What is the difference between Screen and Blackout roller shades?

Screen fabric is a micro-perforated mesh: it filters sunlight and UV rays but lets natural light in and keeps the view outside. Blackout fabric blocks outside light completely, which is why it is used in bedrooms, screening rooms and hotel rooms.

Which openness percentage should I choose for a Screen shade?

Openness indicates how much light the fabric lets through. 1% gives the most sun control; 3% balances light and privacy; 5% lets in the most light. The choice depends on the window's orientation and how the space is used.

What are Neolux (zebra) shades?

They are roller shades with horizontal bands that alternate solid fabric and sheer weave; they are also known as zebra or day-and-night shades. As they move, the bands overlap and light is adjusted in levels, without rolling the shade all the way up.

What is the maximum size of a roller shade?

Chain-operated roller shades are made up to 3.00 m (9.8 ft) wide and motorized ones up to 5.00 m (16.4 ft). Height is set to suit the space.

Should I choose a manual or motorized roller shade?

The chain system is simple to operate and covers up to 3.00 m (9.8 ft) wide. The motorized system allows shades up to 5.00 m (16.4 ft) and automated control, useful for large windows, offices and corporate projects.

Do you offer outdoor or patio roller shades?

Does Modulare Cortinas handle installation?

Types of roller shades

Three fabrics, three ways to manage light.

Every roller shade starts the same way: a tube that rolls up the fabric and a system that operates it. What changes the result is the fabric. Before we make anything, we work out how much light should come in, how much privacy the space needs and how exposed it is to the sun.
