Roller Shades In Gardner
Roller & Solar Shades in Gardner, KS
Roller Shades with a solar screen fabric take the glare off the great room in a newer Gardner home and keep the view of the backyard. The young trees in subdivisions like Symphony Farms and Prairie Trace give the back windows little shade yet, and our Solar Shield Blinds Roller Shades roll up out of sight when you want the whole window back.
Where It Fits In Gardner
Where Roller Shades and solar shades fit in Gardner
Most of the Roller Shades we quote in Gardner go on newer houses with big back windows, and the choice comes down to how open the fabric is and how the shade runs.
- Great rooms off 167th StreetTwo story family rooms in Genesis Creek and Symphony Farms put tall glass on the back of the house. A 3% screen calms the glare on the TV while the yard stays in view.
- Finished basementsA basement rec room gets the TV and a few windows near the top of the wall. Light filtering or blackout fabric turns it into a movie room in the middle of the afternoon.
- Patio sliders onto new decksThe slider to the deck takes full sun on a lot with young trees. Magnetic hold downs keep the shade flat against the door as it opens and closes.
- Nurseries in a new houseCordless Lift, PowerWand and Motorized have no chain anywhere near the crib, and blackout fabric with side and bottom channels gets a nap room dark.
Worth Knowing
Fabric openness, operating systems and newer Gardner windows
The windows in a house built in Gardner in the last twenty years are square and true, so the Roller Shade conversation here is about size and fabric more than fit. Your Design Specialist measures each opening on site anyway, since two windows that look alike on a builder's plan can still differ, and a wide great room window or a pair of tall windows over the fireplace is where a motor starts to make sense. The oldest frames near Main Street have had over a century to move, and those get measured at the top and the bottom.
Solar screens are sold by openness. A 10% screen keeps a sharp view of the yard while it trims the glare, and a 3% screen adds daytime privacy for a front room facing the houses across the street. For privacy after dark, step up to a light filtering or decorative fabric, and use blackout where someone sleeps. There are thousands of fabrics, and the samples come to you. The operating system is the other choice: Standard Chain Loop, Cordless Lift, PowerWand or Motorized, with a cassette or fascia to hide the roll at the top.
A Roller Shade leaves a narrow light gap down each side so the fabric can roll, and a bedroom that has to be fully dark needs blackout fabric with side and bottom channels, which we point out at the window before you order. There is no charge for the visit, every window gets its own line on a quote held 180 days, and interior shades arrive and go up 4 to 6 weeks after the order. Our own full time Install Techs hang every shade, clear out the packaging and run each one with you.

Straight Answers
Roller Shades questions from Gardner homeowners
Yes. A screen fabric is woven with a set openness, so you see out through it while it takes the glare and some of the heat off the room. A 10% screen gives the clearest view across a backyard, and a 3% screen trades a little of that view for more daytime privacy.
No. Once the lamps are on inside, people can see in through any screen, and the side windows in a new subdivision face the house next door at close range. For bedrooms and those side rooms, choose a light filtering or blackout fabric, or put a screen and a blackout shade on one headrail and use whichever the hour calls for.
Yes, and a slider is a natural place for one. Magnetic hold downs keep the bottom rail against the door, and on a wide slider a motor makes it one button. We check where the handle sits before ordering so the rolled shade stays above it.
Yes, with a motor. A rechargeable motor needs no wiring, so it goes into a finished house, and the shade runs from a remote, the app or a schedule. On a new build with the walls still open, hardwired motors are an option too.
No. Expect 4 to 6 weeks between the order and the install, and one day of work covers most Gardner houses. Free paper temporary shades go up on every window you order for in the meantime, so a new house isn't sitting with bare glass.
Yes, a little. Cordless Lift and PowerWand cost more than a Standard Chain Loop, and the window size, fabric and top treatment also move the number. Each window has its own line, so you can choose cordless in the kids' rooms and a chain on the high window in the stairwell.
