No new changes for this month. Still “HOT” especially for the Comfortex Silver Screens and Rio Woven Woods by Timber.

Hi. If you are ordering samples, a PO box address is OK. However, if you are placing a blinds order, we need a physical address. No PO Boxes. This can turn a simple order into a total nightmare. Trust us. Just got through with one of these and it was not fun. Secondly, if you are going to not be perminately at your ship to location, please, please order a month or more in advance. You never know what can happen such as back orders, damaged freight etc. and turning the order around after it has shipped can cause the same issues. Thanks.

Friendly reminder. I haven’t needed to post any policies and warranties since I started this blog over two years ago but, as stated in our policies and warranty pages, blinds that we offer are meant for actual windows that are on the inside of your location. Projection screens, room dividers, shutters used as door or room separators, outdoor applications etc are just a few examples of no warranty situations. The applications sound great and are doable in most cases but remember, No warranty. Sorry about that. Our manufacturers will not warrant this and neither can we so purchase with caution.

This useful information comes directly from the Hunter Douglas recipe for success series. You need a feather duster and a hand-held vacuum. You need to dust occasionally with a feather duster. You can also vacuum for a more thorough dust removal but only use a low suction, hand held vacuum. You can spot clean with a clean cloth, dampened with warm water and mild detergent.

Lastly if they get really dirty, you can take the blind to a professional to deep clean Vignette Shades using the injection/extraction or ultrasonic methods. Do not use the injection/extraction or ultrasonic cleaning methods on the head rail fabric and do not immerse the head rail in any cleaning solutions. You can always refer to the installation instructions.

Sunscreen Blinds to be discontinued are:

• Strie Bone ST 9000
• Strie Taupe ST9010
• Strie Cinnamon ST 9020
• Strie Dark Beige ST 9030
• Vue Veil VV9070
• Vue Veil Ivory/Beige VV9080
• Vue Veil Beige VV9090

According to Prestige, the manufacture of this product, “Please be advised that due to manufacturing issues, the fabrics are being discontinued and will be removed from the system. It is unfortunate however, repeated attempts by the supplier to remedy the issues associated with the use of this fabric in the manufacturing process left us with no alternative but to take them out of the collection.” Basically too hard to make without mess-ups. They will continued making this product until all resources are used up so if you have an order out for these materials, they will still be made.

Many bugs have been worked out. Main one was lack of estimated ship dates and tracking info. All orders have been placed but some customers will not get tracking info. I will try to get the back ones caught up today but am sure some will slip through. Do not worry. They are coming and thanks for your patience.

We just totally redesigned our shopping cart to make it much, much easier to track, place and organize orders. The look is much different than the old shopping cart. If you have suggestions to make it easier, better looking or find any bugs (hopefully not), really anything to improve it, let us know. I will take 3% off your order if you do find something and we change it. Just let me know(Louis)by email at support@shadesshuttersblinds.com. The suggestion has to be something we implement and I will need to know what order to apply the discount to. Thanks for your help.
