Testimonials

“Just wanted to say thank you for not only having a great product, but great people. After replacing my Bay Window I needed replace the Verosol shades l I had ordered from you 7 years ago. The whole process was great: from getting the order placed via the phone to the quick delivery date. They were packed like they were being shipped to their best friend (just like it was back in 2009)! So nice to deal with a company that takes pride in their work!!! No need to go back to the hot blazing sun.”

High Performance Verosol Description

High Performance Verosol Roller Shades are an innovative breakthrough in thermal control insulated shades.

An enhanced thermal solar shade fabric that has a highly reflective, ultra- fine layer of aluminum vacuum bonded to the exterior facing side of vinyl coated woven fiberglass. The aluminum layer reflects out solar heat for cooler temperatures during the summer and re-radiates the room’s heat for warmer temperatures during the winter. High Performance Verosol Shades also reduce heat loss in the winter because of drafty windows. They provide privacy in the daytime only.

Why Do we Call These HIGH PERFORMANCE Verosol Shades?

Provides 62% reduction in energy consumption.
Reduces heat loss through windows by up to 20% (Winter).
Solar rejection properties are not color dependent.
Reduces UV by 96%, protecting furnishings from fading.
Openness factor of 4% provides clear view through, especially in dark colors
Increased control of visual glare.
Requires at least 1˝ between finished shade and glass.

High Performance Verosol is an environmentally friendly Green Product.

Hiding The Roller

For a uniform appearance, choose the reverse roll option. The fabric rolls off the front of the roller tube, closer to the room, hiding the roller. No extra charge. Only available with no headrail.

Designer Cassette Fabric Insert

The cassette has a matching strip of roller shade fabric running along the front face of it to provide a continuous, all-fabric look for your window. Available in White, Satin Nickel, Ivory, Bronze and Black.

Designer Cassette Smooth Face

This is a clean and seamless way to hide a roller. Available in 5 hardware finishes: White, Satin Nickel, Ivory, Bronze, and Black.

Fascias

Metallic fascias placed in front of roller shades conceal the roller hardware and protect the fabric when the shade is fully raised. They are open to the top and back. Available in white, satin nickel, ivory, bronze, or black.

Measuring Instructions

(Photo 1) Decide whether you want the shade mounted inside the frame of the opening or outside the opening. An inside mount can look cleaner, but you may want to order outside mount if there are obstructions, if you want more complete coverage, or if you want to cover more than one opening with a shade.
(Photo 2) Always use a steel measuring tape.
(Photo 3) Measure to the nearest 1/8”. Round DOWN, not UP, if it is 1/16th over.
Tell us raw measurements. Do not take your own deductions.
Always give width before height
IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT to take note if any of the adjoining shades meet at a 90% angle, as one or both shades may need to be cut narrower to make sure the brackets don’t conflict with one another. We recommend that you order only one of the corner shades, and order the second one after you have installed the first one to make sure the brackets don’t impede each other.
And always, feel free to call us for help and email us photos of where you are installing.

Inside Frame Mount

Measure width at top, middle, and bottom (A) Tell us the raw measurements. Let us take the deduction for fit. We will tell you fabric width.
Measure the height (B) If not ordering the shade to drop all the way down, let us know

Outside Frame Mount

Measure width of the outside of the post to the outside of the post at the top, middle, and bottom (A)
Measure width of the inside of the opening (B) to check for fabric overlap. We will tell you fabric width.
Measure the height (C) If not ordering the shade to drop all the way down, let us know.

To Fit Brackets on Trim/Posts

To Order by Fabric Width

Decide where you want the fabric to overlap on each side. Mark on the post/trim and measure this width (A). We will tell you how much room the shade needs to fit.
Measure the height (B) If not ordering the shade to drop all the way down, let us know.

Measure the width of the full span of space you have to fit the shades in at the top, middle, and bottom.
Measure the end to center post and center to center post widths at the top, middle, and bottom. Tell us the raw measurements. Let us take the deduction for fit.
Measure the width of the inside of the opening to check for fabric overlap. We will tell you fabric width.
Measure the height If not ordering the shade to drop all the way down, let us know.
