We ordered Good Housekeeping Designer 2" Light filtering sheer to shades, 3" Room darkening sheer to shades, 2" Light filtering motorized shades and 1 14% SheerWeave Premiuim Solar shade. All were of excellent quality, delivered prior to the date they gave us, and all were extremely easy to install. We will be recommending SelectBlinds.ca to our family and friends. Thank you so much!
3" Designer Signature (Good Housekeeping) Linen Room Darkening Sheer Shades have three inch fabric vanes placed between two layers of soft sheer material. These room darkening horizontal shadings are ideal for bedrooms and media rooms as they block incoming light and reduce glare. The shades provide 88% UV protection when the vanes are in the open position and 99% when in the closed position. Shop with confidence as these shades are backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal.
These shades are blackout rated - 3 out of 5 If you are looking for a greater degree of blackout (only a rating of 5 will ensure virtually complete darkness), please see our selection of other blackout blinds and shades.

Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.
Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
Deductions
Headrail will measure ordered width minus 3/16".
Please be sure to measure exactly as instructed BUT NOT TAKE OFF ANYTHING FROM THE MEASUREMENTS TO ALLOW FOR FREE SPACE since we automatically take deductions from the measurements on your order to provide for this free space.
If you are planning to do a flush mount, please ensure that you have the space required to do so--you'll find the 'Flush mounting space required' under the Features tab for your blinds.
Height
Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three places.
Take the largest of the three measurements.
Write down that size making sure that it is the second number of the measurement. This is the height you will order.
Click here for length consideration to prevent buckling. This does not apply to the following products: 2" Premium Light Filtering Sheer Shades, 2" Premium Room Darkening Sheer Shades, 3" Premium Light Filtering Sheer Shades, 3" Premium Room Darkening Sheer Shades, 2" Value Light Filtering Sheer to Shade Shades & 2" Value Room Darkening Sheer to Shade Shades.
Your sheer horizontals will be fabricated to the exact lengh ordered, when the vanes are in the open position. When the vanes are rotated to the closed position, the shading will become 3/8" longer.
When closed on a inside mount, a slight puckering may occur on the lower most sheer section beccause of the contact with the sill. You may slightly raise the shading off the window sill. If preferred, the shading can be ordered 3/8" less than the measured length.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8”
Width
Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame or how wide you would like the blind or shade to be.
Make sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window and provide maximum light gap coverage. Example: If the window opening is 36", it might be helpful to order 40". This will provide 2" coverage on each side of the window.
There is no rule on the width of blinds other than to make sure that it is wide enough to cover the opening.
Write down that size making sure that it is the first number of the measurement. This is the width you will order.
Headrail will measure ordered width plus 1/4".
Fabric will measure ordered width minus 3/4".
Height
Measure the height you would like the blind to be by measuring top to bottom.
We recommend adding about 3 or 4 inches to this number to insure maximum light gap coverage and to cover the window completely.
Please be sure to know that the height measurement will always include the headrail. Example: if the height ordered is 80” this will be the height including the headrail (from the very top of the headrail to the bottom rail).
You will want to mount the headrail above the window frame. Please make a note that some windows have trim that might interfere with mounting so it's important to measure above the trim if this is the case.
Headrail is 2 7/8” in height.
The length of the shade will be the exact length ordered when the vanes are tilted in the open position. When the vanes are tilted shut the shade will become 3/8” longer.
*width and length measurements may vary +/- 1/8”
