Roller Shades

Roller shades get their name from the way that they are designed and operate. Essentially a piece of fabric is attached to a tube; when the tube is rotated, the fabric “rolls” up onto the shade. Roller shades have been around for decades, but today’s shades raise and lower smoothly and feature a wide range of fabrics and styles to choose from. No wonder they are favorites among designers and homeowners alike.

All roller shades block light to some degree. Depending on how much light you want in the room, you have two options:  

• Light-filtering roller shades allow some light to filter through the roller shade, creating a soft, diffused light that gives the room a warm, inviting quality while preventing glare and providing privacy  
• Blackout roller shades block most light to keep the room as dark as possible, perfect for bedrooms, media rooms, and other locations you want to keep as light-free as possible.

Roller shades are available with three different lift system options for you to choose from—cordless, motorized, and corded:  

• Corded roller shades use a looped chain or cord – pulling the chain hand-over-hand lowers or raises the shade
• Cordless roller shades are child-safe mechanisms that have hidden spring in the roller shade’s metal tube that releases tension when you pull on the hem of the shade, allowing the shade to raise and lower easily
• Motorized roller shades have a rechargeable battery-powered motor inside to raise and lower shades via remote control for ultra-convenient operation – an especially good choice for hard-to-reach windows
