By Window Condition
When the pocket goes in before the shade is selected.
- Projects where the architect wants the option of shading without committing to a specific shade system
- Speculative residential projects where the buyer will choose shading after move-in
- Commercial fit-outs where shade selection is contingent on tenant decisions
- Phased installations where the budget for shading is in a later phase than the build itself
What the Safety Hinge does that gravity-held pockets can't.
- SkylightsPocket installs horizontally in the ceiling; closure holds against gravity below.
- Slope-top windowsPocket installs at an angle matching the slope; closure holds at the slope angle.
- Trapezoid and other shaped openingsPocket and closure can be fabricated to non-rectangular geometry.
- Reverse-operation shadesShade operates upward from a sill-mounted pocket; closure holds at the bottom.
- Corner conditionsButted or mitred boxes at the corner, with room-side or window-side opening.
What Window Modes also offers — custom fabrication.
Cut-to-size
Profiles arrive sized to the rough opening rather than cut in the field. Mitered corners and end-cuts are done in the workroom against the project dimensions, not on-site by the installer

Mitered corners
Custom corner fabrication for pockets that wrap architectural corners. The S Series in a corner window can be specified butted (two boxes meeting straight) or mitred (two boxes meeting on a 45° corner cut). Either is fabricated to the corner geometry before shipping.
Custom colors
Powder-coat and finish options beyond the standard catalogue.
Questions architects and dealers ask.
What is Blindspace?
Blindspace is an aluminum concealment system designed and manufactured in Sweden that recesses roller shades and drapery track hardware into the ceiling plane. The patented Safety Hinge closure is what makes it work in specialty orientations — skylights, slope-top shades, reverse-operation shades — where gravity-held pockets fail. Window Modes is the authorized US distributor.
Who distributes Blindspace in the United States?
Window Modes is the authorized US distributor of Blindspace®. Window Modes warehouses Blindspace profiles and ships to dealers and other distributors nationally. Window Modes is also the only US distributor that fabricates the shades and tracks that install inside the profiles.
What's the difference between Blindspace S Series and C Series?
The S Series is the standard Blindspace pocket. It comes in fixed sizes — S100×100 and S130×130 are the most common — covering the bulk of motorized roller shade configurations. The C Series is the custom pocket, built to any size with flange options specified individually. The S Series is the starting point for most projects; the C Series handles very large shades, dual-shade conditions, gable shades, and skylight conditions.
TrackTrim is a different category — a recessing system for drapery tracks, not a pocket. If the condition involves drapery, TrackTrim is the right system regardless of what the window would otherwise take.
What is Blindspace TrackTrim?
TrackTrim is a Blindspace recessing system for drapery tracks. The track is plastered flush into the ceiling, leaving the surface continuous above. TrackTrim works with drapery tracks from Somfy, Lutron, and Crestron. Curved sections are available for tracks that turn corners.
Window Modes fabricates the drapery track prepped to fit TrackTrim — other US distributors sell the channel without a matched track. When the condition involves recessed drapery, TrackTrim is the right system. When it involves roller shades, the S or C Series pockets apply.
Can Blindspace pockets accommodate dual shades?
Yes — with the C Series. A single C Series pocket can carry two shades, typically a light-filtering shade and a room-darkening shade sharing one pocket. The C Series provides the wider, deeper geometry that makes dual shades work, built to the specific dimensions the project requires. Pocket dimensions are confirmed against both shade tube diameters and both motor assemblies before framing.
What's the difference between Blindspace and a standard shade pocket?
A standard aluminum shade pocket holds its fascia panel with gravity. Blindspace uses the patented Safety Hinge, which engages mechanically. Gravity-held pockets only work in standard vertical window applications. The Safety Hinge lets the pocket work in any orientation — horizontal skylights, angled slope-top openings, reverse-operation shades.
There's a secondary difference: the Safety Hinge is patented, so a Blindspace specification can be written to prevent substitution.
Does Blindspace work for shaped windows and non-rectangular openings?
Yes. The Safety Hinge — not gravity — is what makes Blindspace work for shaped openings. Slope-top shades, trapezoid openings, skylights, and reverse-operation shades all need a closure that holds in non-standard orientations. Window Modes fabricates the specialty shapes that work with Blindspace: trapezoids, slope-top shades, arched-top configurations, and skylight shades.
Can Blindspace be retrofitted into an existing ceiling?
In most cases, no. Blindspace needs ceiling framing to accommodate the pocket depth. The profile is installed during construction, before the ceiling is closed. Retrofitting into a finished ceiling means opening the ceiling plane, installing framing, setting the profile, and closing the ceiling around it. That's a construction project, not an installation.
Blindspace is a design-phase decision. Once the ceiling closes, the geometry is fixed. If a recessed shade is wanted but the ceiling is already closed, surface-mounted concealment options exist — they aren't Blindspace.
