Shades

Our motorized blackout roller shades are the ultimate sunlight-blocking coverings. They are the most efficient at preventing light from coming through, which makes them the ideal solution for media rooms, bedrooms, or any room where sunlight must be avoided. *Note that the fabrics are blackout, but the overall effect is not absolute blackout. Blinds and shades cannot fit perfectly tight to the sides of the window, which creates "light gaps". Slats would scrape the window frame during motion, causing damage.

Light filtering shades are better for areas where you don't need total darkness or privacy, such as your living room or kitchen.

Room Darkening: These shades darken the room and keep a private environment but unlike blackout shades, they do not attempt to block all light. Fabrics one percent fabrics will allow less light than those with three percent openness. Fabrics range from 1-3% openness factor and will allow 99-97% of the light.

Sheer Shade Room Darkening: On light filtering fabrics, the maximum distance from the front sheer to the back sheer when closed is equal to or less than 3⁄8” for shadings under 60” and 5⁄8” for shadings longer than 60”
