High Performance Verosol Shades
Energy-Saving, Heat-Reducing, Insulating Thermal Solar Shades
These innovative shades feature an unobtrusive but highly reflective aluminum layer on the outside with a decorative linen-weave design inside. The exterior reflects solar glare and heat for cooler temperatures in the summer while the insulating construction reduces drafts, air conditioning and heating bills.

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?

- 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.

Hiding The Roller
Reverse Roll
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.
Standard 3” and 4” fascia are L shaped and cover the front and most of the underside. Skyline 4” fascia do not cover the underside.
3″ Fascias
4″ Fascias
Skyline Hardware in white, black and ivory is standard on all roller shades. When ordering shades with Skyline hardware all of the components are completely color coordinated all the way down to the tensioner.
Fabric Valance*
*Friction Fit Mounting System Only
Use the 4 1/2″ tall fabric valance to conceal both the roller and the rail for the Friction Fit Mounting System. The valance matches the shade fabric for a cohesive look. Cannot be used with any other roller shade system.
Friction Fit Mounting System
No Bracket Drilling Required!
Inside mount only | Max Width: 84″ | Minimum Depth: 2 1/8″
Pressure mounted system uses an aluminum rail designed with a high-tension spring. Installation brackets are pre-attached at the factory for easy installation on site.
To install, simply insert rail within the window opening and secure the lever. This increases the pressure to the ends of the rail, allowing for a snug fit. Smooth surfaces such as tile or metal will require use of included double sided adhesive.
- Mounting System available in white or black rail
- Cordless roller or motorized
- Only cordless and motorized can use the designer cassette
Bottom Bar
Bottom Rails
The standard bottom rail is fabric wrapped with clear end caps. For a modern look, select an exposed bottom rail in white, black, vanilla, bronze or brushed Aluminum. The bottom rail is 7/8″ tall.

These shades are lead free.
- (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.
- 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.
To Fit Brackets on Trim/Posts
- 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.
- 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 – let us know if you’re not ordering the shade to drop all the way down.
