Original Pleated Room Darkening Shades

My guest room gets light from the street lamp and the morning sun. Despite having sheers over the window and drapes being drawn, light was still coming through. So, I ordered these to go on the inside trim and they performed as I needed them to. It also blocks out the warm summer sun. The windows are near the A/C vent and after a few hours, dryed out the adheasive and the shade fell down. I added 2 small pieces of 2-sided, heavy duty tape to each end at the top of the shade and that did the trick. 6 shades in the package makes it a great deal! I was able to use some in other rooms that needed to block the summer sun.

These are amazing! We have a sunroom that doubles as a guest room. We don’t want permanent window blinds in the room. We also have a lot of windows (9 windows and a sliding glass door) so window treatments would get very pricey! One of my neighbors had these paper blinds and I was intrigued. I bought some and I am convinced these are the best thing ever! I measured the windows, then marked and cut through the blinds when folded up, with a razor knife. The adhesive is very sticky but I did have to take one off and put it back as it was crooked, and was able to do so. They look very nice...from a distance you can’t tell they are paper.They do come with clips, but we bought some so we could match the color of the blinds, as the ones that came with it were white, and we bought the gray shades. I wanted something to help block out light when it was used as a guest room but not black.My neighbor uses these full time and replaces them when they get dusty (every six months or so since she has white ones). We only need them when we have company, so it is a great deal for us!You can see in the picture that one is down and the one next to it is clipped up.

I recently purchased a new home and it did not have window coverings. I ordered blinds from another company and the manufacture and install was going to take a 6 weeks. I saw this product on Amazon and figured it was a good solution. The product arrived in two days without special shipping. These products are easy to install with a step stool or small ladder if you are height challenged like myself. They are easy to trim to fit and are fairly durable.Living in the Southwest the average indoor temp in my home is about 90. Not using AC, after installing these paper blinds, the temp was reduced. I highly recommend this product. The only concern was I needed 7 and they come in packages of 6. I used butcher paper for the 7th window and it's fine. However, the paper does not compare to the efficiency of this product.I do not work for the manufacturer or any related industry. This is my honest opinion and YMMV. I believe you will be satisfied with this product as a temporary solution to uncovered windows. I will post an update if there are any negative issues with this product. So far, none.

Easy to work with , thicker than the regular paper blinds you buy the hardware store, and the room darkening. I got the black ones. Really helped keep the sun out and my electric bill lower

Update: I am upgrading this to four stars. The only reason I’m doing this is because we just got our permanent blinds in today. Besides slicing up my fingers during install, they have done a magnificent job as shades and they have been durable for a couple months with zero problems. I was able to take them off and cut up a few to cover the basement windows. All I know, this is a good product and value. Just wear gloves when you install!So I sliced a few fingers putting these up. I ordered two sets of six so they came in two boxes and although I ordered the same size they were different lengths as you can see in the picture. These are temporary so that didn’t bother me as much as getting my finger tips full of paper cuts. My fingers felt weird and then when I looked at them I saw they were full of cuts. I continued to put them up and despite being careful, I got a few more slices. Use gloves when you put these on. Come on Redi Shade! Get it together.

The shades are true to size and easy to use and very lightweight and I like that and they block light very well but the tape is not sticky enough therefore the blind doesn’t stay and I have to find other ways to keep it up and that just putting in too much work for something that is to be hassle free.

I was looking for shades but couldn't find what would work. Than I saw these and the price is unreal, so I figured they would be flemsy. There made of paper but pretty strong paper and so easy to use and you can't berry the price, and they have choices of color and size. If you need you can also cut to size very easy. They look great.

Ok here we goEveryone can see me naked so I bought theseHardest part for me was cutting themI have pretty decent hand strength from a decade of holding full drink carriers with 1 handI covered my door and 10 windowsThey stuck easily but my frames are woodBest option bang for buckIt's daylight outside and vampire vacation dream in the houseI do not have pets and my 11 year old and my husband have not destroyed themI will post again if they come downBut again my windows are wood and depending on the climate and surface you keep can effect adhesiveI love them easy to installInexpensiveKeeps out the lightHard to cutThe paper reminds me of a paper fan it's pretty sturdy or like Japanese lanterns or folding screens you still have to take careWay better than plastic blindsYo so I want to update! It is Friday October 27 2022 and only two of my Reddit shades didn't stay up. So definitely thoroughly clean your windows or frames wherever you plan to stick it and also cut the ends so that there is not extra hanging down. They absolutely block out light. I have huge windows too. I also stuck one on my door with glass. I haven't ordered more but I will cause I still haven't completely finished the house since we moved in. I have them in my bathroom too and that one is going strong. So they have survived extreme cold and heat and humidity.
