Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the size limits for wide or oversized windows?
Roller shades can be custom fabricated to extremely wide widths, depending on the control, or lift system selected, and the fabric chosen. We can also utilize dual-roller configurations where you have two roller shades in one window. This allows for room darkening when required, or sheer/light diffusing during the day.
2. Should I choose cordless manual or motorized shades to avoid daily frustration?
Your choice depends on the window's location and physical size. Even windows at regular height can cause frustration; a kitchen sink window can be difficult to reach if there are counters in the way. Motorized roller shades solve the friction of operating heavy fabrics, oversized windows, or hard-to-reach glass like tall stairwells and high transoms by offering effortless remote or smart home control. Cordless manual lift shades are the most practical, budget-friendly choice for standard-height windows where everyday hands-on operation is easy, and child safety is a top priority.
3. How do I block blinding sun glare without losing my outdoor view or daytime light?
Solar roller shades, sometimes called screen roller shades, are specifically engineered to solve this issue. Their specialized open-weave structure filters out harsh UV heat and glare, protecting your eyes and furniture while preserving your daytime privacy, natural light, and outdoor visibility. Please note, we do not recommend screen shades if privacy is an issue at night time. Depending on your fabric percentage, or openness rating, you can see inside through the shades at night time. For spaces requiring darkness rather than glare reduction, light-filtering or room-darkening fabrics are recommended.
4. Will high humidity or cooking grease ruin roller shades in bathrooms and kitchens?
Standard fabrics will warp or mildew in these spaces, but you can prevent this by selecting high-performance materials. For high-moisture and high-grease environments, we use performance vinyl or synthetic polyester blends that naturally resist warping, moisture absorption, and mildew while remaining easy to wipe clean.
5. How do I care for and clean my roller shades?
Most roller shades require light dusting or vacuuming with a brush attachment. Spot cleaning with mild detergent and water is typically sufficient for most fabric stains. Care instructions may vary depending on the material selected.
6. Do you offer design consultations and installation service in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas?
We provide full service across Winnipeg, surrounding communities, and cottage country. You can book a consultation to review fabric samples and receive expert guidance either in-home or by visiting our local showroom located inside Dufresne Furniture at 1750 Ellice Ave.
