Shades for Large Windows

Insolroll offers a large selection of wide-width fabrics to cover large windows. There are several approaches to covering windows that are wider than the width of the fabric, and your Insolroll Dealer can help you understand the advantages of each solution and select the one best for your application.

Multiple Panel Non-railroaded Shades

For applications with large shades, 2 or 3 non-railroaded panels can mounted on a single roller tube with a single motor. The 3/4″ fabric gaps are typically lined up with window mullions for a crisp, finished appearance.

Coupled Motorized Shades

Another technique for covering wider applications is coupling single or multiple shades on separate roller tubes supported by a center bracket.

  • Coupled shades can be made with up to 5 non-railroaded shade panels on a single motor. 
  • Coupled shades can have exposed roller or 4″ fascia
  • Coupled and multiple panel shades can provide easier installation and cost efficiency.
