A single piece of fabric that rolls up clean and disappears — the modern alternative to blinds and shutters. Serving The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Kingwood, Tomball, Cypress, Magnolia, and Montgomery since 2004.
A roller shade is a single fabric panel that winds around a tube at the top of the window. No slats, no louvers, no hinged frame — just fabric that rolls up and out of the way when you want the view, and rolls down when you want light control or privacy.
The whole decision comes down to two things: how much light you want the fabric to let through, and how you want to operate it. We bring full fabric decks to your home so you can see the actual opacity in your own light before you decide.
All solar shades are roller shades, but not every roller shade is a solar shade. Standard roller shades use decorative fabric for light filtering, privacy, or blackout. Solar shades use an open-weave mesh specifically built to block UV and heat while keeping your outdoor view visible.
Yes, with a blackout fabric. Inside-mounted shades have a small light gap along the edges where the brackets sit, so for maximum blackout we usually recommend an outside mount, where the fabric fully overlaps the window trim.
During the day, yes. At night, with interior lights on, light-filtering fabric can show silhouettes from outside. If nighttime privacy matters, choose a darker opacity, a blackout fabric, or a dual roller system.
Two separate shades mounted on one window — typically a light-filtering or solar fabric for daytime, and a blackout fabric for night. You switch between them depending on the time of day.
An internal spring inside the roller tube holds tension. Pull the bottom bar down to the height you want and release — no cords or chains to manage, and it's the standard recommendation for homes with young children or pets.
Yes — battery, hardwired, or solar powered, controlled by remote, an app, or a smart home schedule. Particularly useful on hard-to-reach windows or wide banks where a chain is inconvenient.
Dust with a feather duster or a vacuum's soft brush attachment. For light smudges, a damp microfiber cloth with mild soap works fine. Avoid soaking the fabric or using harsh chemicals.
Solar and light-filtering fabrics block a meaningful share of UV, which helps protect flooring, rugs, and furniture from sun damage over time.
A finished cover, in metal or fabric-wrapped material, that hides the roller tube and brackets when the shade is raised — a cleaner look than an open roll.
The brackets and control mechanism need a small amount of space inside the window frame, so the fabric is slightly narrower than the full opening. It's normal and only noticeable up close.
You choose. Domestic production runs about three weeks at a higher price. Imported production runs about eight weeks and costs less. Installation itself usually takes an hour or two.
Yes — the fabric is lightweight compared to wood or faux wood treatments, which makes it a practical choice for wide window banks and sliding glass doors without sagging or straining the hardware.
Yes, and we recommend one of the two for exactly that reason. Both eliminate hanging cords and chain loops entirely.
