Minimums and Maximums

As shades get wider, they require a larger diameter tube roller. When ordering different width shades in the

same room the diameter of the raised shade could vary even if the length is similar. If you are not using a

valance or fascia and you desire a consistent look, you will need to request the largest roller tube required on

your order for all the shades. Price grids outline standard roller tube size.

Railroaded Fabrics

Roller Shade Diameter Consistency


Sizes exceeding fabric width are made from railroaded cloth, (when available) using width for height,

therefore any pattern will run sideways. Railroading fabric will accommodate a wider width shade but will

in turn limit the height of the shade to the fabric width minus 12” or more unless the fabric is seamed.

Seamed Fabrics

Some fabrics are available seamed, two pieces of fabrics are heat-welded together creating a visible

horizontal seam toward the top of the shade. Refer to the chart on page 6 for seaming availability.

Measuring Instructions

Inside Mount:

Mark order “Inside Mount”. Measure the exact width of the

opening where the roller shade brackets will be installed, to

the nearest, lowest 1/8”. Factory will make deductions to

ensure proper fit. Measure the height of the opening.

Outside Mount:

Mark order “Outside Mount”. Measure width and height of

area to be covered and provide exact dimensions required.

It is recommended that Roller Shades overlap the window

by at least 1 1/2” on each side. If mounting brackets are

needed beyond the casing or to clear obstructions

(i.e. window cranks, trim work, etc.) projection brackets are

available upon request.

Note:

Inside mount measurements represent the exact window

opening size, the factory will make the necessary

deductions to insure proper fit. Outside measurements

represent the exact tip-to-tip size needed.

Please use a steel tape measure to ensure proper measurements.

• Roller shade sizes are based on tip-to-tip measurements.

• Roller shade fabric is 1” less than the tip-to-tip measurement on shades produced on

1 1/4” and 1 1/2” tubes.

• Roller shade fabric is 1 1/8” to 1 1/4” less than tip-to-tip measurement on shades

produced on 2” and 3” roller or shades with Cassette 120. (except Motorized =1 7/8” difference)

Roller Shade Deductions

Tip-to-Tip vs. Fabric Measurements

• When ordering an outside mount shade, determine the width you desire the

fabric to be and add for the tip-to-tip measurement.

• Additional fabric is added to ordered height to allow for roller coverage and spring tension.

Roller Shade depth requirements are affected by several variables, such as: the size of the roller tube (depends on the shade width), the thickness of the fabric, and the overall shade height. Please review the chart below to determine if you have enough window depth for inside mount.

Depth Requirements

*Flush mount measure is taken from the back of the bracket to the front edge of the clutch mechanism. The fabric roll, in most cases, will not exceed this depth.

Solar Screen Roller Shade Motorization Options

5 Steps to Motorized Roller Shades

Step 1. Verify that your shade falls within the allowable size ranges and depth requirements

for motorization. Battery operated Roller Shades can be motorized at a minimum width of

13” up to maximum size of 48 square feet. Larger motorized shades require a plug-in or

in-wall wiring, maximum square footage will vary depending on AC or DC power.

Step 2. Choose your motor type - Radio Frequency

a. Radio Frequency (RF) provides the perfect solution for hard to reach

windows. No need to aim the control, the radio signal travels through walls similar

to a garage door opener.

Step 3. Choose your power source - Battery Powered, Plug-In, or In-Wall Wired

a. Battery Wirefree™ - The motor is powered by extended life lithium batteries.

Reloadable tube holds 8 AA batteries. No wires to conceal and no need for an

electrician.

Optional solar panel is mounted on in the inside of the window opening and

converts the sun’s light into electrical energy. The harnessed electrical energy is

stored within a special battery which powers any WireFree™ motorized window

covering, resulting in a maintenance-free, environmentally friendly alternative to

disposable lithium batteries.

b. Plug-In - Maintenance free operation. DC motors use a transformer similar to a

laptop or cell phone charger that plugs directly into a standard electrical outlet. AC

motors come with a standard cord that plugs into any 110 outlet.

c. In-Wall Wired - The motor is typically wired into the home/building’s electrical

system, requiring an electrician. AC in-wall wired motors are wired directly to a

junction box leaving no wires to conceal. DC in-wall wired motors are wired to a

transformer using a speaker type wire.

Step 4. Choose your control - Remote or Wall Switch

a. Radio Frequency (RF) - Available in single channel, 5-channel, 16-channel and

20-channel option as well as single or 5-channel wall switch, waterproof patio

remote or programmable timer.

Step 5. Select your programming options. Shades can operate individually, as a group, or

both individually and as a group.

For pricing and more specific information about these and other motorized options please see our

Motorization Pricelist February 3, 2015.
