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.

Insolroll’s Commitment to Child-safe Operation
At Insolroll we are committed to Child-safe roller shade operation, and constantly conducting research and development to engineer our products to meet and exceed industry requirements.
Motorized Shade Operation
Motorization is the gold standard for safe roller shade operation. With the push of a button, tap on a mobile device, or flip of a switch, a tubular motor inside the roller tube raises or lowers the shade without any cords or loops.
Cordless Manual Shade Operation
Insolroll’s Cordless Select and QSR (Quiet Spring Roller) manual operators provide easy, convenient, and reliable operation with a tug of the hem bar. There are no internal or external cords to present safety hazards to children or pets.
