What they are

Simple, clean and versatile

A roller shade is a single panel of fabric that rolls up around a tube at the top of the window. When it’s up, it nearly disappears; when it’s down, it gives a smooth, uncluttered surface. That simplicity is why roller shades work in modern, transitional and traditional rooms alike.

The fabric decides what the shade does. Solar screen fabrics have an open weave that cuts glare and UV while keeping your view outside, which is ideal for family rooms and home offices. Light filtering fabrics soften daylight and add privacy, and blackout fabrics are made to darken bedrooms and media rooms.

We carry roller shades from Hunter Douglas and from Norman, including Norman Soluna™ roller shades with PrecisionLift™ cordless lifting. We bring swatches of each fabric type so you can hold them up to your windows and see how much light and view each one keeps.

Operating options & care

Cordless, motorized and low maintenance

Roller shades can be ordered with a continuous loop chain, with a cordless spring lift you guide by hand, or motorized. Norman’s PrecisionLift™ cordless system and Hunter Douglas PowerView® motorization are both popular choices, and motorization is especially handy for large or hard-to-reach windows. We install and set up any motorized shades.

Roller shades are easy to care for: dust them with a soft brush or vacuum on low, and spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Check the care label for your fabric before using any cleaner.

  • Cordless, chain or motorized
  • PrecisionLift™ and PowerView® options

Roller shade questions

Common questions from Metro Detroit homeowners about roller and solar shades.

What is the difference between a roller shade and a solar shade?
A solar shade is a roller shade made with a screen-like fabric. It cuts glare and UV while keeping your view outside. Regular roller shades use light filtering or blackout fabrics for more privacy and darkness.
Do solar shades give privacy at night?
Generally no. With lights on inside at night, people can often see in through solar fabric. For night-time privacy, consider light filtering or blackout fabrics, or pair solar shades with another treatment.
Can roller shades be motorized?
Yes. Motorized roller shades can run from a remote, an app or a schedule, including Hunter Douglas PowerView®. We install and program them.
Are roller shades child safe?
Cordless options such as Norman PrecisionLift™ remove the loop cord entirely, and Norman offers products certified Best for Kids™. We’ll point out the cord-free choices for kids’ rooms.
How do I clean roller shades?
Dust them with a soft brush or a vacuum on low, and spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Follow the care label for your fabric.
