Inside Mount - Tip to Tip
This option is for shades mounted within a window frame or within framed constraints. The shade assembly will be fabricated so that it fits into this confined space. The measurement outside the brackets will match the measurement you provide.

Outside Mount - Tip to Tip
This option is for shades mounted outside of the window frame. The shade assembly will be fabricated so that it fits into this confined space. The measurement outside the brackets will match the measurement you provide.

Outside Mount - Fabric Width
This option is for shades mounted outside of the window frame. Use this option if your critical measurement is the fabric width. The shade will be fabricated to your specified fabric width. The brackets and end components will extend beyond the measurement you provide.

The difference between Inside Mount Tip to Tip and Outside Mount Tip to Tip is in how we handle accessories. For instance, a fascia ordered for a shade used as outside mount will have decorative end caps and an inside mount shade will not.

PDF Specification Sheet

Our privacy ratings aren't necessarily applicable for every application. Privacy and visibility have an inverse relationship. Lower openness equals less visibility but more privacy. Material thickness also plays a roll. Thicker materials generally have less visibility and more privacy than thinner materials of the same openness.

Our Privacy Ratings:
None - Materials 5% or more open
Minimal - 3% open materials
Moderate - 1% open and dimming materials
Full - Blackout and Opaque materials

More information about material selection and examples of visibility/privacy go to our Roller Shade Material Tech Section.

Regular Roll
The material rolls off the back of the shade and puts the material closer to the glass. Beware of obsticles that might obstruct the shade. This method provides slightly more light blockage than reverse roll because the exit angle for the light is smaller.

Reverse Roll
The material rolls off the front of the and puts the material further away from the glass. Reverse roll provides a cleaner looking shade installation by somewhat hiding the roll.
Note: Reverse Roll can not be used with Fascia.

Use caution when using Regular Roll in double hung windows, windows with handles or cranks. Keep in mind that even though you have enough mounting depth at the top of the shade you may not have enough space to clear obstructions at the bottom of the window.

The roll direction can not be easily changed by the end user. The material would need to be removed from the shade, flipped over and then reattached.

R28 Power Lead
A 12" long wire with the mating Somfy R28/ST28 connector for the motor. You provide your own power supply and make your own connection. This motor requires 12VDC 1Amp (Nominal). The amount of current draw varies with the size of shade.

External Lithium-ion Battery Pack
Somfy 9021217 12VDC 2600mAh rechargeable external li-ion battery pack with 5 year warranty with mounting clips that is typically mounted behind the shade.

External Lithium-ion Battery Pack with Charger
Same as above but includes Somfy 9025166 Charger with an 81" Lead.

External Lithium-ion Battery Pack with Charger and Extension Lead
Same as above but includes Somfy 9021016 94.5" charger extension lead.

Power Supply Terminated from 1 to 10 feet
We supply our 12VD150W power supply which is a small white 12VDC 1.5A power supply that is terminated with the connector for the Somfy R28 motor. We offer this power supply terminated in lengths from 1 to 10 feet.

The Somfy R28/RU28/ST28 shade motors are designed to be powered 12VDC. This can be done with a DC power supply or battery pack. Not offered directly with these shades but, Somfy does have a Solar Rechargeable Battery Pack option for those that have good sun exposure.

One common question is "How long will the battery pack last?". The 9021217 external li-ion battery pack carries a 5 year warranty. With normal use the battery pack is only expected to require recharging 1 or 2 times a year depending on size of shade and usage. The shade height and usage affect the life of the batteries more so than weight. Tall shades will drain batteries faster than a shade of equal weight that is shorter.

We also have Power Supplies for larger Installations where the shade would be remotely powered.

RTS is a Somfy RF communication protocol that allows control of the shades without line of sight. The typical range of a RTS control is 60 feet so you can control living room shades from remote locations like the bedroom.

Each channel of a RTS control can be used for either group or individual control. All motors on the same RTS Channel will be controlled simultaneously as a group. Each RTS channel has its own unique RF ID so multiples of the same control can be used in the same application. Each motor can memorize up to 12 RTS channels so your control options are virtually limitless.

With a brief momentary push of a button, the user to can move the shade all the way up, down or to a customer set "My" postion

More control options are avaiable in our Somfy RTS Controls Page.

Shade Coverings - Fascia, Valances, Cornices

Due to the possible options Fascia, Valances and Cornices are offered separately from the shades and can be purchased in our Shade Coverings page.

A couple exmples of the our offerings are listed below.

Classic IB Valance

The Classic IB shade valance provides a simple clean covering for your window treatment needs. This valance is offered in a large variety of materials so it can blend in or provide a nice textural contrast. This valance is constructed of shade material and has a hemmed pocket with an aluminum hem bar. One of the nice features of this valance is its soft nature. It can be easily moved out of the way to gain access to the window treatment behind it. The Classic IB Valance is available with a height of 5" to 8" and is offered with two different header options to suit your mounting needs. The 1" D x 3/4" H header can be used where you have adequate depth to mount the valance in front of the shade or you can choose 3 1/2"D x 3/4" H header that you would mount in the window frame before mounting the shade and then mount the shade to the header board. The valance is mounted to the header board using staples so it can be dismantled, modified and reassembled by the users to further suit their needs.

Classic IB - Inside Mount Shade Valance

Fascia

The Rollease RFP Series aluminum fascia panel simply snaps into the fascia panel brackets for easy access to the roller shade components. The RFP series fascia panel can be used for inside or outside frame mount applications. This fascia panel covers the front and bottom to hide the shade assembly. The back and top of the fascia are left open. The use of this fascia panel forces the shade to use regular roll. Regular roll puts the shade material closest to the window. The 4" Fascia panel is our standard size offered which is compatible with our Chain & Clutch Shades, Somfy LT30, ST28, ST30, ST40 and ST50 Motorized Shades.
