Weffort Made-to-Measure Roller Shades: Custom Width, Height, Mount, and Roll Direction

on Oct 16 2026
Table of Contents

    Quick Answer: Weffort roller shades are built to the width and height you enter, in whole inches plus fractions down to 1/8 inch, with the mount, roll direction, motor side, motor version, and power option chosen on the same order[1]. That suits windows that fall between stock sizes, frames with handles or shallow recesses, and homes that want the shade matched to the smart-home platform already in use. Listed starting prices, before options and discounts, run from $99.99 for the No Drill Dark Series to $139.99 for the Dark Series Light Filtering shade[2]. Because every shade is made to order, measure by the rules for your exact product and check each field before you pay.

    One-line rule: Measure by your product’s rules, choose the mount from the recess, choose the roll direction and motor side from what sits around the window, and confirm every line before checkout.

    A made-to-measure order is a set of decisions, one field at a time. This page explains what each field controls, what the evidence shows about how the shades arrive, and what the configured price looks like. Measuring itself is covered in our measuring guide, and the full fit logic for mounts and roll direction is in our mount and roll-direction guide.

    What Can You Configure on a Weffort Shade?

    Each field on the order changes something you will see or use every day. The published order record from an independent review shows the fields in practice[1]:

    Order field What it controls Who it matters to
    Width and height, to 1/8 inch The size of the shade the factory builds Windows between stock sizes
    Mount: inside or outside Whether the shade sits in the recess or covers the opening Every window; the recess depth decides
    Roll direction: standard or reverse Where the fabric drops from the roller tube Windows with handles or cranks, and blackout plans with tracks
    Motor side Which end holds the motor, and with it the charging port or power cord Windows where one side is easier to reach or closer to an outlet
    Motor version Matter over Thread, Zigbee, or Z-Wave Homes matching a smart-home platform
    Power option Battery, plug-in AC, or hardwired AC Charging access and renovation plans
    Valance and bottom rail The finished look at the top and bottom edges Rooms where the hardware is on show
    Room label Which window each box belongs to Multi-window orders

    What Does the Evidence Show About the Fit?

    Independent reviews show made-to-order shades arriving ready to mount. In SmartHomeScene’s review, the shades arrived double-boxed in packaging sized to the window, pre-calibrated from the factory, with limits adjusted after mounting[4]; those units were Roman-style shades on Weffort’s Matter-over-Thread motor. Mighty Gadget’s roller-shade order records a 44 3/8 × 57 1/2 inch inside-mount shade, and the reviewer found inside-mount accuracy critical, with small leaks where the frame was not straight[1]. WIRED tested a Weffort roller shade on an office window and added its Matter-over-Thread motor to Google Home[5].

    Weffort designs and produces its shades in-house and develops its own motors[6]. The shades are cordless, in line with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s advice to choose cordless window coverings in homes with young children[7].

    How Do Width and Height Work?

    You enter each dimension as a whole number plus a fraction, down to 1/8 inch, as the reviewer’s 44 3/8 × 57 1/2 inch order shows[1]. Each series has a selectable size range in the configurator, and for an opening beyond it, you can email customer service with the measurements to request a custom quote before ordering.

    The measuring rule depends on the product. For roller shades, the two rules are:

    Product Width Height Rounding and deductions
    Standard bracket-mounted roller shades Smallest of three readings[8] Largest of three readings Round both down to the nearest 1/8 inch
    No Drill Dark Series Top inside width of the frame[2] Center height Round the width down and enter it as measured, since the factory deducts about 1/8 inch (3.2 mm); round the height up to 1/8 inch

    WIRED’s buying advice is to measure, measure again, and have a second person check[5]. Our measuring guide has the full method for each product.

    Inside or Outside Mount: Which Should You Order?

    Start with inside mount whenever the recess is deep and square enough. It keeps the shade within the opening and gives the cleanest geometry at the edges, and it rewards accuracy: Mighty Gadget’s reviewer found inside-mount accuracy critical[1].

    Choose outside mount for one of four reasons:

    • The recess is shallower than 1 3/4 inches for a cassette valance or 2 inches for a square valance.
    • Hardware blocks the fabric path after a standard inside mount and an inside mount with extension brackets have both been ruled out.
    • The frame is visibly out of square.
    • You want the window to look larger.

    Size an outside mount for coverage. Weffort’s measuring guide adds 3 to 6 inches to the width and height, calls for 2 to 3 inches of flat bracket space above the window, and sets the inside-mount depth thresholds above[8]. For darkness, the ranking is inside mount with compatible light blockers or tracks, then inside mount alone, then outside mount; our blackout mount guide shows where each mount leaks.

    When Should You Choose Reverse Roll?

