Roller Shades In Platte City
Roller & Solar Shades in Platte City, MO
Roller Shades in a solar screen fabric cut the glare in a Platte City great room and keep the view out the window. The newer two stories in Seven Bridges and Copper Ridge have a lot of glass facing the yard, and our Solar Shield Blinds Roller Shades take the glare off it, then roll up out of sight when you want the whole window back.
Where It Fits In Platte City
Where Roller Shades and solar shades fit in Platte City
A Roller Shade is the simplest shade we make, which is why it works in a ranch near Main and a new two story south of town alike. The choices that matter are the fabric and the way it operates.
- Great rooms in Seven BridgesTall glass facing a lake or the hillside behind the house. A 10% screen keeps the view clear, and a motor brings the top row down without a ladder.
- Walkout slidersThe slider under the deck on a reverse 1.5 story is used all day. Magnetic hold downs keep the shade flat on the door, and it rolls up clear of the handle.
- Front rooms near downtownA ranch on the older streets around Main has its main window facing the neighbors. A 3% screen gives the room daytime privacy and still lets the light in.
- Bedrooms that need to be darkBlackout fabric with side and bottom channels for the bedroom of anyone who sleeps late or works nights, with Cordless Lift or PowerWand in the kids' rooms.
Worth Knowing
Choosing a screen fabric for Platte City windows
Start with how much of the outside you want to keep. A 10% solar screen leaves a clear view of the yard or the water and takes the edge off the glare, which suits a great room in Seven Bridges or Lakes at Oakmont. A 3% screen shows less of the outside and gives more daytime privacy, which suits a front room on a downtown street. Light filtering and decorative fabrics give privacy day and night, and blackout fabric is for bedrooms. We have thousands of fabrics, and your Design Specialist brings the samples to the house.
Operating systems are Standard Chain Loop, Cordless Lift, PowerWand and Motorized, and a cassette or fascia can hide the roll at the top of the window. On the tall glass in a newer two story, a motor is worth pricing, because the top of the shade is out of reach. In the mid-century ranches near the courthouse, the frames have had decades to move, so each opening is measured top and bottom and the shade is built to the real size.
A Roller Shade leaves a small light gap down each side, so a bedroom that has to be fully dark needs blackout fabric with side and bottom channels, and we plan for that at the visit. The consultation is free, the quote is itemized and held for 180 days, and interior shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install. Our own full time Install Techs clean up after themselves and walk every room with you. We also work in the Northland and Liberty.

Straight Answers
Roller Shades questions from Platte City homeowners
Yes. A 10% screen is the most open fabric we carry for that, and from inside you see the yard or the lake through it with the glare cut down. A 3% or 5% screen trades a little of the view for more privacy, and we hold both up at your window so you can compare.
Yes. A slider is one of the best spots for a Roller Shade, because it rolls up clear of the door. Magnetic hold downs keep the bottom flat against the glass, and a wide door is a good place for a motor.
Yes, because it is built to your measurements and not a stock size. Your Design Specialist measures the opening at more than one point, and the shade is made to hang straight in it. Where the frame is far out of square, mounting outside the trim hides the difference.
Yes, a little more, since Cordless Lift and PowerWand are priced above a Standard Chain Loop. Your itemized quote shows the difference window by window, so you can choose cordless in the kids' rooms and a chain on a window nobody reaches.
No. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and most Platte City homes are done in one install day. Until then, free paper temporary shades cover each window on the order.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee gives the shade a lifetime product warranty that transfers if you sell, free service on defects for five years, and one Life Happens repair if there is an accident in that time.
