We know window treatments can seem like a big task to tackle. When working with Everhem we strive to support you in every step of the way. We've noticed these few questions pop up frequently, so we asked our team of window treatment experts to bring you an answer that will help make designing your dream window treatments a breeze!
1. What is the difference between Inside and Outside Mount Shades?
Inside Mount is when the Shade is installed directly into the window casement. Outside Mount Shades are installed on the wall above the window or perhaps the face of the window's trim.
2. What are the benefits of adding a valance?
A valance is present when the shades operation is in the front rather than the back of the shade. We recommend this when you are looking for maximum blackout as the shade will sit flush with the window and won’t project.
3. What are the best products and combinations for optimal darkness?
If your priority is optimal darkness, we recommend Blackout Lining or to pair Blackout Roman Shades or Woven Woods (your choice!) with Blackout Drapery.
4. What are "stacks"?
Stacks are essentially where your Drapery will live when fully opened. We recommend 10-12” stacks of wall space per side for your Drapery so that they don’t interfere with the door or window when they are opened.
5. What are the benefits of mounting Drapery high?
Mounting your Drapery high will elongate any room and essentially open the space up. We recommend at least 12” of mounting space above your Drapery.
