    Measure your window in top, middle and bottom as some windows can be as much as 1/2" off square. Use the smallest width for your shade's width value.

    Hi can I ask you a question please? do you think the thickness of 32mm diameter aluminium tube for a length of 198cm is too long? - the material weight is 1.1kg, is it likely to sag in the middle etc?

    Great tutorial - this man's concept of inches is quite off, but if he thinks 7-10" is equal to 4-5", he probably keeps people happy, provided for and pleasantly surprised. ;)

    Great video instructions! I am about to buy your roller shade clutch kit, but for fabric, can I use Roc-Lon Home Decor Fabric Lining 54"- Budget Blackout Flame Resistant White as shade fabric?

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, that fabric can be used for the roller shade clutch kit.

    • @mabuhayPinay
      @mabuhayPinay ปีที่แล้ว

      Patrick, I'm curious to know how the RocLon fabric turned out. It's good to know that you can source fabric outside of Sailrite

  • @t.h.nguyen5193
    @t.h.nguyen5193 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why do you factor at 1 1/8 inches instead of 1 1/4 or 1 inch? What are the reasons behind the number? Is it because of the hardware? Thank you.

    may i ask a question... i only have to replace the Aluminum Roller Shade Blind Rod (78 imches) because it broke open... i will reuse the fabric, etc... so i got a new rod (from METechs ) and ma seeing your wonderful instructions... there is just ONE elementmissing where i don't want to mae a mistake: which DOUBLE SIDED tape to use? can you help?

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The double sided tape on the rod is a supper basting tape: www.sailrite.com/Seamstick-1-2-Super-Basting-Tape-by-3M-60-Yds It is rather expensive. You might find that this also works: www.sailrite.com/Seamstick-1-2-Basting-Tape-for-Canvas-50-Yds it is not as aggressive, but costs less.

    my window is 92" wide. will the long clutch rod sag in the middle because of the long unsupported span?

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, it will not sag in the middle. Let us know if you have more questions. Here is the kit for you: www.sailrite.com/Roller-Shade-Clutch-96-Kit

    • @celticphoenix2579

      I also have a really long window but I am renting so was wondering if I could put a wooden box inside the window area onto which I can fasten this roller blind? I am not permitted to make any holes in the wall or even paint the place.

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, this shade can be mounted to a wooden valance box.

    What prevents the cut edge from fraying?

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We only pick fabrics that do not fray when cut. Here is a link to those fabrics: www.sailrite.com/Fabrics/Home-Fabric/Roller-Shade-Fabric

    @t.h.nguyen5193 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why 1 3/8 inches? I am curious as to why such significant reduction. I can't factor only .5 inch or 1 inch? Thanks.

    • @SailriteDIY
      @SailriteDIY  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We don't want the width of the shade to be close to the window's frame, so 1 3/8" would mean the edge of the shade will be about 5/8" from the side of the window.
