account for some shifting and the wooden bolts. Also ensure you have studs or something solid to drill into around the window.

Our window opening is 23" along with the opening. Suggest you check with the manufacturer as they are wonderful to work with.

there are holes all along the sides to adjust the 2 free shelves. however, the middle shelf is fixed. the shelf above and below are adjustable. as for 2nd question, I can't find tape measure but looks as if the 23.75 is outside width. I would subtract 1.25 on each side for door width.
