Manual Blackout Shades

The cord used in manual window shades to lift them up or down can be hazardous for children. However, to ensure their safety, we use special chain guides to keep the chain tightly secured. It is crucial to use chain guides, as around 400 injuries and deaths have been reported over the past decade due to window shade cords.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I needed solar shades for the south facing windows, but liked the functionality of the vertical blinds currently there. Elan was very meticulous and figured out the best way to keep the verticals for their functionality and install high quality motorized solar shades. I am so pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Fifty Shades and Blinds.

It was a pleasure working with this company. Elan was very accommodating, meeting with us within several days of my initial call. He came to the condo unit with a huge variety of samples of window treatments. After explaining our needs, he showed us several ideas that would meet our expectations. He was patient and allowed us time to process the different options. The order was placed, and the window treatments were ready within 10 days or so, just as Elan had promised. The installation went smoothly, as Elan works efficiently. We love the way our rooms look! I highly recommend using Fifty Shades and Blinds.
