Automated Roller Shades
Our RB 500+ Automated Roller Shades combine advanced motorization with high-performance fabrics for commercial applications. Featuring quiet operation and integration with smart building systems, these shades accommodate widths up to 360" and heights up to 240". The modular design supports customization with options like dual shades, blockout systems, and fascia finishes in multiple colors.
Manual Roller Shades
RB 500+ Manual Roller Shades deliver reliable light control through chain or crank mechanisms engineered for smooth operation. With standard duty and heavy-duty clutch options, these systems handle oversized windows while maintaining ANSI safety standards. Available in 500+ fabric combinations with openness factors from 0-25% for tailored light filtration.
Exterior Roller Shades
Commercial-grade exterior roller shades intercept solar heat gain before it enters buildings. Constructed with weather-resistant fabrics and heavy-duty aluminum components, these systems withstand wind loads while providing glare control. Motorized options include automated sun-tracking capabilities for energy-efficient building facades.
Tension Systems
TZ100 Zipper Tension Systems maintain fabric tension across horizontal, vertical, and inclined applications. Designed for skylights and custom glazing, these motorized solutions eliminate light gaps while supporting blackout or translucent fabric combinations. The single-motor design reduces installation complexity and maintenance requirements.
Sustainable Solutions
Our sustainability initiatives include Cradle to Cradle Certified fabrics and low-VOC materials contributing to LEED credits. Life-cycle assessments document environmental impacts from production to disposal. GREENGUARD Gold Certified products ensure indoor air quality compliance for healthcare, education, and commercial spaces.
