Frequently asked
Are High-Lite shades the same as standard roller blinds?
High-Lite shades feature unique alternating sheer and solid bands, unlike standard roller blinds. This allows you to shift between view and privacy while keeping the shade down.
Do all fabrics have the same stripe width?
Band widths range from 3 to 5 inches depending on the fabric you choose. We help you compare samples so you can see exactly how the scale looks.
Can I pick any cassette for my shade?
We recommend selecting the cassette that best matches your window depth and design. We ensure your chosen hardware works with your specific fabric and mount.
How do the bottom rails differ?
The Enclosed and Petal rails offer different profiles to finish the bottom of your shade. We help you choose the look that best complements your interior style.
Does room-darkening fabric block all light?
Room-darkening fabric significantly reduces light for a restful environment. While it is not total blackout, it provides the privacy and comfort needed for most bedrooms.
How do we start a project?
Send us photos of your rooms and your approximate window sizes. Our Edmonton team will reach out to discuss your style and guide you through the next steps.
Are these shades easy to clean?
High-Lite shades are low-maintenance. You can gently dust the fabric or use a soft vacuum attachment to keep them looking fresh and clean for years.
