Discover the Simplicity of Roller Shades

Roller shades use a single piece of fabric that rolls up onto an aluminum tube. They operate via a continuous‑loop chain, cordless spring assist, or a motor. The result is a clean, minimal look with smooth up/down control and precise stopping points.

• Light‑filtering: Softens daylight while preserving privacy.

• Blackout: Blocks outside light for bedrooms and media rooms.

• Solar (screen): Reduces glare and UV while maintaining outward views (various openness factors).
  Each option is available in many colors, textures, and patterns.

Yes—choose blackout fabrics. For the darkest result, use outside mount (to overlap the frame) and consider side channels or light‑blocking strips to minimize gaps.

Solar shades are roller shades made from a screen fabric that controls glare and UV while preserving views. Lower openness (e.g., 1–3%) blocks more glare and offers more daytime privacy; higher openness (e.g., 5–10%) preserves clearer views. Note: At night, solar fabrics provide limited privacy when interior lights are on.

Roller shades reduce heat gain and glare (especially solar and blackout fabrics) and help stabilize room temperatures. While not as insulating as cellular shades, they significantly improve comfort and can protect furnishings from UV fade.

• Roller: Minimalist, a single flat panel; strongest option for simple, modern lines.

• Roman: Soft folds of fabric; more decorative and tailored.

• Zebra (dual): Alternating sheer/solid bands for on‑demand view‑through or privacy.
  Choose based on the look you want and how much view‑through versus softness you prefer.

Pricing varies by window size, fabric, and controls. As a loose and general guide, custom roller shades often range from about $120 to $500+ per window; premium designer fabrics and motorization add to the total. Large spans and specialty add‑ons (side channels, cassettes) also increase price. Contact us to get a price for your needs.
