A Substantial Fabric for a Structured Look
Choose this collection when you prefer a substantial fabric and clearly defined folds. The heavyweight material gives the shade a pronounced presence at the window, making it an option for bedrooms, living rooms, and dining spaces where texture is part of the design.
Blackout Performance & Privacy
The blackout construction is designed to significantly reduce incoming light and support privacy.
The darkness achieved in your room depends on fabric color, window exposure, shade dimensions, and installation. Light may still enter around the edges, particularly with an inside mount. Complete room darkness is not guaranteed.
An outside mount with suitable overlap can help reduce light around the window edges. Consider your desired coverage and available mounting space before ordering.
Experience the Fabric Before Ordering
A sample helps you assess the fabric’s weight, texture, and color in your own lighting. Screen images may differ from the material’s appearance in your room.

How Do I Measure for an Outside-Mount Roman Shade?
Choose an outside mount if the opening is too shallow for the required inside-mount depth, is uneven, or you want additional window coverage. The current Roman shade guide requires at least 2 1/2 inches of clear depth for an inside mount, unless the selected model states otherwise.
Measure the full window width including moulding. The guide’s starting point is this width plus 1/2 inch in total. For additional coverage, plan up to 1 1/2 inches of overlap on each side where space permits; enter the resulting finished width rather than adding both allowances together.
Measure the finished height from the planned top of the headrail to the desired bottom edge. The guide’s starting point is the full window height including moulding plus 3 inches. If you mount higher, include that additional distance. Do not apply the 3/8-inch inside-mount deduction.
Do I Need to Subtract ⅜ Inch for an Inside Mount?
For a manually measured inside mount, measure the opening width at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest measurement and subtract 3/8 inch once before entering your order width.
Example: a smallest opening width of 40 inches gives an order width of 39 5/8 inches. This is the order width after your deduction; do not deduct it a second time. Do not subtract from the height. Check the Roman Shade Measurement Guide and any model-specific instructions before ordering.
How Do I Measure the Height for an Inside-Mount Roman Shade?
Measure the inside height at the left, center, and right, from the top inside edge of the opening to the sill. Enter the largest measurement as your order height. Do not deduct from the inside-mount height.
Record dimensions in inches to the nearest 1/8 inch, with width first and height second. Measure every window separately and check for obstructions.
What Minimum Window Depth Is Required for an Inside Mount?
The current Roman shade headrail requires at least 2 1/2 inches of clear, unobstructed depth for an inside mount, unless the selected product specifies a different requirement.
Measure at the top of the opening from the front edge to the nearest obstruction. Handles, locks, screens, and projecting trim reduce usable depth. If clear depth is less than 2 1/2 inches, choose an outside mount or contact us before ordering. Do not assume that a 2-inch opening meets this requirement.
