Roller Shades

Roller shades installed on large modern windows

Roller Shades & Solar Shades

Roller shades are built from a single piece of fabric that rolls up and down on a tube, creating a clean, minimal look that works in almost any room. Fabrics are available in a range of openness and light-filtering levels, from sheer to room-darkening, so you can decide exactly how much light and privacy you want.

Solar shades work in a similar way but are designed specifically to tame harsh sunlight. They help control glare on screens and reduce heat gain while still preserving your view to the outside. Both roller and solar shades are an ideal base layer and can be combined with drapery panels, valances or top treatments for extra softness and style.

Comfort, Protection & Energy Efficiency

When chosen with the right fabric, roller shades are an effective way to reduce glare and block a large portion of the sun’s UV rays. This helps protect your floors, furniture and artwork while making rooms feel more comfortable throughout the day. Many fabrics also contribute to better energy efficiency by helping to keep heat out in the summer and inside during colder months.

Because the design is so streamlined, roller shades are especially popular on large windows, sliding doors and wide openings where you want a modern, unobtrusive window treatment that still does a lot of work behind the scenes.

Delivery & Fitting Guide

Once your fabrics and options are confirmed, your roller shades are produced to size and checked for quality before installation. Our installers then return to mount the brackets, hang the shades and test each one to ensure smooth rolling and a level finish. Any final adjustments are made on site so everything looks and works exactly as expected.
