Frequently asked questions
Where should I start?
Choose the room goal first—darkness, insulation, adjustable bands or decorative folds—then choose cordless, motorized or made-to-measure ordering.
Do all current SunShieldor styles use blackout fabric?
Yes. The current roller, zebra, cellular and Roman products use full-blackout fabric; final room darkness still depends on fit and installation gaps.
