Roller Shades In Lansing

Roller & Solar Shades in Lansing, KS

Roller Shades with a solar screen fabric take the glare off a Lansing great room and leave the view where it is. A house in Fairway Estates looks out over the Leavenworth Country Club course, and our Solar Shield Blinds Roller Shades let you watch the fairway through the fabric while the TV stays readable.

Where It Fits In Lansing

Where Roller Shades and solar shades fit in Lansing

Lansing has views worth keeping and afternoons worth blocking, so the real choice is the openness of the fabric and how you raise it, and our Design Specialist walks you through both.

  • Golf course windows in Fairway EstatesBack windows that face the course take full afternoon sun. A 10% screen keeps the fairway clear through the fabric and cuts the glare on the screen in the family room.
  • Great rooms in Rock CreekThe two stories in Rock Creek Estates and Rock Creek Ridge stack glass above the main windows. A motorized shade on the upper row comes down on a schedule with nobody on a ladder.
  • Front rooms off Main StreetAn older ranch puts the living room window near the street. A 3% screen gives daytime privacy and still lets the room stay bright.
  • Patio doors to the deckThe slider to the deck sees the most use in the house. Magnetic hold downs keep the shade flat on the glass, and it rolls up clear of the handle.

Worth Knowing

Choosing a screen fabric for a Lansing view

The fabric decides almost everything about a Roller Shade, so start with what you want to see. A 10% solar screen keeps a wide view of the yard or the golf course and takes the edge off the sun. A 3% screen closes down the view a bit more and gives you daytime privacy from the street or the house behind you. Light filtering and decorative fabrics give privacy day and night, and blackout fabric belongs in a bedroom. We carry thousands of fabrics and bring the samples so you can hold them against your own glass at the brightest hour.

Operating systems are Standard Chain Loop, Cordless Lift, PowerWand and Motorized. In a Rock Creek great room, the transom row and the tall panes under it are a natural fit for a motor, while the bedrooms in an Oakbrook ranch do fine with Cordless Lift. A cassette or fascia hides the roll at the top. In the older Lansing houses with replacement windows, your Design Specialist checks the depth of each casing before deciding on an inside or outside mount.

A Roller Shade leaves a narrow strip of light down each edge, and in a bedroom that has to be dark for a day sleeper we add side and bottom channels to blackout fabric. We point that out before you order. The visit is free, the quote is itemized and good for 180 days, and interior shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install. Our full time Install Techs fit every shade, take the packaging, and leave the house clean. We also cover nearby Basehor and Kansas City KS.

Straight Answers

Roller Shades questions from Lansing homeowners

Yes. A 10% screen fabric lets you see the course clearly through it while it cuts the glare, and a darker fabric color gives the clearest view out. Your Design Specialist holds a few openness levels up to the back windows so you can pick by eye.

Yes. We build a shade for the transom and the windows below it, and on glass that high we recommend a motor so the top row runs from a remote or a schedule. Rechargeable motors need no wiring in an existing Lansing house.

Yes. Magnetic hold downs keep the fabric flat against the door so it doesn't swing when the door opens, and the shade rolls up above the handle. A wide slider is also a good spot for a motor.

Yes, Cordless Lift and PowerWand cost a little more than a Standard Chain Loop. Your quote lists every window with its operating system, so you can put cordless in the kids' rooms and keep a chain where nobody small can reach.

No. Our typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and most Lansing homes are done in one day. Free paper temporary shades go up on every window you ordered for while you wait.

Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee includes a lifetime product warranty that transfers if you sell, five years of free service on defects, and one Life Happens repair if an accident damages a shade in that time.
