Start with the room, not the fabric
Opacity is the first decision. It controls how much daylight enters, how private the room feels at night, and whether the exterior view remains part of the architecture.
Blackout
Best for bedrooms, media rooms, and west-facing openings that overheat in afternoon sun. Blocks nearly all visible light when lowered.
Semi-sheer
The everyday choice for living rooms and offices — softens glare while keeping a sense of daylight and soft silhouette privacy.
Sheer
Preserves views and sky. Ideal where you want solar filtration without darkening the room.
Next step: Pick a shade in the shop, then configure fabric, mount, and measurements with eighth-inch precision.
