Premium Features & Customization Options

Advanced Solar Fabric Options: Choose from a wide range of openness levels (from 1% to 10%) to control exactly how much light and view you let in. Whether you want a sheer, airy feel or more defined privacy and sun control, the Elite collection has the perfect solar weave for your space.

Modern, On-Trend Colors: The Select Colors section showcases a refined palette of designer-inspired neutrals, crisp whites, deep charcoals, and layered textures. These shades are made to harmonize with both modern and transitional interiors.

Custom Sizing for a Tailored Look: Use our Measure Your Windows tool to customize your order to exact width and height specifications. Every shade is handmade to fit your windows like a glove.

Multiple Lift Options: Select from standard continuous cord loop, cordless for a cleaner silhouette, or upgrade to motorized control — including remote and smart home compatibility — for seamless, push-button operation.

Optional Cassette Valance: Finish your shade with a sleek cassette valance or fabric-wrapped fascia to hide the roller mechanism and give your windows a high-end, built-in look.

IMPORTANT MEASURING TIP: If No-Drill Blinds Headrail is chosen, take all three standard width measurements (top, middle, bottom) to check for variance, but be sure to input the exact measurement of the top of your window frame into the width field. Compare the three measurements, and if the variance between them exceeds 1/4", No-Drill Blinds Headrail may not fit properly.

Deductions may vary +/- 1/8".

SelectBlinds Automation

SelectBlinds Automation is our latest innovation in motorized control, offering seamless two-way communication between your smartphone and shades, with support for unlimited shades, customizable scenes, and flexible timers.

For an average-sized shade under typical usage (raising and lowering once per day) the internal rechargeable battery will last around 6 months. BThe battery can be recharged up to 500 times. It takes approximately 7 hours to recharge the motor when fully depleted.

The internal rechargeable battery requires a 5V DC compatible charger, which is sold separately as a charging kit. The kit is available in white only and includes a power block and a 120” charging cable equipped with a USB-C connection. At least one charging kit should be added to your order,

The 5-channel remote can control up to 10 individual window treatments. Motorization lift system upgrade does not include remote. A remote is not required for system operation, but if remote control operation is desired, we recommend adding one remote to your order for every room of shades.

Add a Solar Panel to your order to keep your shades charged automatically, reducing the need for manual charging and battery maintenance. This convenient, energy-efficient option utilizes solar energy captured at the window and offers flexible mounting options. Product specifications and installation instructions are available here.
