Cassette, fascia and open-roll valances and manual, chainless or motorized controls are chosen per order and confirmed by the dealer quoting the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a roller shade?
A roller shade is a single piece of fabric that winds onto a tube mounted above the window. Raising and lowering it is the only adjustment. Light control comes from the fabric chosen, which can be transparent, translucent, privacy or blackout.
Can roller shades be motorized?
Yes. Sun Glow roller shades work with Stealth automation and Somfy motorization, controlled by remote, the Smart Life app, Amazon Alexa, Google Home or IFTTT. Manual options are a chain clutch, the Lift Assist Mechanism, the Zero Gravity spring and the NEO Chainless system.
Do roller shades block out all light?
Only with a blackout fabric, and some light will still pass at the edges unless side channels are specified. Sun Glow offers transparent, translucent, privacy and blackout fabrics on the same roller system, so the level of darkness is a fabric decision rather than a different product.
Are Sun Glow roller shades cordless?
Cord-free options are available. The Zero Gravity spring, the NEO Chainless system and motorization all operate without a cord or chain. Chain-operated shades include the Safety Shield child safety device as standard.
What valance options are available for roller shades?
Open Roll, Curved Cassette and Compact Curved Cassette, Square Cassette and Compact Square Cassette, and Square Fascia in three-inch and four-inch depths. Cassettes can be left in their aluminum finish or wrapped in the shade fabric. Hem options are Accubar 2.1, Wrapped Accubar 2.1 and Plain Hem.
Where can I buy Sun Glow roller shades?
Through an authorized Sun Glow dealer. Sun Glow manufactures to order in Toronto and does not sell direct to consumers. Your dealer confirms pricing, lead times and fabric availability, then measures, orders, installs and services the shades. Use the Find a Dealer form on mysunglow.com.
