Roller Shades In Shawnee
Roller & Solar Shades in Shawnee, KS
Roller Shades in a solar screen fabric are the plainest answer to a bright window in Shawnee. A new house west of K-7 can have glass on two levels facing the sunset, and our Solar Shield Blinds Roller Shades take the glare off it and roll out of the way once the sun drops.
Where It Fits In Shawnee
Where Roller Shades and solar shades fit in Shawnee
Roller Shades go into every era of Shawnee house, and the fabric is what changes from one neighborhood to the next.
- Walkout lower levels in Canyon LakesA walkout or daylight lot puts windows and a slider at the bottom of the house, facing the same view as the deck above. A 10% screen keeps that view from the couch and takes the shine off the TV.
- Lakepointe homes facing the waterA house that backs to one of the Lakepointe ponds gets light from the sky and again off the water. A 3% screen on the back windows tones that down without hiding the fountain.
- Townhome sliders in Tanglewood EstatesThe patio slider is the biggest window in many of these townhomes. Magnetic hold downs keep the shade flat to the glass, and the roll clears the handle when it's up.
- Bedrooms on the east sideA ranch bedroom near Nieman Road gets the morning sun through the trees. Blackout fabric with side channels keeps the room dark enough to sleep past six.
Worth Knowing
Picking a screen fabric for the view you have in Shawnee
A solar screen is a woven fabric with small openings, and its percentage tells you how open the weave is. The 10% screen keeps the clearest view out, which suits the back of a house in Clear Creek or Canyon Lakes where the view is the reason you bought the lot. The 3% screen blocks more of the glare and gives more daytime privacy, and we lean toward it for a front room on an older Shawnee street where neighbors walk past the glass.
Light filtering and decorative fabrics give privacy day and night, and blackout fabric belongs in the bedrooms. There are thousands of fabrics to choose from, and your Design Specialist brings the samples so you can hold them in the window at the hour the glare is worst. Operating systems are Standard Chain Loop, Cordless Lift, PowerWand and Motorized, and a cassette or fascia covers the roll at the top for a cleaner line under the trim.
Every Roller Shade leaves a narrow strip of light along each side, so a bedroom that has to go fully dark gets blackout fabric with side and bottom channels, and we'll say so at the consultation. The visit costs nothing, the quote is itemized and good for 180 days, and Roller Shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install. Our full time Install Techs hang every shade and haul the old blinds away, and we also serve nearby Lenexa and Mission.

Straight Answers
Roller Shades questions from Shawnee homeowners
Yes, and that's the reason to pick a screen fabric. A 10% screen takes the glare down and still shows you the yard, the trees and the sunset, from the main floor and the lower level alike. Your Design Specialist brings both openness levels so you can compare them at your own glass.
Yes. A slider is a good place for a Roller Shade, and magnetic hold downs keep the bottom flat against the door so it doesn't swing when the door is in use. On a wide slider, a motor or a PowerWand saves pulling a long chain.
Yes. We never order from a standard size, so the shade is built to the opening your Design Specialist measures at the top, middle and bottom. If a frame has moved too far for an inside mount, an outside mount covers the trim and hides the gap.
With side and bottom channels, yes. Blackout fabric on its own still lets a thin line of light in at the edges, and the channels close that gap. We'll point out which bedrooms need them on the visit.
No. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and free paper temporary shades go up on the windows in your order while the real ones are built.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee gives Roller Shades a lifetime product warranty that transfers if you sell, five years of free service on defects, and one Life Happens repair for an accident within those five years.
