Window Treatments
Roller Shade
Roller shades are window coverings that wrap around a cylindrical tube when raised, providing the cleanest possible profile and maximum simplicity. This minimalist treatment has evolved from basic functional covering to a sophisticated option available in countless fabrics, textures, and light-filtering levels.
The streamlined operation of roller shades makes them ideal for modern interiors and practical applications. They stack completely out of view when raised, maximizing views and light. Available in blackout, light-filtering, and solar options, rollers provide excellent light control with minimal visual presence.

Placement & Usage Tips
Inside mount creates cleaner lines but leaves light gaps at edges. Outside mount blocks more light and makes windows appear larger. Consider motorization for hard-to-reach windows.
💡 Pro Tip
Spring-operated rollers without visible cords create the cleanest look and are safer for homes with children. For large windows, specify a larger diameter tube to prevent fabric from touching as it wraps.
