I’m a renter and can’t drill holes. Does the no-drill mounting system actually hold up for a 48-inch wide window? My biggest fear is it falling down in the middle of the night.
Hey Emily! The tension bracket system is very secure for standard window frames — we’ve seen them hold perfectly on windows up to 72 inches wide. The pro spring mechanism keeps tension consistent so there’s no sagging or dropping. Since each shade is custom-made to your exact measurements, the fit is precise. Perfect for renters who need to leave no trace! – Admin
