Re: MCD Innovations day/night shades for the LD December 24, 2022, 10:51:49 pm [Split new discussion out of the Yahoo Archive board - Michelle]Well now… hi Mike Coachman!! I am in the process of using same company to build my window shades. I just installed Levelor roller blinds in the kitchen window and over the dining table. Once I install the new shades made in Katy Tx I can decide if I want to go ahead with more all from same company. 2 Likes
Re: Re: MCD Innovations day/night shades for the LD Reply #1 – December 25, 2022, 10:51:14 am Mar, The MCD shades is what LD has been using in the new coaches and they work quite well. The roller tension can be adjusted if needed. The daytime black screen shades some felt are unnecessary however I have found them to be quite handy many times over. I like having them mounted closest to the glass with the solid shades mounted inward. Just a personal preference. It can be somewhat difficult mounting them under the valances. I loosened the valance screws at the top and removed them at the base to make a little more room for attaching the metal roller mounts. Hope your project goes well and "Merry Christmas!"Mike C 2 Likes

Re: MCD Innovations day/night shades for the LD Reply #3 – December 26, 2022, 04:57:57 am Hi Mar; I believe in the past at least one person put a roller shade in the back window, and used aluminum 3/4" or 1" wide by 1/8" thick flat bar stock. They mounted a vertical strip on each side, at the ends of the window. It would keep the shade and the roller, an even distance from the slanted window. Neater, and not hanging straight down. (sort of a very small valance in construction. You might be able to use a clear piece of acrylic also.) RonB 1 Likes
