What are extended returns?
Extended returns are returns that are made wider (deeper) than the shade headrail to close the gap between the back of the headrail and the wall.

Are extended returns available for all shade?

This option is available for outside mount only, standard or waterfall style, and available for all control types.


Are there any deductions or specification changes made to the shade?

Yes, the factory will make the necessary adjustments based on the width you provide on the order. You do not need to make any adjustments. The details below apply to both standard and extended return depths.

  • Standard shades with a valance (shade off the back of the headrail): the shade and headrail will be made at the width ordered, the valance will be made 1/2" wider (1/4" on either side) to allow the returns to sit flush behind the valance. 
  • Waterfall shades (shade off the front of the headrail): the shade will made at the width ordered, the headrail and back valance will be made 1/2" less than the ordered width (1/4" on either side) to allow the returns to sit flush behind the shade.
