FAQ
What sizes do these shades come in?
We are offering configurations that accommodate the following window widths:
Small (24" - 36"), Medium (36" - 48") and Large (48" - 60").
During the simple installation process, the window shades are aligned perfectly with the actual width of the window opening.
All window shades will work for window openings up to 84" high.
My windows are wider than 60" or higher than 84". Will you be offering additional size options in the future?
Our engineers are working on additional options including larger size options. Please bookmark our website and subscribe to our mailing list to be notified when additional options are available.
You can also direct inquiries and requests to hello@madodynamic.com, and someone will get back to you.
How much do these shades cost?
We are working hard to streamline our manufacturing and supply to ensure you get the best product at a very affordable price. Our pricing (including discounts) will start at $279.
More details, including prices for each size option, will be forthcoming when we go live on Kickstarter in Q1 2025.
What material are these shades made of? Are they available in a variety of colors?
We offer two types of insulating honeycomb fabrics: one for light filtering/privacy and one for blackout.
The Light-Filtering fabric uses a sheer duo-tone non-woven fabric with a linen look.
Our Blackout fabric is also non-woven fabric with extra insulation and white backing, that offers the maximum benefit of energy-savings and noise reduction properties.
We are pleased to offer both these fabrics in two popular color options: Timeless White and Modern Carbon.
How do these shades save me energy?
With the right window shades, you will be able to use the power of sunlight to ensure you are getting the right amount of light and warmth in your home, without having to resort to artificial lighting and air-conditioning.
Mado C-Series shades are available with AI software (Eco Mode) that schedules the shades to open and close depending on the time of day, intensity of sunlight and temperature conditions.
These shades feature "honeycomb" or "cellular" style fabric that is extremely efficient in keeping the home warm or cool, insulated from the outside. Furthermore, Mado's patent pending technology allows you to cut the shades to the precise width of your windows. This gets you even closer to achieving as high as 20% in energy savings.
Mado shades efficiently capture solar energy for use while raising and lowering the shades. No batteries or wiring is needed to operate the shades.
Can I control these shades remotely?
Mado C-Series automatic window shades are motorized, and can be controlled remotely using the included remote control. These shades are also Matter-compatible, which means that you can connect them to your home network and control them via Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa etc.
How well do these shades block light?
Mado C-Series window shades are extremely effective in blocking light. Specifically, to block light completely, you would purchase the "blackout" type. Additionally, the highly precise fabric trimming process during installation ensures that your window shades are perfectly nested inside window frame, ensuring no light can bleed through.
How can I be certain that these shades will fit perfectly?
Mado's patent pending system empowers you to trim the shades so that they are an exact fit to the window, especially when you are mounting the shades inside the window frame. The perfect fit is achieved because you are literally using your windows as a measuring template to trim the fabric before installing. The tool required to trim your shades to size is included in your shipment.
How long will it take to install Mado shades?
Actual installation time will vary based on the individual and the window configuration. In our experience, most installations done "inside" the window frame are comfortably completed in 2 - 5 minutes by first-time non-professional installers.
While the ideal installation is "inside" the window frame, shallow window-frames may require an "outside" installation requiring a drill and usage of the optional brackets provided in your kit. This will add a few minutes to the overall installation time.
