Motorized inside mounts need at least 2 1\/2 in of window depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is dupioni silk, and are the slubs normal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDupioni is woven from uneven silk threads, so the fabric carries small raised slubs and slight shifts in color across the surface. These are part of the material, not flaws, and no two shades look exactly alike. The crisp weave holds neat, defined folds, and the sheen changes softly as daylight moves across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill strong sun fade a silk Roman shade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilk is a natural fiber, and long hours of direct sun can fade or weaken it over time, especially in bright colors. A lining shields the silk from the sun and gives the shade more body. Cotton 100% white 117 gsm or White 90 gsm keep the room bright; Thermal Blackout 250 gsm, Blackout White 150 gsm and Blackout Coffee 180 gsm darken it. On a sunny south or west window, a lined shade lasts longest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure Lucienne Roman shades for an inside mount?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the inside width at the top, middle and bottom and enter the narrowest figure, to the nearest 1\/8 in. Do not subtract anything: the factory deducts 3\/8 in from the headrail. Measure height from the top of the opening to the sill. The frame needs at least 2 in of depth (2 1\/2 in for motorized). Sizes run 16–98 in wide and 14–119 in high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose cordless, corded or motorized lift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCordless lift has no exposed cords: you move the shade by hand from the bottom rail, a common choice for nurseries and homes with pets. Corded lift uses a continuous cord loop on the left or right. Motorized lift uses a rechargeable motor with an optional remote, Wi-Fi hub and power supply; inside mounts need at least 2 1\/2 in of window depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring help: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/measuring-instruction-for-roman-shades-blinds\"\u003eHow to measure Roman shades\u003c\/a\u003e.
