Roller Shades & Solar Shades
- Blackout
- Blackout fabrics and liners, blocks up to 99% of outside light. Blackout is the best choice for bedrooms, children's rooms, and media rooms. Also called "blockout."
- Bottom Rail
- A heavy horizontal piece of hardware that anchors your window covering on the bottom. Bottom rails are usually color-coordinated to match the rest of the window covering. The bottom rail weighs the window covering down and keeps it hanging straight.
- Continuous Cord Loop
- A window treatment mechanism that uses a pulley system to rotate a clutch that raises or lowers a shade. The looped cord stays at the same length regardless of the position of the shade.
- Inside Mount
- A type of installation that refers to hanging a window treatment inside the window frame, so that it is recessed with the window.
- Outside Mount
- A type of installation that refers to hanging a window treatment on the wall surrounding the window, so that the window treatment overlaps slightly with the wall.
- Projection
- Projection refers to the distance between the wall to the front of the bracket you are using for mounting your window blind or window shade. This distance is particularly important to understand for outside mounting to determine if your window blind or window shade will clear the window frame for smooth operation.
- Reverse Roll
- Roller shade option where the fabric rolls off the front of the shade, preventing the backside of the fabric from being seen and creating a more streamlined look.
