Roller shades in Toronto are both practical and stylish. They not only provide easy to use window coverings, but can add color, design and texture to your Toronto home.

Roller Shades are window coverings that have a rolling mechanism. The top of the shade fits at the upper part of the window. Cloth or vinyl is attached to the roller shade’s top as well as its bottom bar. The window covering rolls out from the top in a downward motion.

Roller Shades have an optional valance or decorative top section that covers the top bar. The shade may be accented with a bottom pull, fringes or scalloped edges.

Black-out, semi-opaque, sheer and semi-sheer are the main types of Roller Shades available in Toronto. Black-out shades offer the most room darkening properties. This type may be preferred in babies’ rooms as well as in the bedrooms of adults who work nights and need to sleep during the day.

Semi-opaque shade styles block most of the incoming light. These may feature two layers of densely woven fabric. Only shadowy lines rather than a silhouette are usually visible when looking from the outside in to windows covered with semi-opaque roller shades. Sheer roller shade varieties are completely transparent and permit a clear view while letting in maximum light. Semi-sheer shades filter light and produce only silhouettes when seen from the outside.
