Custom Roller & Solar Shades
Custom roller and solar shades are inside-mount window coverings the studio specifies as the workhorse layer behind decorative drapery — solar weaves for daytime glare, dual-roller assemblies pairing solar and blackout, and motorized cassettes coordinated with the home's drapery program.
Why Choose This Style
Solar weaves rated 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10% openness allow precise control of glare, view preservation, and UV transmission on every elevation.
Dual-roller cassettes carry a solar weave and a full blackout on a single recessed pocket — the cleanest way to handle west-facing primary suites without compromising the drapery program above.
Motorization on Lutron Sivoia, Somfy Sonesse, and Crestron is the studio's default specification; battery is reserved for retrofits where wiring is impossible.
Where Roller Shades Drapery Belongs
- Every residential and commercial project the studio accepts
- All ceiling heights
- Every architectural style — the discipline is universal
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are roller shades a substitute for drapery?
- No — they work behind the drapery, never in place of it. The drapery resolves the architecture; the roller shade resolves the daytime glare and UV.
- What openness should I specify on a west elevation?
- 1% or 3% openness for the most aggressive glare control; 5% when view preservation is the priority. The studio assesses the elevation in the consultation.
- Can roller shades be hidden?
- Yes — recessed in a ceiling pocket sized for the cassette, the shade disappears entirely when raised and reads as architecture when lowered.
