Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about quotes, measuring, delivery, and how we work. Still stuck? Email inquiries@veyrashade.com or ask about a free online consultation to walk through measuring and ordering.
Why don't you show prices on the website?
Every window is custom — fabric, size, mount, and motor options all affect the quote. We review your full order table and send itemized pricing, usually within 24 hours. That way you get accurate numbers for your exact specs, not a generic estimate.
How does the price-match promise work?
Send us a competitor's written quote with the same product type, dimensions, fabric level, and control options. Upload it when you submit your order or reply to our quote email. We'll work to beat their price on matching specifications.
How long until I receive my shades?
After you approve and submit your order (post-quote), allow about 4–6 weeks for manufacturing and delivery by sea freight. Air freight is typically faster. Oversized items can take longer. Timing varies by product line, size, and order volume — we'll confirm the expected window in your quote.
What's the difference between a quote request and placing an order?
Building and submitting on our site is a quote request — no charge, no commitment. We review your order table, confirm options, and email pricing. When you're ready to proceed, we'll send payment and final-order instructions.
Can you help me measure my windows?
Yes. See our measuring guide and printable worksheet. We also offer a free online consultation — by video or email — to walk through measurements room by room before you submit. Mention it in your order notes or email inquiries@veyrashade.com.
Inside mount vs. outside mount — which should I choose?
Inside mount fits within the frame for a clean look — enter the narrowest width and longest height of the opening. We apply standard factory deductions for clearance; do not subtract them yourself. Outside mount covers the frame and adds overlap for better light blocking — enter the full coverage size you want. These are opening/coverage measurements, not finished product cut sizes.
Are the dimensions I enter finished product sizes?
No. Enter your window opening (inside mount) or desired coverage (outside mount). We and the factory convert those into production sizes with normal clearances. If you are unsure, request a free measure review before approving production.
What motor options are available?
Roller, zebra, roman, honeycomb, Dream, and curtain-track options vary by motor. Many products offer 110V plug-in or rechargeable lithium battery power; some battery curtain systems are remote-only. Tuya Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and Matter availability depends on the selected motor and power source. Tuya options use the Tuya app. Matter requires a compatible Thread border router, such as supported Apple Home, Alexa, or Google Home devices. We confirm compatibility in your quote.
How do I choose fabric colors and see real samples?
In the order builder, select a preferred color family (white, beige, gray, linen, and more) plus fabric opacity (blackout, semi-blackout, sunscreen, sheer, etc.). We do not lock a specific factory fabric code on the website — exact codes are confirmed on your quote, and can be reviewed privately or on a free consultation before you approve production.
Want a closer look? Book a free online consultation and we’ll hold our fabric books up on camera so you can compare textures and opacities. If you specifically need a physical feel of one or two options before ordering, mention it in your notes and we’ll arrange small cut swatches when we can.
What is VeyraShade Measure Assurance?
Every order table submitted on our site undergoes a thorough Measure Review by our team. We check width-to-height proportions, mounting depths, and mechanism clearances before generating your quote. If you have any doubt about whether a window was measured correctly, we offer a free walkthrough consultation (by video or email) to verify your dimensions before production.
What if I need to change something after I get my quote?
Quotes are not a commitment. Reply to the quote email with any fabric, size, mount, or motor changes and we’ll revise the pricing before you approve production. Once an order is submitted to the factory, changes may not be possible or may require a remake fee — we’ll tell you clearly before anything is locked in.
Which smart home ecosystems work with VeyraShade motorized shades?
Our motorized options work with the leading smart home and voice control ecosystems:
- Apple Home: Native control via Matter over Thread on lithium battery motors (requires Apple HomePod mini, HomePod 2nd gen, or Apple TV 4K).
- Amazon Alexa: Matter over Thread on supported Echo devices (e.g. Echo 4th gen) or via the Tuya Alexa skill for Wi-Fi and Zigbee motors.
- Google Home: Matter over Thread (Nest Hub 2nd gen, Nest Hub Max) or via the Tuya Google Assistant integration.
- Samsung SmartThings: Direct Matter over Thread pairing with SmartThings Station / Hub v3 or Tuya cloud link.
- Handheld Remotes: 1, 2, 6, or 16-channel AC123 multi-channel remotes for simple, zero-hub manual control.
Tuya options use the Tuya app. Tuya Zigbee needs a Zigbee hub / gateway. Matter needs a Thread border router for Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or SmartThings. In the order builder, when you select Zigbee or Matter you can tell us whether you already have a hub or want one quoted with your order. We confirm all motor and protocol specifications on your itemized quote.
Do lithium battery motors need a solar charging panel?
Solar charging panels are not listed as a standard website option. Lithium motors recharge with the included charger (or wired power where selected). If you have a special power question, note it on your quote request and we’ll advise.
What do the solar screen openness percentages mean (1%, 3%, 5%, 10%)?
Openness determines how tightly the solar screen fabric is woven:
- 1% Openness: Maximum privacy, highest heat blocking, and maximum glare reduction (ideal for home theaters and computer monitors).
- 3% – 5% Openness: The most popular balanced option — excellent glare control and UV protection while preserving natural daylight and outdoor views.
- 10% Openness: Maximum outward view and daylight transmission, with moderate UV filtration (ideal for north-facing windows or rooms with stunning vistas).
Do you offer a Trade Program for interior designers, architects, and contractors?
Yes. We work closely with interior designers, architects, general contractors, and property managers on residential developments and commercial spaces. You can email your schedule of windows or blueprints directly to inquiries@veyrashade.com for volume trade pricing.
Do you install shades, or is it DIY?
Most customers install themselves — hardware and instructions are included. See our installation guide for what to expect. Need help after delivery? Contact support@veyrashade.com.
Can I save my order and finish later?
Yes. The order builder saves to your browser automatically. You can also download a PDF summary or CSV, or use the share link from the save banner to resume on another device.
