Where It Fits In Washington
Where Roller Shades Fit In Washington
A roller shade is the simplest shade we make, and it covers everything from a tall window near the Square to a wide patio door in Cypress Ridge.
- Family Rooms Facing WestA 5% screen cuts the late day glare on the TV and still lets you see the yard, and a motor can lower it on a schedule before the sun gets low.
- Older Windows Near The SquareA tall, narrow window gets a shade built to its exact width, mounted inside the casing where the depth allows it or over the trim where it doesn't.
- Patio DoorsOn a sliding door, magnetic hold downs keep the bottom of the shade steady each time the door is used, and a PowerWand or Cordless Lift means no chain hanging by the handle.
- Kids' BedroomsBlackout fabric in side and bottom channels gets a bedroom dark for an early bedtime in June, when the sun is still up past eight.
Choosing Your Fabric
Screen fabric for the daytime, and a plan for privacy at night
A Roller Shade is one piece of fabric on a tube, and when it's raised, it rolls up tight at the top of the window and leaves the glass clear. That simple design is why it works on almost any opening in a Washington house, from a tall window in a home near downtown to the wide glass of a two story great room.
The fabric does the real work. Screen fabrics are rated by openness, and a more open weave gives you a clearer view while a tighter weave blocks more glare and heat. A screen is see through at night with the lights on, so bedrooms and street facing rooms get a light filtering or blackout fabric, or two shades on one bracket with a screen in front and a blackout behind.
We carry thousands of roller fabrics, and your Design Specialist brings the samples to your Washington home so you can see them against your own walls in your own afternoon light. You'll have an exact, itemized quote before we leave, and the shades are installed 4 to 6 weeks after you order.

Straight Answers
Roller Shades questions from Washington homeowners
Yes. The more open the screen, the clearer the view, and a 10% screen keeps the yard sharp while a 3% screen trades a little of that view for more glare control. Your Design Specialist will hold both up at your window so you can decide with your own view in front of you.
Yes. We measure each opening ourselves, and the shade is built to that size. When an old casing is too shallow for the roll to sit inside, we mount the shade on the trim instead, and a fascia or cassette can finish the top.
Yes. A tight screen fabric blocks a good share of the sun's glare and heat at the glass, and a blackout fabric blocks all of the direct sun. For the most heat control the shade goes outside the window, and on a covered patio an Exterior Patio Shade does exactly that.
On a tall window, a wide window, or a room where the sun arrives at the same hour every day, yes. A motorized shade runs from a remote, your phone or your voice, and it can lower itself on a schedule before the afternoon glare starts.
Yes. A Cordless Lift, a PowerWand or a motor leaves no cord or chain hanging at the window, and those are the options we recommend for a nursery, a playroom or any room where kids and pets spend the day.
Yes. The fabric carries a lifetime warranty that transfers to the next owner if you sell, and our Carefree Guarantee adds five years of free service on defects and one Life Happens repair for an accident.
