Bali's Exterior Solar Roller shades make it easy to enjoy the benefits of solar shades year-round. Ideal for porches, patios and decks. They are installed to the exterior of your window or patio to filter and diffuse light while maintaining the outdoor view, manage temperature control and block damaging UV rays. The lighter the fabric color, the better the temperature control. Fabrics and components are specifically designed for outdoor use. Cassette valances are powder coated and protect shades from exterior elements. The installation brackets are also coated for outdoor use. These shades can be cleaned with a mild detergent, with soft brushing and thorough rinsing, do not completely immerse the product. Shade must be completely dried before raising. Please note, these shades must be fully raised during inclement weather and windy conditions.
Special Caution!!!!
Outside mount blinds and shades are installed outside the window casing, covering an area larger than the window itself.

 The standard continuous cord loop provides easy operation of window treatments. A powerful clutch lifts the shade and holds it steady without the cord loop changing length. Included safety tension device keeps the cord out of reach of children and pets and eliminate dangling cord hazards. |
 Choose how your fabric will roll over the tube. Standard orientation (off the back) provides optimal light control, while reverse roll (off the front) will project the fabric away from the window to make room for obstructions like window handles or cranks. Reverse roll is not available with cassette valance. |
 Add a cassette valance to your window treatment to create a unique visual effect. Available in two sizes on continuous cord loop shades. Available in white, vanilla and brown. Cassettes have a powder coated finish and are rated for outdoor use. Cassette valances must be ordered at the same time as the shade. If ordering shades for multiple window sizes, please be sure to specify valance size on order to ensure all are manufactured with same size valance. |

Measuring for Roller Shades
Inside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
• Take the smallest of the three measurements to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
• The factory will make the correct deduction from the total width to allow for brackets and correct installation. Roller shades have generally large deductions due to the nature of the product (roller and hardware) -PLEASE CALL FOR SPECIFIC FABRIC AND TUBE DEDUCTIONS. Fabric is usually minimally- 1 1/8" or more from ordered width on inside mount .
Inside Mount Height
• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three spots across window.
• Take the largest of the three measurements.
Outside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame (outer edge) OR how wide you want the product to be.
• For Solar Shades or Roller Shades, make sure the measurement overlaps the window opening by at least 2" on each side to ensure light control and privacy.
Outside Mount Height
• Measure the top and bottom edge of window frame/trim. If no trim, be sure you provide the height you want the shade to be from top of the headrail to bottom of the bottom rail.
