The cordless Roman Shade makes a statement whether up or down. Its 100% blackout fabric extends and pleats beautifully. The pull handle is hidden within the bottom pleat and allows the shade to simply glide into position. Its seven inch valance hides the pleated shade when completely retracted for a clean and polished look. The Roman Shade is completely cordless, giving you a peace of mind if used around children or pets. The luxuriously soft blackout fabric is 100% polyester and easy to care for: simply dust or vacuum. Included brackets accommodate inside or outside mounting. Shades will fit windows 3/8" (0.95cm) smaller and 1.3cm wider than stated size. Slats are 1".
