Classic Roller Shades

ROLLER SHADES
Our Roller Shades are both ideal decorative and functional choices to decorate your windows. To ensure your light and privacy needs are met in every room, we carry a range of Roller Shade fabrics tailored to each type of light. From softening the sun's harsh UV rays to blackout fabrics for bedrooms and privacy, you are sure to find a blind to meet all your needs.

FABRICS

A- LIGHT FILTERING
Light filtering shades allow diffused light to enter the room, giving your space more of a glow. Using a light filtering shade can brighten your room and reduce the need for artificial lighting, saving on electricity while creating a perfect backdrop for residential and commercial spaces

B- BLACKOUT
Blackout blinds are made with fabrics that block out incoming light and provide extra privacy in your home. They are most suited for bedrooms and rooms that require privacy.

C-SOLAR SHADES
Solar shade fabrics are designed to block the sun's heat and glare and have a similar appearance to roller shades. Solar shades have an openness factor related to the weave’s tightness and the corresponding viewthrough it provides (1%, 3%, 5%). In general, the higher the openness factor, the looser the weave and allows more light and more viewthrough. For example, if a shade has a 5% openness factor, it will let more light (and consequently more view) than a solar shade with an openness factor of 1%.

MOUNT TYPE
A- Inside Mount
Blind or Shade will be installed on the inside of the window frame. Finished measurement of your shade will be order width minus 1/8". For inside mount, it is recommended to check whether the mounting surface is leveled.
B- Outside Mount
Blind or Shade will be installed above the moulding or directly on the window frame. Outside mount is ideal if you don't want to see the window frame or moulding. We will make no adjustments to your order width.

Q:What Is The Difference Between A Roller Shade And a Solar Shade?
A: The mechanism of both shades is the same. The difference lies in the fabric. Solar Shade materials have been rated on their ability to block sun rays (usually by a particular percentage). Roller shade fabrics are not rated.

Q: What Is The Difference Between Light Filtering vs. Blackout Roller Blinds
A: Light filtering roller shades allow natural light to filter through your room. Most of our fabrics offer complete privacy while maintaining your view. Blackout roller shades are available in vinyl and fabric materials. They are designed to prevent light from coming in. Blackout roller shades provide full privacy.

Q: Will Roller Shades help insulate my windows?
A: Most of our Roller Shades materials will help cut down on heat, making it easier to maintain the temperature of your home. Heavier fabrics will offer better thermal performance. Call our customer service line to inquire about these specific fabrics.

COMPONENTS: All our roller blinds are manufactured to be maintenance free. All moving components are made using self lubricating materials. No external lubrication is necessary.

SHADE FABRIC: To maintain the shade fabric, it is required to occasionally wipe it down using a dry cloth. This will help free it from dust. If the shade fabric should become spotted, simply use a mild soap/detergent to clean the area. Periodic vacuuming with a brush attachment is recommended annually.

DESIGN ACCESSORIES: roller blind cassettes, valances and bottom bars require low maintenance other than the occasional dusting.
