What to get right 01

Four decisions decide whether you like them in a year.

Roller shades go wrong in predictable ways, and every one of them is decided before anything is ordered. This is what your consultant is actually working out at the measure.

  1. 01

    Openness against orientation

    A 5% fabric on north glass is a waste of a view. The same fabric on a west wall at 4pm is not enough. Openness gets chosen per elevation, not per house.

  2. 02

    Inside or outside mount

    An inside mount looks cleaner and shows the frame. An outside mount kills the light gap at the edges. On a bedroom you almost always want the second one.

  3. 03

    Cassette or exposed roll

    A cassette or fascia hides the tube and the fabric roll, which is what makes a bank of shades read as architecture instead of hardware.

  4. 04

    Regular roll or reverse roll

    Regular roll drops the cloth behind the tube and hides the roll from inside. Reverse roll drops it in front, which is what clears a deep sill, a handle or a crank without the fabric fouling on it.

The fabric is the whole decision.

A roller shade is a simple machine. What changes the room is the cloth you put on it. Choose a level to see what each one leaves behind.

01

Sheer, 10% openness and up

The most open weave we hang. It takes the sting out of direct sun and softens the room without really shading it. Right where the view is the reason you bought the place.

The fine points

Roller shade questions.

01What openness should I choose?
It depends on the direction the glass faces and what you are protecting. As a rule, 10% and above keeps the view and takes the edge off, 5% to 3% is the everyday South Florida choice, and 1% is for hard west sun where heat matters more than the view. Your consultant will hold samples against your actual window before you decide.
02Are zebra shades worth it?
They are, where you want one shade to do two jobs. Rolling the bands into alignment gives you a sheer view, offsetting them gives you privacy, and you never change the hardware. They cost more than a plain roller and they are not a blackout.
03Can one shade cover a very wide window?
Up to a point. Past a certain width the tube starts to deflect in the middle and the fabric can telescope on the roll, so the honest answer is usually two or three shades on a shared headrail. Lined up on one bracket line they read as one run, and each one still rolls straight.
04Will a blackout shade really make the room dark?
The fabric will. Light still comes around the edges unless you deal with it, so on a bedroom we mount outside the opening or add side channels. If a room has to be genuinely dark, say so at the measure and we will specify for it.
05How do you clean them?
A vacuum brush or a dry cloth along the roll, and a damp sponge on a mark. Solar and light filtering fabrics do not hold dust the way a pleated or cellular shade does, which is part of why they suit a coastal house with the doors open.
06How long do they take?
In-stock fabrics are typically measured, made and installed in two to three days. Special-order fabrics and oversized or motorized units take longer, and you will get the real timeline in writing at the estimate.
07What if a shade fails later?
We made it and we hung it, so there is nobody else to call. Manufacturer coverage applies to the components and our own installers come back out for anything to do with the fit or the install.

Samples look different in a showroom than they do on your glass at four in the afternoon. That is the entire reason the estimate happens at your place.
