Roller Shades In Mission
Roller & Solar Shades in Mission, KS
Roller Shades in a solar screen fabric are the plainest way to take the glare off a picture window in a Mission ranch. A 1950s house off Lamar or Nall faces the street with one big pane of glass, and our Solar Shield Blinds Roller Shades soften the light, keep the view and roll up out of sight when you want the window back.
Where It Fits In Mission
Where Roller Shades and solar shades fit in Mission
Mission houses sit on wide lots with a lot of glass at the front and the back, so the decisions are which fabric goes on each side and how the shade is lifted.
- Picture windows on ranch streetsThe front window of a Mission ranch is the biggest glass in the house. A 3% screen keeps the room bright and gives daytime privacy from the sidewalk.
- Patio doors on deep lotsA slider at the back opens onto a long yard. Magnetic hold downs keep the fabric against the door, and the shade rolls up above the handle.
- Lower level family roomsThe half below grade family room in a split level has short windows at eye level with the lawn. Blackout fabric with side channels turns it into a movie room.
- Close lots in WestwoodWestwood houses sit near each other, so a side window looks right at the neighbor's. A light filtering fabric keeps the room private day and night.
Worth Knowing
Picking the screen and measuring a 1950s frame
The median Mission house dates to the early 1950s, and seventy years is plenty of time for a window frame to shift. A Roller Shade hangs straight whether the frame is square or not, so a gap shows if the shade was ordered from a standard size. Your Design Specialist measures every opening on site at more than one point and builds the shade to the window you have. On a wide picture window that is also the moment to talk about a motor, because a big shade is the hardest one to lift by hand.
The fabric decision comes down to how much of the street you want to see. A 10% solar screen keeps a clear view and takes the edge off the glare, and a 3% screen gives more daytime privacy. Light filtering and decorative fabrics give privacy after dark as well, and blackout fabric belongs in bedrooms and the lower level TV room. We carry thousands of fabrics and bring the samples with us. You can lift it with a Standard Chain Loop, Cordless Lift, PowerWand or a motor, and a cassette or fascia hides the roll at the top.
A Roller Shade leaves a thin light gap down each side, so a room that has to go fully dark needs blackout fabric with side and bottom channels, and we point that out before you order. The visit costs nothing, your quote is itemized, and the price holds for 180 days. Interior shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and our Install Techs clean up and run every shade with you. Our team also works in nearby Prairie Village and Shawnee.

Straight Answers
Roller Shades questions from Mission homeowners
Yes. A 10% screen keeps a clear view of the yard and the street while cutting the glare, and a 3% screen trades a little view for more privacy. We hold both up at your window at the brightest hour so you can pick by eye.
Yes. A slider is one of the best places for a Roller Shade, and magnetic hold downs keep it flat against the glass when the door is in use. A wide slider onto a deep Mission yard is also a good place for a motor.
Yes, because every shade is built to the measurements we take in your house. Your Design Specialist checks each opening at the top and the bottom, and a frame that has moved too far gets an outside mount so the shade still covers the glass.
Yes, once the shade has blackout fabric plus side and bottom channels. The short windows on the lower level of a split level are a good fit for this setup, because the channels close the light gaps a plain Roller Shade leaves at the edges.
No. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and most Mission houses are done in one day. While you wait, every window on the order gets a free paper temporary shade.
Yes. Under our Carefree Guarantee a Roller Shade has a lifetime product warranty that goes with the house, five years of free service on defects, and a Life Happens repair for one accident.
