help! What are they called?

[cass]

I have been given some thick rubber backed curtains that have cords threaded through them and when you pull they are drawn up. I dont know what they are called, and they have no pelmets,boards or even a place for a rod. I would like to hang them but need serious help. :o

sounds like a roman shade made out of a thermal drapery to me, and you didn't get the board they were mounted to.

can't you ask the person who gave them to you?
