Roller Shades
Timeless and refined, roller shades bring a clean, streamlined look to any space.
Designed for simplicity, they offer smooth operation and versatile fabrics for balanced light control, privacy and modern elegance.
Shade Top Treatment Options
Roller exposedFully enclosed
Open Roll Shades
Open roll shades have an exposed roller tube, making them a straightforward and cost-effective choice. Their minimal design fits well in modern home interiors, where exposed hardware enhances the overall aesthetic.
However, since the roller is still visible, this style doesn't achieve the polished look that many homeowners want for living rooms, bedrooms, or other prominent areas.
Decorative Fascias & Valances
Fascia systems and fabric-wrapped valances are appealing options for homeowners who want to hide the roller while keeping a decorative look.
A fascia is usually a decorative front cover made from wood, aluminum or vinyl that conceals the roller. In contrast, a fabric valance uses material that matches or coordinates with the shade fabric, resulting in a softer, more classic look. Both options look neater than an exposed roller and complement various interior design styles.
Full-Enclosure Cassettes
A cassette system encloses the roller and operating mechanism inside an aluminum housing.
Unlike partial covers that only protect the front, a full-enclosure cassette hides the hardware entirely, with the shade retracting into the cassette. When fully raised, only the enclosure remains visible.
