Roller Shades In Lenexa
Roller Shades & Solar Shades in Lenexa, KS
Our Roller Shades and solar shades help Lenexa homes and offices protect the inside of the room from harsh sunlight, heat and glare. Pick a screen fabric to keep your view, a light filtering fabric for privacy, or blackout for a bedroom, and the shade rolls out of sight when you raise it.
Where It Fits In Lenexa
Where Roller Shades fit in Lenexa
From the ranch and split level homes in Whispering Hills to the tall glass at City Center, a Roller Shade suits both ends of Lenexa.
- Offices near Renner BoulevardA screen fabric on a conference room wall keeps the view out and takes the glare off the screen. Motorize the row and one button runs them all.
- Picture windows in older homesA front room picture window in a 1970s or 1980s home can heat up all afternoon. A 3% solar screen mounted inside the frame cuts the heat and keeps your view of the street.
- City Center loftsTall, narrow, modern windows want a clean line at the top. A square or curved cassette hides the roll and finishes the window.
- Patio sliders in Canyon CreekWide patio doors in the newer homes out past K-7 take a Roller Shade well. Magnetic hold downs keep the bottom rail still when the door moves.
Worth Knowing
Openness, operating systems, and the light at the edges
Roller Shades are about as simple as a window covering gets, and that's a big part of why so many Lenexa clients choose them. There's nothing to dust and no strings to tangle. Lower the shade and you have one clean fabric that gives you privacy, light control and a pop of color and texture. Raise it and the whole shade rolls up into a three inch roll at the top of the opening.
Openness is the first choice, and it describes how much of the weave is open. A 10% screen keeps the view out very crisp, which is what most offices want. A 3% screen gives good daytime privacy for a front room on a close street. For a Lenexa bedroom or a street facing room, light filtering and decorative fabrics are private around the clock, while blackout has no openness at all. Next comes the operating system: Standard Chain Loop, Cordless Lift, PowerWand, or Motorized, and a very wide shade or a whole bank of office windows is where a motor makes the most sense.
Light gaps down the sides are part of how a Roller Shade works, so a Lenexa bedroom that needs to be truly dark gets blackout fabric with side and bottom channels. A privacy light block is another way to close the gap on a light filtering shade.

Straight Answers
Roller Shades questions from Lenexa homeowners
Yes. A solar shade is a Roller Shade with a screen fabric, and in an office it takes the glare off monitors and conference room screens while the room keeps its view. A wall switch or a schedule can run a whole bank of motorized shades, so nobody has to adjust them by hand.
No. Screen fabric shows shapes and movement from outside once the lights are on inside, whether you live in a City Center loft or a ranch on a quiet street. For bedrooms and street facing rooms, use a light filtering or blackout fabric, or pair a screen with a second shade on the same headrail.
Yes, and it's our usual alternative to vertical blinds on a sliding glass door. Magnetic hold downs keep the shade in place when the door moves, and a motor makes a wide slider one button to operate. We check the handle clearance on the visit before we recommend anything.
Yes. Cordless Lift, PowerWand and Motorized Roller Shades are all child safe, with no chain hanging beside the window. On a high window where a chain makes sense, it gets a child safe hold down anchored to the wall or casing.
They help a great deal. A solar screen turns away a good share of the sun's heat before it becomes heat in your room, and the tighter the weave, the more it stops. For a west facing wall of glass, an exterior shade mounted outside the window will outperform anything hung on the inside, and we install those too.
Yes. Window size, fabric, operating system, motorization, and any cassette, fascia or cornice at the top all factor into the price. Your Design Specialist gives you an exact itemized quote at the consultation, window by window, so you can see what each choice costs before you decide.
