No Tools Required - Artisan Select Custom Cordless Cellular Light Filtering Shades

PAL: We've had nothing but a great experience on all fronts with Redi Shade; innovative design(pressure mount), quality workmanship, very reasonably priced and great customer service when needed. Add that there are lots of size and color options available.

We had a very unusual requirement that other companies could not figure out. We wanted to add privacy cellular shades along with existing sheer roman shades on multiple windows. The challenge being that the roman shades were mounted inside the window frame, we had wide windows and needed to mount the privacy shades under and inside our existing shades. This meant it had to be very compact and attach at the ends only. We tried The Shade Store and multiple other local shade companies who carried lots of different brands. Everyone told us that we would have to start over and replace all our window treatments.

After doing lots of research we found Redi Shade and discovered they were available on Amazon. We ordered one Artisan Select shade to try out and it worked perfectly! We subsequently ordered 5 more and cannot say enough about how satisfied we are. We did have to have replace one shade after installation which became...

E. FabryE. Fabry: We had to replace a window and our existing shade no longer fit. Due to Covid, I did not want workers in the home, but also wanted privacy and blinds up ASAP. These shades are perfect and look even better than I expected.
I bought the corn silk which is an ivory color - but white facing to the outside (which is fine with me).
They took 2 minutes to install, including opening the box. I did watch on the online instructional video and had to push the side tab in on the mounting bar. You need to push hard and you will see/hear it snap in.
These are not room darkening shades, they do provide complete privacy though, and no cords provides a clean look.

Skinsfan89: Although these shades seem a little pricey, it is worth it for the ease in installation. You literally take it out of the package, push the spring trigger in, remove the adhesives from the tabs on each side, position it and push the button for the spring to release and hold in place. I bought these for our living room and it works great (doesn't allow any glaring light in, but isn't dark, either) - I would recommend the light blocking for a bedroom - they truly do block all the light out. The shades look great inside and out, too!

A. Grimm: I was petrified to buy these shades. Any shades, really. We get hot afternoon sun and our windows are metal so I wanted something that I didn't have to mount by making a hole in the window frame. For that, these shades were great. They block the sun, and are saving our wood floors and TV. They are easy up and down, and we've had them up a few months now and haven't had any problems.

The one problem I did have. I measured, measured, measured, just as instructed. I used two measuring tapes just to be sure, I had my husband do his own independent measurement. I spoke to a redi-shade employee about measurement. Can you guess what happened? When I received the shades they were SO tight I wasn't able to even use the tension mount. When you mount, you should be able to push a little trigger hear a "click" to know they are set. Not with my shades. I had to push those suckers in to get them in the window. And with the super-sticker on the end it meant that if I didn't get them right immediately I'd have to take them down, scrape off the sticky stuff and re-mount. Thus two of my shades are a bit crooked. But only if you REALLY look at them. That's really the only downside of these...

Cheri: I have a Bay window in my front room. the room was country style, white walls and the curtains covered the whole window. We recently changed the whole room to modern Med. When we painted the walls a peanut butter color the window went POP. the Bay window was so beautiful I didn't want to cover it. But, needed to at night. These redi shades look soooooo great. I got 4 panel for each window. they took longer to getout of the bubble wrap then to put up. It really was so easy. I also got them sized to order and$20.00 cheaper than going to the redi shade web site. Iam sold on Amazon.com
