I had called around several window and glass companies about a solution sunlight coming in an Arch Window where a normal window treatment won’t work. They offered expensive solutions involving a service technician to install. Then I discovered Redi Shade. Actually I saw this on another house having the same problem I have. Very affordable and easy to install solution.

Not much to say, but installation was easy and it's still going strong! An essential piece towards mitigating the amount of sun in my study.

Cutting this shade for a perfect arch shape is super easy. My window is an “imperfect” arch shape. The cutting was a bit more difficult. I took my time. Thought through the process and ended up with a perfect fit. The shade is a light filtering shade and that is exactly what you get. Very good value for the money.

For my previous house, I had purchased arch window shades for $100+ for each window. This time, I decided to try these out first. They were simple to install. There’s wiggle room if you cut them correctly. Remember to sharpen your knife before you start. I did 3 windows. Pics are from the first window I did. First window required me to cut the shade 3x, 2nd window, I had to cut it 2x, and the last one only required 1 cut.For me, it was better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, my arch wasn’t a “perfect arch size.” The window pictures displayed size was 67 1/2 x 33. So doubling the height would’ve only gotten me to 66” and the directions want you to take of 1/4”. In regards to the measurements, I cut it to 65 3/4. Make sure you center the plastic stand in the center. I used some clear shipping tape to keep it steady. From there I fanned it out and it was a perfect fit (remember I cut it 3x on my first try.) Here comes the wiggle room. I stretched it out to reach the end of the arch before actually taping it down and did the same for the other side. Keep in mind that the length was 67 1/2 but I had to trim it to 65 3/4 to fit the height. Voila!! Perfect arch!Make sure you clean the sill very well to ensure adhesion. Also, please note that one side is white (a bit shiny like it’s laminated) and the other side is like a fabric gray color. It looks a bit ombré because it’s so dense at the base. It appears to be quite sturdy and should last for a good long while. It actually looks better in person. I promise! ; )

it was easy to cut to size. I added an aluminum flat to both sides (using the sticky tape) which meant I could sit it in place, opened out, and it stays there. I can close the fan and take it down to clean the window. Win win.

We have been struggling to find a light blocking blind for our 1/2 circle window in our bedroom. We've tried various things, but this one is a game changer. If you're looking for a darkening blind, look no further!

Extremely happy with this purchase. The shade looks nice, adds privacy and tones down direct sunlight without leaving the room dark. Most importantly, installation was easy. The rest of my review compares installation of this shade to a much more expensive department store shade.This shade replaces two failed shades from a mall anchor store that cost 75 bucks a pop and look identical. The expensive shades disintegrated in the sun after only 15 months. Stupidly, I bought a second identical one to replace the first. Again, after just over a year the shades began to tear leaving my window looking like someone had cut a pie slice out of the covering.Admittedly, when I opened this package the shade seemed chintzy. Instead of a plastic strut across the bottom edge, I found flimsy cardboard with two sided tape. It took less than a minute to cut the shade to size with a utility knife. I had to use a band saw on the more expensive shades, so plus one for the Redi Shade.Installation is where this shade won me over. The expensive shades couldn't support their own weight which meant "fat guy on a ladder" yoga poses while I attempted to both hold the shade and drill and mount the support tabs. The Redi Shade fabric is light and the length is perfect to "spring" the shade into place under tension. The more expensive shades that I bought were inexplicably long which meant almost no tension, and as a result, they required plastic tabs for support.The flimsy cardboard that I mentioned is partly responsible for easy installation. The shade with the plastic channels had to be snapped into place prior to sticking the base to the sill, which was difficult to do while holding the shade up. The plastic center mount has no channels so you only have to drop the cardboard end into place and press firmly.Tip: Find the center of your window opening and make a small pencil mark. Center the plastic piece on the mark. To install, peel the double sided tape paper where the two ends meet in the center. You can peel the paper back while pressing the shade into place.I can't speak for longevity. The sun could certainly destroy this fabric like it did on my other shades, but ease of trimming and installation have won me over. Couldn't be happier.
