No-drill Shades

Perfect for renters, tile walls, metal frames — no screws, no holes.

How It Works

Three mount options. No drills. No tools.

Tension Mount – Spring-loaded rod presses inside window frame. Removes instantly. Best for wood, vinyl, metal frames.

Adhesive Mount – Industrial-strength removable brackets stick to smooth surfaces. Holds up to 12 lbs. Removes cleanly with heat. Best for tile, glass, smooth walls.

Magnetic Mount – Strong magnets attach to metal frames. Instant on/off. No residue. Best for steel or aluminum windows.

Where to Use

  • Rentals – Keep your security deposit. Take shades when you move.

  • Bathrooms – Tile walls, no drilling needed. Adhesive or magnetic mounts handle humidity.

  • Kitchens – Windows above sinks. Install in 60 seconds.

  • Metal doors & windows – Magnetic mounts work perfectly.

FAQ

Will adhesive mounts damage paint?
No. Warm with a hairdryer, peel slowly. Residue removes with rubbing alcohol.

Can I use motorized shades?
Yes. Battery-powered motors work perfectly. Battery pack sits on windowsill or attaches with adhesive clip.

Are they secure?
Yes for daily use. For homes with large pets or climbing toddlers, we recommend standard drill-in mounting.

Can I take them when I move?
Yes. Tension and magnetic mounts remove instantly. Adhesive mounts remove with heat. Reinstall at your next home.
