These four styles handle light in different ways. Compare how much view you want to keep, when you need privacy, and the fabric texture you prefer. You can also explore the Alustra roller collections above.
Designer Roller Shades provide a tailored, streamlined profile with fabric choices for different light and privacy goals. They are a useful starting point when you want a simple shade that works with modern or transitional interiors.
Designer Screen Shades help manage glare and harsh sunlight while preserving more of the outward view. Screen fabrics that preserve a daytime view can become more transparent from outside after dark when interior lights are on. Plan a second layer or a different opacity when nighttime privacy matters.
Designer Banded Shades use alternating sheer and solid fabric bands to vary light and privacy. They suit rooms where you want a layered visual effect and more adjustment than a single fabric plane provides.
Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades combine a roller-style profile with cellular construction and softly curved fabric. Selected fabrics offer semi-opaque or room-darkening choices, subject to the exact configuration.
A shade that keeps more of the view may provide less privacy after dark. A denser fabric can increase privacy and reduce more light but also change the view. Compare samples at the window and consider both daytime and nighttime conditions before choosing.
For rooms with screens, televisions, or strong sun, decide where glare occurs and when it matters most. Fabric openness, color, mount, and window orientation all affect the result.
Light-filtering fabrics soften daylight. Room-darkening fabrics block more light, but the completed installation can still let light through at the sides, top, or bottom.
For a bedroom or media room, we’ll consider the fabric and mounting details together. Adding drapery or another layer can help when a single shade cannot provide both the daytime view and nighttime coverage you want.
Manual and motorized operating choices vary by product, fabric, size, and configuration. Selected configurations may support PowerView® Automation. Confirm power, charging access, controls, mounting depth, and service access before final selection.
Use the room's most important need to narrow the category.
Start with Designer Screen Shades when preserving more of the view is important, then review nighttime privacy and opacity before deciding.
Start with Designer Roller Shades when clean lines, fabric choice, and straightforward coverage are the main priorities.
Start with Designer Banded Shades when you want alternating sheer and solid bands for variable light and privacy.
Start with Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades when you prefer a roller-style look with a cellular fabric structure and softly diffused light.
Screen fabrics that preserve an outward view during the day can become more transparent from outside after dark when interior lights are on. Consider a denser fabric or second layer when nighttime privacy is important.
Not necessarily. Room-darkening fabric blocks more light, but gaps around the shade can still let light in. The fabric, mounting position, and edge treatment need to be considered together if you want a blackout result.
A standard roller shade uses one fabric plane. A banded shade uses alternating sheer and solid bands that can be aligned to vary light, view, and privacy.
Selected roller shade products and configurations may support PowerView® Automation. Compatibility, power, controls, charging access, and size must be confirmed for the exact shade.
