Add roman shades to make your room complete!
We have a solution for every window!
Roman shades are an increasingly popular window treatment option. It is a very simple and not-so-expensive solution, which can satisfy the pickiest home owner.
Actually, a roman shade is a piece of fabric that is attached to the top of a window and extends down to the bottom. Most Roman shades are designed to lie flat on windows, without leaving gaps, and they provide a degree of privacy.
There are three types of control: motorized, loop, and cord-and-cleat.
Motorized controls are more convenient, and can be remote-controlled. However, they require a lot of installation, which may be feasible during a major renovation only. No wonder, this option appears to be as expensive as it is technically advanced and convenient.
Continuous loop is a simple and most popular choice. The mechanism is driven via a beaded chain. All one needs to do is pull it to close/open the shade.
The cord-and-cleat type is a little complex, as it combines a number of cords that form a single cord. What’s bad about it is the possibility of one of these cords getting jammed or tangled and disrupting the entire process. As a result, the shade may slant or stop going smoothly.
You can place a roman shade either inside the window frame or outside it. This should depend on the type and size of your frame: it may be too small for your shade. In this case, you can fix it on the wall right above the window. This works well for flat shades, as they cover the entire window aperture and will not leave gaps. Also, this sounds like the right alternative for those who have modern and not so attractive frames. However, if you have stylish frames with decorative elements, you may want to fix one inside the window frame.
There are tons of fabric types, which may be suitable for different rooms. It is not pattern or translucency that counts more for roman plates. Weight is a more crucial characteristic. Light- and medium-heavy materials are more preferable, because mechanisms may not handle heavy-weight fabric.

We strongly feel that the shop at home service allows us to narrow down your window covering product solution options so you are not overwhelmed with the variety. Not all blinds, shades, shutters are feasible for every window. This eliminates getting quotes on products which you may conclude to not even be options before the check measurement appointment.

Roman shades are a type of window covering used to block out the sun. Roman shades are different from standard window shades in that they stack up evenly when being opened; however, when they are open, they are visibly smooth, not bumpy or ribbed like typical vertical shades or blinds.
