3 Reasons to Love Roman Shades

There are a wide variety of aesthetic styles for Roman shades with several key design elements that unite all Roman Shades together. They all have a fabric front. When lowered, the soft shades display the treatment’s fabric in stunning, sculpted manner, and when raised the fabric of Roman shades stacks in horizontal folds. Roman shades can be seen in rooms throughout the home and can also be used for a variety of applications including using Roman shades for sliding glass doors, patio doors, or windows.

3 Reasons to Love Roman Shades

1. Easy to Move

Even though Roman shades use fabric, which can be extremely heavy in large quantities, the weight does not prevent the easy movement of Roman shades thanks to the shade’s unique rear lifting system. Roman shades by Hunter Douglas are also available with motorized operating systems like PowerView® Automation, that puts control at your fingertip with easy-to-use interfaces that include a handheld or wall Pebbel® remote or the PowerView® app on your smartphone or tablet. As such, Roman shades for sliding doors or broad windows are popular in homes because despite the size they are still easy for residents to open and close.

2. A Range of Light Control

Modern Roman shades have an elevated ability to control light with an extensive selection of fabrics that can filter or block sunlight as well as operating systems designed to extend the range of light control. In the Hunter Douglas collection, you’ll find Roman shades compatible with the Duolite® system (that uses two shades on a single roller for a spectrum of control) or the Top-Down/Bottom-Up system (that allows shades to open from the top or bottom for additional flexibility). With elevated light control, using Roman shades for sliding glass doors, picture windows, or standard windows helps to create a controlled and comfortable interior atmosphere.

3. Diversity of Style

Though Roman shades as a type of window covering are hundreds of years old, the modern incarnations by Hunter Douglas are outfitted with the latest in residential style. Homeowners can enjoy the elevated aesthetics of exclusive designer fabrics and global textiles found in the different fabric collections for Roman shades by Hunter Douglas as well as different styles of the shade itself. For example, there are rolling or stacking styles of Roman shades as well as flat, batten front, or batten back styles for nuanced differences in appearance to better suit individual home décor. With such a range of customizations it’s easy to fashion Roman shades for sliding glass doors or windows throughout a home.
