Natural light has the power to improve your well-being, productivity, and overall happiness at home. Through expertly crafted motorized roller shades, you can achieve the perfect lighting environment at any time of day.

Getting the fabric right is important. Different materials can help you maximize daylight in living rooms, minimize glare in home offices, and achieve total darkness in bedrooms for a better night’s sleep.

Choosing your material offers more than the perfect finishing. Different weaves and coatings can also help protect your floors, paintings, or furniture from harmful UV rays. It can even help regulate indoor temperatures on hot Florida days.

To help you decide which fabric for roller blinds is perfect for your home, we’ll share an overview in this article of the shades of textiles we provide and their key features. After reading, you’ll have a better idea of how to choose your bespoke window treatment re-fit.

What kind of luxurious textiles we do provide

Our range of Lutron roller shades is fully customizable to create a unique aesthetic in your home. You can design your shades to meet your exact needs through our vast range of opacity levels, materials, styles, and colors.

Opacities

To create the perfect lighting and level of privacy in your home, you can choose your opacity level from our vast range of:

  • Sheer – which offers open weaves that help you enjoy your outdoor view, with a degree of privacy and protection from UV rays and harmful glare, creating the perfect ambiance for living rooms, kitchens, and home offices
  • Translucent – which includes a tighter-weave style to provide an increased level of privacy, making it the perfect design for bathrooms
  • Room darkening – through a range of opaque fabrics, these blackout fabric roller shades can block out the sunlight entirely, offering the perfect sleeping or home-cinema environment. Due to the limited use of material, blackout curtains or shades are usually much cheaper.

Materials

Each material is made to suit a unique purpose. Different fabric compositions can impact the strength, durability, and environmental impact of your shades. You can choose between:

  • PVC-coated fiberglass – which is strong, lightweight, insulating, and doesn’t stretch over time
  • PVC-coated polyester – which is highly durable and can be melted to achieve flawless edges
  • 100% polyester – which is made with virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them recyclable and more environmentally friendly
  • Thermoplastic Olefin – which is tough, durable, and contains almost no harmful chemicals

Styles

Our luxurious fabrics for shades are available in weaves and knits to offer a signature style in your home. You can choose between:

  • Basketweave – where fabrics are intricately woven on a loom and interlaced with strands of yarn at right angles
  • Twill weave – where the weave is elegantly staggered in vertical and horizontal threads to produce a noticeable diagonal pattern
  • Jacquard weave – a machine-woven fabric with a criss-cross network of yarns in a sophisticated twist
  • Warp-knitted – which is created by interlacing little loops into a series of knots

Colors

Each unique fabric has a collection of hand-picked colors to choose from. Some designs are available in more custom colors than others, ranging from 4 variations in some fabrics to 44 in others. Each color can be tailored down to a percentage to perfectly match your home’s interior.