    Roll direction Where the fabric drops Choose it when
    Standard From the back of the roller tube, close to the glass The fabric path is clear of handles and trim
    Reverse From the front of the tube, farther into the room A crank or handle needs clearance, or compatible tracks are part of a blackout plan

    With compatible tracks, Weffort’s product team recommends evaluating reverse roll, because the fabric sits nearer the cassette’s front edge and enters the tracks more directly[9]. Reverse roll does not change the fabric’s opacity on its own, so choose it for clearance or a track plan. The reviewer’s order specified reverse roll[1].

    Which Side Should the Motor Go On?

    Choose the motor side by access. The motor side sets which end of the shade holds the motor, and with it the charging port, the plug-in cord, or the hardwired connection. The solar panel works with the battery motor only[2]. That motor has a single USB-C port, which takes either the charging cable or the solar panel, so the shade charges from one source at a time and a panel adds no constraint to the motor side. Put the port on the side you can reach most easily for cable charging; for a plug-in AC motor, put the motor on the side nearest the outlet so the cord runs directly to it.

    Which Motor Version and Power Option Fit Your Home?

    Matter over Thread, Zigbee, and Z-Wave are separate motor versions chosen per order, power comes in three configurations, and controls can include a remote, wall switch, wand, app, and voice[3]. Pick the motor version that matches the controller, border router, or hub already connected to the platform you use; independent reviewers have run the Matter-over-Thread version with Google Home and Home Assistant[5][4]. Our Matter-over-Thread buying guide walks through that chain.

    • Battery: charged over USB-C and rated for 4 to 6 months per charge in normal use; the optional solar panel connects to the same port and lowers how often you charge by hand. Mighty Gadget’s reviewer reported a full USB-C charge taking 6 to 7 hours[1].
    • Plug-in AC: delivered with a cord and plug for a standard outlet, with no wall wiring.
    • Hardwired AC: the same AC motor connected inside the wall, arranged with customer service before ordering; OSHA’s electrical guidance is the reference for when that work belongs to a qualified person[10].

    The five-channel remote in the reviewer’s order runs up to five shades individually or all at once[1].

    What Finishing Options Change the Look?

    The top and bottom edges are where a made-to-measure shade shows its finish. The reviewer’s order specified a standard valance and a black square bottom rod[1]. The Signature Dark Series adds a reinforced roller tube that helps keep the fabric rolling straight, a fabric-wrapped aluminum bottom rail, and an optional cassette, and the Texture Series wraps its valance in fabric matching the shade[2].

    Fabric is the other visible choice. Samples are 5 × 8 inches, cut from the production fabrics, in 35 blackout and 38 light-filtering colors, and the Vinyl Series page lists Best for Kids™, OEKO-TEX®, and UL certifications for that series[2]. Best for Kids certification covers window coverings with no cords or inaccessible inner cords, verified by an independent testing laboratory[11].

    What Does a Made-to-Measure Shade Cost?

    FAQ

    How precise is Weffort’s custom sizing?
    You enter width and height in whole inches plus fractions down to 1/8 inch[1], and the shade is built to those numbers; one review describes packaging sized to the window[4]. The precision of the result follows the precision of the measurement.

    Should I deduct from my inside-mount measurements?
    Follow the rules for your product. For the No Drill Dark Series, enter the top inside width as measured, since the factory deducts about 1/8 inch (3.2 mm)[2]. For standard bracket-mounted roller shades, use the smallest of three widths and the largest of three heights, rounded down to 1/8 inch.

    What if my window is larger than the size range?
    Email customer service with your measurements for a custom quote before ordering, or call +1 877-933-3671.

    Is reverse roll better for blackout?
    Reverse roll does not change the fabric. With compatible tracks, it places the fabric nearer the cassette’s front edge for a more direct track entry, which Weffort’s product team recommends evaluating.

    How much does a configured shade cost?
    Listed starting prices run from $99.99 to $139.99 before options and discounts. One reviewer’s configured 44 3/8 × 57 1/2 inch blackout shade with a Matter-over-Thread motor, solar panel, and remote came to $492.96[1].

    Can I return a custom shade if I measured wrong?
    Custom-made shades are not eligible for return. Contact Weffort within 30 days of shipment, and the team will review the situation and help resolve defects, damage, or order discrepancies.

    Bottom Line

    A Weffort made-to-measure shade is ordered field by field: width and height to 1/8 inch, a mount chosen from the recess, a roll direction chosen from the hardware around the window, a motor side chosen for easy access to the port or outlet, and a motor version matched to the platform you use. Independent reviews show the result arriving sized, boxed, and pre-calibrated for the window it was built for.

    Start with fabric samples, measure with the guide for your exact product, and configure each window in the roller shade collection. For an opening beyond the listed range, email customer service for a quote before you order.

    Pricing reflects listed starting prices before options and discounts at the time of writing; confirm current prices before buying.
