Custom Window Treatment are commonly thought of as blinds that are made of a solid fabric. The fabric can be flat, hobbled or several different styles but all are solid and typically go up and down. The three main types of window shades
on the market are: Roman Shades, Roller Shades, and Cellular (Honeycomb) Shades.
Roman
Window Shades are made of a solid fabric that is flat or hobbled. They typically go up and down. There are several hundred types of fabrics to choose from. Most blind manufactures provide custom made window shades with tons
of selections. However, it is still very popular and relatively easy to make these blinds at your home with your chosen fabric. Shades Shutters Blinds uses Prestige Window Fashions, Hunter Douglas and Comfortex for our roman shades. We
can sell fabric by the yard but it is rare. We cannot make the roman blind from your fabric.
Roller
Window Shades do not stack on top of the headrail like a roman shade but instead roll up on a roller system. The fabric for roller shades typically has to be thinner in order to roll up smoothly. You can have the standard roll
up shade with the brackets exposed or the optional cassette valance that allows you to hide all the window shade hardware. Motorization is also available with the motor roller shades. Battery operated is the most popular option.
Cellular
(honeycomb) Window Shades is the last category of window shades. They are made of cellular construction that looks like a bees hive. They are made in light filtering and blackout fabrics. There are hundreds of colors, pleat sizes
and operating systems to make this window treatment fit any application.
The two main advantages of the honeycomb shade are the extreme energy efficacy and the very small stack it provides when pulling the shade up and down which allows the user greater view out of the window opening.
Roman window shades, roller window shades and cellular window shades are the three most popular blinds in this category in today's market. All can be found at Shades Shutters Blinds at affordable pricing.
