- How do I measure for Roller Shades, including Sheer Weave Roller Shades?
Measure the same way as you do for other blinds, but keep the following in mind:
Chain Lift: Distance from edge of window to fabric on inside/outside mount: 7/8" on chain side, 3/8" on opposite side for a total of 1 1/4".
Spring Lift: Distance from edge of window to fabric on inside/outside mount: ~7/8" on each side for a total of 1 3/4".
Finished product on all inside/outside mount Roller Shades will be made to your size specifications and will be tip to tip. For shades with chain lifts, the actual fabric width will be 1 ¼” less than the total measurement for inside/outside mount, and for spring lifts, the actual fabric width will be 1 ¾ “ less for inside/outside mount.
We recommend adding to the width of your outside mount shades to ensure maximum coverage. For example: If you are ordering an outside mount shade with a chain lift at 64” wide x 60” high and want the actual fabric width to be 64”, then you need to order a size of 65 ¼” wide x 60” high.

- What is your return policy?
At SelectBlindsCanada.ca we sell custom made window treatments manufactured with extreme care to the specifications provided by you, our customer. For this reason most orders are not returnable. To assist you, we provide simple to follow measuring instructions on our website. We know that your window covering project is a significant investment, therefore you might consider that your first order be for only one blind or shade so you can judge for yourself the quality and workmanship of our products. We do allow you to return the first blind you order for any reason if you are not completely satisfied, provided that you ordered free samples first. All shipping fees associated with returning any order are the responsibility of the customer.
- How do I pay for my blinds?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and PayPal.
- What is the difference between inside and outside mount?
What is the difference between inside and outside mount?
The difference between inside and outside mount is the way in which the blind or shade is hung. Inside mount is attaching the blind within the window sill so that the blinds or shades are flush with the wall. Outside mount is when a blind or shade hangs outside the window sill and extends beyond the wall or door.
- Is there a minimum window sill depth for an inside mount?
Yes there is. Under the specifications for each product we list the minimum depth for an inside mount blind.
- I want to order 2 blinds on 1 headrail but I want the lift and tilt controls in a specific location, how do I do this?
Any special instructions can be sent to SelectBlindsCanada in the Notes textbox that is on the order screen for each individual product. Simply specify where you would like the tilt controls. For example, for tilt controls on the outside of the blinds enter: left blind tilt position=left, right blind tilt position=right.
- I want to order 3 blinds on one headrail but would like to specify different sizes for each blind, how do I do this?
Any special instructions can be sent to SelectBlindsCanada in the Notes textbox that is on the order screen for each individual product. Simply specify the size for each blind. For example, left=25.25, middle=35.75, right=25.25.
- Is it possible to delete or change my order after I have completed it?
Each order is sent to production within one business day after ordering. Please ensure that the sizes and colours are correct before ordering. Orders that are cancelled or changed may incur a fee. Do feel free to contact us as we will make every effort to make any changes we can without any additional charges.
