Will a Protruding Window Frame or Door Handle Obstruct the Movement of the Shades?

Protruding window frames, door handles, or other obstacles may affect the smooth operation of your shades. Please refer to the following steps to determine and resolve any potential issues:

1. Check If There Is Enough Clearance

• Measure the depth of the obstacle and compare it with the detailed installation size specifications of the shade you intend to purchase.
• Refer to the installation size here: Detailed Installation Size Specifications to ensure the shade will move smoothly without obstruction.

2. Solutions If the Obstacle Is Too Thick

• Choose Reverse Roll – The fabric rolls away from the window, creating extra clearance.
  
  
• Use Extension Brackets – These brackets increase the distance between the shade and the wall to bypass the obstruction.
  
  
• Opt for an Outside Mount – Installing the shade on the wall or above the window frame ensures smooth movement without interference.
