Reversed Roller Shades

By flipping the roller shade and mounting it in a way that allows the shade material to flow over the top of the roll, the roll itself is concealed from view. This installation method, if deep enough and unobstructed, is suitable for inside-the-frame or IB mounts.

Roller shades offer a wide range of solutions for sun and shading challenges. Moreover, they can add a touch of striking beauty and provide elegant design solutions that cannot be achieved otherwise.

In certain situations, it is possible to include an optional hidden zipper, which allows for easy removal of the shade material without needing to dismantle the entire system.

Ceiling Pockets for Roller Shades

When considered during the early stages of the construction planning process, numerous intriguing and cost-effective shading solutions become available for design projects. For instance, incorporating a ceiling soffit that provides pockets along the room's edge for mounting roller shades can create a minimalist, clean, and contemporary appearance, with the roll hardware flush with the ceiling.

Furthermore, if motorized shades are desired, it is advisable to run the wiring before closing and painting the walls. This ensures seamless integration and facilitates the installation of the motorized system.

Extra Wide Single Roller Shades

Modern interior design projects often feature single-pane, extra-wide windows. Thanks to current technology, it is now possible to achieve a seamless look with a single roller shade that complements this design approach. A reversed roll inside mount shade is typically well-suited for this purpose, although regular roll shades can also be used. There is a wide range of lightweight solar shading materials available to choose from.

With metal rollers, shades can be customized to widths of up to 14 feet. For larger installations, spring-assist hand operation is offered, ensuring smooth and convenient operation.

Here are some key aspects of Reversed Roller Shades:

Light Gap Reduction: By rolling the fabric off the front of the roller, reversed roller shades can help minimize or eliminate the light gap between the fabric and the window frame when the shade is fully lowered. This reduction in light gap enhances light control and privacy, making reversed roller shades ideal for rooms where light blocking is a priority.

Mounting Options: Reversed roller shades can be mounted either inside the window frame or on the wall above the window, similar to standard roller shades. The choice of mounting depends on factors such as the depth of the window frame, desired aesthetics, and the amount of light control required.

Design and Fabric Options: Reversed roller shades come in a variety of design options, including different fabric colors, patterns, and opacities. They can be customized to match various interior styles and preferences, allowing you to select a fabric that complements your decor.

Operation and Installation: Reversed roller shades operate in a similar manner to standard roller shades. They can be manually operated using a cord or chain mechanism to raise or lower the shade. Installation of reversed roller shades follows the same procedures as traditional roller shades, typically involving mounting brackets and straightforward installation.
