What they are
Roller and solar shades for Howell homes
A roller shade is a single panel of fabric that winds up around a tube at the top of the window. Down, it gives a flat, clean surface; up, it nearly disappears. That makes it one of the simplest ways to cover large or numerous windows.
Many homes around Howell sit on open lots with long views across yards, fields or water, and the sun reaches the windows with nothing in the way. Solar screen fabrics are made for that. They cut glare and UV while keeping your view, so a great room or a kitchen nook stays usable on a bright afternoon. Homes on Thompson Lake or Lake Chemung often choose them to tame the glare off the water.
Light filtering fabrics add privacy, and blackout fabrics darken bedrooms and media rooms in the lower level. We carry roller shades from Hunter Douglas and from Norman, including Norman Soluna™ shades with PrecisionLift™ cordless lifting, and we can motorize them for tall great room windows.

Operating options & care
Cordless, motorized and low maintenance
Roller shades can be ordered with a continuous loop chain, with a cordless spring lift you guide by hand, or motorized. Norman’s PrecisionLift™ cordless system and Hunter Douglas PowerView® motorization are both popular choices, and motorization is especially handy for large or hard-to-reach windows. We install and set up any motorized shades.
Roller shades are easy to care for: dust them with a soft brush or vacuum on low, and spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Check the care label for your fabric before using any cleaner.

Roller shade questions
Common questions from Howell homeowners about roller and solar shades.
Will solar shades cut the glare off the lake at my Howell-area home?
Solar screen fabrics are made to cut glare and UV while keeping a view outside during the day. More open weaves keep more view; tighter weaves block more glare. We bring several so you can compare them at your windows.
What works for a lower-level media room in my Howell home?
Blackout roller shades are a good choice for media rooms and lower-level bedrooms. Mounting and fabric choice affect how much light shows at the edges, so we look at the windows with you.
What is the difference between a roller shade and a solar shade?
A solar shade is a roller shade made with a screen-like fabric. It cuts glare and UV while keeping your view outside. Regular roller shades use light filtering or blackout fabrics for more privacy and darkness.
Are roller shades child safe?
Cordless options such as Norman PrecisionLift™ remove the loop cord entirely, and Norman offers products certified Best for Kids™. We’ll point out the cord-free choices for kids’ rooms.
How do I clean roller shades?
Dust them with a soft brush or a vacuum on low, and spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Follow the care label for your fabric.
