4.0 out of 5 stars decent shade
I bought a couple of these for my 2 half-circle windows on the front of my house. Each room becomes warm in the summertime, with the sun beating through the windows. This shade blocks the direct sunlight, but will still let ambient light through, which is fine for my needs. The rooms are much cooler now with this in place. The shades were easy to cut with a...

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money
I bought 2 of these and was thrilled when they came. I bought 2 after reading the review about the shade being not very sturdy paper, and it is not all that sturdy.

Cutting was no problem. My big problem was getting it to stay in and on the window. I even went rummaging through my crafts, I used double sided tape, glue dots, etc. Nothing would keep this...

This review is from: Redi Shade 3122531 Redi Arch Paper Window Shade 24-by-48-Inch (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought a couple of these for my 2 half-circle windows on the front of my house. Each room becomes warm in the summertime, with the sun beating through the windows. This shade blocks the direct sunlight, but will still let ambient light through, which is fine for my needs. The rooms are much cooler now with this in place. The shades were easy to cut with a fine-toothed hacksaw. The only thing keeping me from scoring 5 out of 5 was the description indicating that the shade was made of vinyl and was washable. This is not the case, or at least it's not the type of vinyl I was expecting. It's more like a sturdy paper, and I am reluctant to wash it with water for fear of damaging the shade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick and easy shade, December 2, 2007
This review is from: Redi Shade 3122531 Redi Arch Paper Window Shade 24-by-48-Inch (Tools & Home Improvement)
Took 5 minutes to install.
Measure greatest length of the arch, cut about 1/4in shorter, put it in place. Center clear-plastic holder (6in wide, 3in tall semicircle) keeps it in place.
It is paper, but has a great appearance.

I purchased this shade for a small window in our bathroom that receives the early day sun. During the summer the sun can shine inside and heat the room up quickly. We needed something to block the sun but not darken the room in the summer months only. This is the perfect solution. It looks great and the room is still light. It will be stored away for during the rest of the year and be brought back out when needed. I'm so glad I found this shade and would recommend it to my friends.

I purchased our 1st Redi-shade in 1998 when we bought our first home. The half moon window allowed so much sunlight and raised the temperature on hot days and this was the perfect solution. This lightweight shade is easy to install, inexpensive and long lasting. I simply dusted it off for several years, and then finally replaced it last year when we repainted the room.
It looks good allows light in and keeps the temp down. I now use these in each of our arched windows. I had no trouble cutting these to fit. I simply measured the window, and then measured and marked the blind. I cut it with ordinary kitchen scissors.

This review is from: Redi Shade 3122531 Redi Arch Paper Window Shade 24-by-48-Inch (Tools & Home Improvement)
I got this product to shade the half-round window in my baby's room. I had priced an actual blind for the window - the quote was $637.00! I found this at a local store easily, so it's readily available and the right price. The website has other stores where you can buy it as well. Reading something from another user, I measured my window height and still left an additional half-inch, as my window is slightly wider than high. The blind was cut and installed in less than 5 minutes. The hardest part is making sure it is centered in the window. It is very sturdy and looks really nice - one of those products that does what it says and really exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it and would definitely buy it again.

I looked high and low for a simple solution for our east and west facing arch windows until I saw these. I was sceptical at firstdue to the price and the fact that they are paper. But, wghat a surprise! Easy to install and good looking too! I didn't use the adhesive strip and they still look good and stay in place. Thanks for this inexpensive and good looking product.

Ordered this shade after reading reviews and was very pleased with my purchase. It was easy to trim to fit and lets just enough light in to brighten the room but blocks enough to stop excess heat. I plan on taking it down for the winter to use the heat and light from the window. Definitly worth the money you pay for it.

I am thrilled with my RediShade! Most arch shades I was looking at were in the hundreds of dollars. I was planning to try to make my own, then I found this one on Amazon---and it was less expensive than if I were to make my own, AND a whole lot easier and a much better product. It looks great---and has a permanent home in my window.

This Redi Shade worked perfect in our half-circle window. Just cut off an inch as per the directions, and it fit perfectly. I didn't even have to use the tape on the bottom. Great for the price!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, October 29, 2009
This review is from: Redi Shade 3122531 Redi Arch Paper Window Shade 24-by-48-Inch (Tools & Home Improvement)

This product has helped tremendously in keeping the sun from "cooking" me inside my house. It's relatively easy to measure and cut to fit your windows. Recommend buying a special razor blade though since scissors, knives, etc, won't slice it w/precision.

Good value for the money!
