Roller Shades

What are roller shades?

Roller shades are the simplest, most adaptable window treatment available: a flat panel of fabric that rolls up neatly around a slim tube at the top of the window. When lowered, they give a smooth, uninterrupted sweep of fabric; when raised, they all but disappear into a tidy roll. That clean, modern line is why roller shades suit almost every room in a Central Valley home.

Because the fabric is the star, roller shades come in an enormous range of colors, textures and opacities — so the same mechanism can create a soft, glowing family room or a pitch-dark nursery.

Light control options

The single most important choice with roller shades is fabric opacity. There are three broad families:

• Light-filtering — softens and diffuses daylight into a warm glow while maintaining daytime privacy.
• Room-darkening & blackout — blocks nearly all light for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms.
• Solar screen — an open-weave mesh that cuts heat and glare while keeping your view. Ideal for west-facing windows that take the afternoon Valley sun.

Benefits of roller shades

• Clean, contemporary look that works with any décor.
• Enormous fabric selection — colors, textures, patterns and performance weaves.
• Easy to operate and easy to clean.
• Motorization-friendly — one of the best treatments to automate with Somfy®.
