45in x 64in White Cordless Cellular Shades TDBU - No Drill Install

In this review the LazBlinds 45in x 64in cordless cellular shade is assessed for renters and homeowners who want a clean, safe window treatment that installs without tools. The bottom line: this Top Down Bottom Up shade is best for inside-mount windows where a cordless, light-filtering solution with thermal and noise benefits is desired. Its standout feature is the patented No Tools-No Drill mounting system, which makes the shade quick to fit while still providing a snug, insulated honeycomb structure.

Key Features

• Inside mount only: The shade is cut to an actual blind size of 44 5/8in W x 64in H and is intended for a recessed window installation for a neat, built-in look.
• No Tools-No Drill system: The patented spring rod installation fits the window frame without drilling, allowing installation in about 30 seconds and preserving the frame for renters and landlords.
• Cordless top-down bottom-up: The cordless operation gives a tidy appearance and a safer environment for children and pets while allowing flexible light control.
• Thermal honeycomb construction: The non-sagging cell structure helps insulate against heat loss and heat gain, improving comfort and reducing noise from outside.
• Light filtering fabric: The soft non-woven polyester provides privacy while still admitting gentle daylight, suitable for living areas and bedrooms.
• Adjustable fit: The spring rod extends about 1in to accommodate window widths from roughly 44.7in to 45.6in, aligning with the 3/8in factory deduction for inside mounts.

Who It's For

This shade is ideal for renters, leaseholders, and homeowners who have a window recess at least 1 1/5in deep and want a no-drill solution that preserves the frame. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms where privacy and soft daylighting are priorities and where a cordless, child-safe option matters.

Those who should look elsewhere include anyone needing an outside mount or wider coverage than this size, or buyers who require complete blackout performance rather than light filtering. Also, if a window recess is shallower than the minimum depth required, the inside-mount design will not be compatible.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Fast, tool-free installation that avoids drilling and protects window frames.
• Cordless operation that enhances safety for children and pets and removes cord tangles.
• Effective light filtering with thermal and noise reduction from the cellular design.
• Good perceived value and fit, with customers noting solid quality and appearance.

Cons

• Inside mount only and requires a minimum frame depth of 1 1/5in, limiting where it can be used.
• Not a blackout fabric, so it will not provide full room darkening for all needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this shade be installed without drilling?
Yes. The patented No Tools-No Drill spring rod system installs the shade in the window recess without screws or brackets.

Will it fit my window if the opening is exactly 45in wide?
The shade is designed with a 3/8in factory deduction and the spring rod can extend about 1in so it fits window widths roughly between 44.7in and 45.6in; confirm your exact recess width before ordering.

Does it block out all light?
No. The fabric is light filtering to provide privacy while allowing soft daylight; it is not a full blackout material.
