Roller Shades are a superior choice to add a touch of fashion and style to any living area. For a utilitarian modern look, choose a solar sun screen fabric; for a more traditional look choose one of our various decorative or cloth fabrics. Since Roller Shades open by winding around a tube, these types of shades are only available in a flat style. Roller shade lift hardware systems include spring tension, chain operator, crank mechanism, and motorized. Motorized solar sun screen shades with programmable controls are perfect for clerestory windows, large openings and exterior applications; integrated packages of motorized shades and lighting controls offer a one touch solution to light control. Iris Window Coverings is recognized as a leader in the motorization and automation of Solar Sunscreen Shades.
It is possible to incorporate a valance or a fabric window topper along with the roller shades to soften the lines or to add color and decoration. To add other design details include side hang draperies or traversing draperies installed over the roller shades.
Solar shades utilizing sunscreen fabrics offer light-filtering qualities that diffuse light, reduce glare and control solar heat gain yet maintain excellent outward visibility. Sunscreen shades reduce the fading of textiles and interior furnishings by significantly blocking harmful UV rays.
While there are numerous ways to provide blackout window treatments, roller shades employing blackout fabric are among the most popular since a blackout shade can provide a very dark room with minimal light leakage around the edges. Adding pocket, side channel and sill channel to a motorized blackout fabric roller shade will endow a room with better blackout capabilities.
Roller shades may be fabricated utilizing one of many different types and styles of decorative fabrics, including specially designed fabrics and standard cloth (for drapery and upholstery) fabrics. Iris Window Coverings showroom displays a wide variety of roller shade and standard fabrics.
