Layered Shades

Dynamic Light Management

Most regular window coverings can only be fully opened or closed. A more flexible approach is needed for properties in Millburn and the Financial District. The amount of sunlight and privacy vary throughout the day.

We at Professional Shades Custom Window Treatments knows how to put up dual-layered systems just the way you want them. Technical building and skilled installation of high-performance treatments are done that provide the user complete control over their environment. This allows them to adjust light levels and privacy according to their preferences.

Role of a Dual Panel System

The basic goal of this setup is to establish a happy medium between total darkness and a clear view. The “striped” effect of these systems comes from having two layers of fabric that glide over each other.

By sliding the layers around, the user can allow in mild light, block off the sun completely, or open the window all the way. This flexibility makes it a perfect alternative for busy home offices or living spaces where screens always get glare.

A System for Accurate Design

The tiered color system is what makes this treatment stand out. In this system, the fabric continuously moves around a bottom roller and returns to the top housing in a circular motion. One layer is made of solid material, and the other is built of a very tiny mesh.

Making and Changing Sizes

A product that says “one size fits all” doesn’t always function right because every window frame is different. We build a housing unit that fits perfectly inside your window casing and is the proper size.

The layered shades mechanism needs to fit firmly so that it can move without hitting the frame. To make sure that the top bracket can withstand the weight of the two layers of fabric and still look slim and low-profile so that it blends in with the wall.

How to Install Like a Pro

When you build up a dual-layer system, you have to be cautious. If the top roller is not fixed properly, the fabric will move to one side and tear. Our service team handles everything from the initial measurement to the last calibration. We check the tension to make sure that the fabric glides smoothly from open to closed. This professional method resolves common issues that arise with DIY kits, such as crooked lines or stuck rollers.

System for Regular Upkeep

High-performance hardware needs frequent care to stay in peak shape. Dust or a physical collision can sometimes throw the layers out of alignment. We have a specific service for resolving these technical issues with layered shades.

Our personnel can open up the inside of the housing to correct motor faults in automated systems, realign the rollers, or replace worn wires.
A professional layered shade repair will keep your system working well, protect your investment, and make sure your home looks great.
