We purchased this at a local Home Depot for $25. We cut the length of the shade 1/2" longer than the marking on the shade. This allowed us to fit the space of the arched window more precisely. We did not use the adhesive (not yet) as I have concerns about putting the adhesive on my oak trim. While making adjustments to the shade, the paper wrinkles, however, the wrinkles easily crease out with your fingers. I love this shade!! It fits nicely in the window and the acrylic center holder allows you to make adjustments in different spots to make the space between the shade and the wood more even. We cut the shade against a speed square with a sharp kitchen knife. I hope to put a sheer decorative fabric on this some day to give it a bit of color, but until then I am VERY HAPPY with this window shade.

Great idea, Great setup with the holder and adhesive on the shade. My only dislike is the measuring system on the blind. First I measured the window and cut the blind exactly to my measurement -1/8 inch for clearance. Once installed I had 3/4" clearance at the top and 1-1/2" clearance at the sides letting in light. The moral is, MEASURE THE WINDOW AND THE BLINDS WITH YOUR TAPE TO GET THE FIT YOU DESIRE. THE MEASUREMENT ON THE SHADE IS NOT EXACT, or mine was not. But it looks great and really helps with the Temperature control.

I felt uneasy after we got our half round Glass window over the front door entry system... I wanted to have privacy at night, but enjoy the beautiful crystal glass by day...
This fan shade fit my wish list.. affordable.. easy to fit ..looks great
Down side.. its paper..
Still Recommended!

I have a huge arch window (36" high, by 72" long) and wanted to cut down on the direct afternoon sunlight that beamed through the window. I was going to make my own shade to cut down on cost, but found this product. This shade works perfectly. It was easy to cut to size (you will need a sharp utility knife) and literally took 5 minutes to install. It is thin but durable paper, but when you have it up on the window sill it looks like an expensive custom made shade! The shade is attractive and stays put with great sticky tabs. It works perfectly at cutting out the harsh, hot light but lets ambient light in. I would highly recommend this as an easy, affordable, and attractive shade.

It's been up for a month now, and we're very pleased with this shade! The direct sunlight streaming through the window turns into pleasantly diffused light. It's made of sturdy paper, but very nice-looking, and looking up at it, texture's almost like the honeycomb shades.

As other reviewers noted, cut after measuring the window and the shade, don't use the built-in measurement tape. Place in clear holder, peel, stick, and voila. Stays firmly put, no issues with falling off or buckling, and ours is a large window (I only cut off one inch). Great temporary shade that looks custom-made.

I purchased a RediShade, which is just a paper fan for all practical purposes, for a small window in an upstairs bedroom and immediately noticed the difference in temperature as the room faces West and was extremely hot during the afternoon hours. It was easy to cut to size using a box cutter, and easy to install with the adhesive backing already on the product.

I purchased this larger version for a dining room window (which also faces West) and again was relieved with the ease of installation and the immediate solution to a long-standing dilemma. It's not fancy or elegant in any way but very functional and the cost was perfect for my budget.

I've had these up in my front windows for over a year now, they look nice..and once they're in the window--you can't tell that they're even paper. My only problem with them, is that the adhesive tape at the bottom is really useless...it didn't hold them down. I had to tape along the top just to keep it IN the window (it kept falling out otherwise), luckily...you can't see the tape from a distance so it wasn't a huge problem. I'd recommend this product.

I have this shade up for about a month. Install was straight forward; cut to size then place in space. For the price (cheap) and function (shade sun) it works very well. It would be 5 stars if it could open and close.

This shade is just what I was looking for!! Inexpensive and easy to install.Would highly recommend.

Recently purchased the 36x72 inch shade. It was up for about two days and fell down. The shade ripped very easily when we tried to put it back up. Nice product for days days and did cut out the light, but would not purchase again. Waste of money.
