One flat panel of fabric, cut to your opening. The least visible way to take control of a window, and the easiest to motorize.
A roller shade is a single width of fabric on a tube. Raised, it disappears into a slim cassette or behind a recessed pocket in the ceiling; lowered, it is a clean flat plane with no folds, no slats, and nothing to dust.
That restraint is why it works under drapery, in a modern room where anything softer would look fussy, and across a window wall where six matched shades need to read as one line.
The same shade can be almost transparent or completely dark, and the fabric decides it. We carry linens and linen blends, performance weaves that hold color under Florida light, and solar screens rated by openness factor.
Cordless as standard in any room a child uses. Motorized anywhere the shade is out of reach, wide enough to be heavy, or part of a run that should move together.
Exposed roll for the plainest installation, a fabric-wrapped or metal cassette where you want the tube hidden, a Regency cornice to finish the top in fabric or paint, or a recessed ceiling pocket so nothing is visible at all when the shade is up.
Inside the recess keeps the trim visible and is the tidier look. Outside mount blocks the light that escapes down the edges, which matters in a bedroom. For blackout, side channels close the edges completely. Decided at the measure, not before.
The hembar is the part you see every day. It can be a sealed hem, wrapped in the shade fabric, or left as a clean metal profile.
Drapery softens the room; the roller does the job. Together they cover privacy, glare, and heat without either one having to compromise.
Six windows, six motors, one button. Because there are no folds or slats, a long run of roller shades lines up in a way no other treatment manages.
A blackout fabric with side channels and an outside mount is the only combination that genuinely blacks out a Florida bedroom at seven in the morning.
Nothing motorizes as cleanly as a roller. The motor lives inside the tube, so a motorized shade looks identical to a manual one — there is no bulk added and nothing to see.
Rechargeable motors need no wiring and recharge in a few hours. Hardwired is what we specify when the shades are part of the house rather than an addition to it. Both run on Lutron controls, on a remote, a keypad, your phone, or a schedule.
About motorized shadesOn an inside mount, a little always does — the shade has to clear the recess to roll. Where that matters we either mount outside the opening or add side channels, which close the gap completely.
Up to a point. Past a certain width the tube starts to deflect in the middle and the fabric tracks badly. We split the run into matched shades on a shared headrail, which reads as one line.
It depends on how often the shade is used. In general, a charge lasts anywhere from six months to a year and a half, and the motor tells you before it runs out. A solar strip on the glass keeps it topped up on a sunny window.
A feather duster, not a vacuum. Beyond that, follow the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning method for your fabric. We note which yours is on the paperwork we leave with you.
The same treatment in three different rooms, and the two details that decide how it looks when it is up.
The same job, done in soft folds. Warmer in a room where a flat panel would read as too plain.
