Roller Shade Styles 2.0
With roller shades becoming increasingly popular in hospitality design, we have encountered more creativity on our customers' part. We have started to see new and different ways to style hotel windows with shades, so we thought we’d share what we’ve learned so far. Check out our first version of this card with more basic styles here, and see our continued list below:
Dual Shade Inside Mounted
When two shades are mounted inside the window opening using one bracket. Requires 5.75” window opening depth.
Dual Shade Outside Mounted
When two shades are installed together on the same bracket, but outside the opening of the wall.
Two Shades: One Outside, One Inside Mounted
When one single roller shade is mounted on the wall or ceiling above the window, extending outside the window opening and another single shade is installed inside the window frame. Typically specified when frame is too small for a dual shade bracket.
Outside Mounted With Channels
When a roller shade is mounted on the wall or ceiling above the window, extending outside the window opening. Channels are on the side and sill preventing light coming through behind the shade and window.
Inside Mounted With Channels
When a roller shade is mounted inside the window opening and channels are installed on the side and sill of window preventing light from coming between the shade and window frame.
Coupled Shades Outside Mounted
When two roller shades are controlled by a single clutch or motor engaging both shades simultaneously. This requires three independent brackets, including an intermediate one for support.
