Different from roller shades, roman shades allow the user an endless variety of cloth and fabric. Using the Lutron QED technology, the user will have all of the benefits of the most versitile motorized shade systems and a range of fabrics limited only by the user's imagination.


Roman Shade Pacifica Advanced Shading

101-Pacifica
This is a simple, flat style, with rear-facing stay pockets that add detail to the front of the shade. The stays add structure, giving this style a more tailored look than a style without stays such as the 114-Tahoe.

If elegant simplicity is what you want, the 101-Pacifica is the ideal solution. It is uncomplicated and versatile.

This shade can be made up in any fabric.

Roman Shade Balboa Advanced Shading

103-Balboa
"Hobbling" the face fabric onto the lining fabric at regular intervals creates overlapping folds that cascade from top to bottom. We use specially constructed tables to make this popular and unique style.

Because the lining is essential to the hobbling, this shade is always lined.

The flexibility of the design lends itself to all kinds of fabric, from full-bodied, heavy fabrics to softer, more pliable ones. Full-bodied fabrics tend to project forward, while pliable fabrics tend to have a softer, wavier appearance.

Roman Shade Laguna Advanced Shading

104-Laguna
Since there are no stay pockets or grommets in the construction of this shade, large prints are displayed to their best advantage with this style.

Small tack stitches (made to attach the cord rings) are visible on the face of the shade, and add character.

This tailored shade is an ideal style choice for fabrics with large prints or scenic patterns.
The 104-Laguna can be made up in any fabric. Tightly woven fabrics have a tailored appearance, whereas softer fabrics tend to have a relaxed look.

Shade construction is slightly different if the shade is made up in a sheer fabric.

When first installed, the shade may need to be pulled up fully and left in place for several days to establish pleat memory.

Roman Shade California Advanced Shading

105-California
As with all of our grommeted styles, the stays in the 105-California are clear acrylic. This ensures that they are not visible through the fabric. This style has one grommet pocket between two pleats of equal size.

The shade's lifting cords are routed through the grommets.

Large prints are interrupted by the grommeted folds at the back of the shade.

This shade can be made up in any fabric. However, if the fabric is sheer, the shade must be lined or the face fabric will tear at the grommets.

Roman Shade Cardiff Advanced Shading

106-Cardiff
As with all of our grommeted styles, the stays in the 106-Cardiff are clear acrylic. This ensures that they are not visible through the fabric.

This shade can be made up in any fabric. However, if the fabric is sheer, the shade must be lined or the face fabric will tear at the grommets.

Large prints are interrupted by the grommeted folds.




Roman Shade Carmel Advanced Shading

112-Carmel
When the shade is raised, it has a tighter "stack" (the amount of vertical space taken up by the raised shade) than our other styles.

This style can be made up in any type of fabric. Large prints are interrupted by the stay pockets.







Roman ShadeTahoe Advanced Shading

114-Tahoe
The 114-Tahoe does not have any horizontal stitching or grommets. This style is very similar to the 104-Laguna; however, the 114-Tahoe does not have stays in the pleats. In addition, the lifting cords are spaced farther apart. These two differences give this shade a softer, more draped look than the 104-Laguna. However, because of the lack of structure, it might require dressing when the shade is raised. When fully lowered, this style is flat, with a straight bottom edge.

This style is an excellent choice for fabrics with large scale or scenic patterns that look best without interruption.

Small tack stitches (made to attach the cord rings) are visible on the face of the shade, and add character.

This shade can be made up in any fabric. Tightly woven fabrics have a tailored appearance, whereas softer fabrics tend to have a relaxed appearance.

Roman Shade Sonoma Advanced Shading

124-Sonoma
The narrow tucked side panels are created by tacking the fabric to the lining at each pleat. Side panels are 4 ¾" to 9" in width.

When made with soft, pliable fabrics, this shade swags gracefully in the center.

This style is a good choice for fabrics with large scale or scenic patterns that look best without interruption.

The finished height is measured from the top of the shade to the top of the center swag. It and does not include the swag or tails.

Roman Shade Coronado Advanced Shading

201-Coronado
This style is made with 4" shirring across the top, and is stapled to the headrail.
Soft, pliable fabrics drape nicely without much attention. Heavier fabrics might require dressing each time the shade is raised.

The bottom of the shade is pulled up at the back to create the swagged appearance. This characteristic is visible from the front if the shade is made in a sheer, unlined fabric.

Because of the amount of fabric in this style, the 201-Coronado can be very heavy.

Roman Shade Windsor Advanced Shading

204-Windsor
Since this style has a lot of fullness, it is not recommended for velvets or bulky fabrics.
The top of the shade is finished with shirring tape and a self-welt.

Valencia

The center poufs and tails are created by pulling up several inches of fabric at the bottom, several inches in from each side, and permanently fixing it in place. This characteristic is visible from the front if the shade is made in a sheer, unlined fabric.

Soft, pliable fabrics tend to drape nicely without much attention. Heavier fabrics might require dressing each time they are raised.

Capistrano

244-Capistrano
This shade is a good choice for a softer look with a touch of formality.

Wide shades will have more than one pouf.

This style has an extended bottom hem. At each side of the shade, the fabric is gathered onto the cord and permanently tied off to the finished height. This characteristic is visible from the front if the shade is made in a sheer, unlined fabric.

This style is suitable for most fabrics; however, very heavy fabrics such as upholstery fabrics are not a good choice. Large prints and geometric designs are not recommended, since the center pleat interrupts the pattern.

Roman Shade Montecito Advanced Shading

250-Montecito
The fullness of this style is created after the grommets are applied by gathering the fabric to match the width of the headrail. The shade's lifting cords are routed through the grommets. The bottom of the shade is pulled up at the back, in an extended bottom hem.


The 250-Montecito looks best when made up with a sheer fabric. However, if the fabric is sheer, the shade must be lined or the face fabric will tear at the grommets. Because of the weight and drape, this style is not appropriate for heavy fabrics or blackout lining.
