The fabrication capability

Roman shade systems built around the way the shade needs to lift.

Roman shades require more than fabric and hardware. The lift system has to be matched to the size, weight, and control method of the shade.

Window Modes supports Roman shade projects with manual and motorized lift system options, including chain-control Roman lift systems, roller-based Roman lift systems, and motorized assemblies for dealers who want to add automation to a Roman shade order.

Whether the project calls for a manual shade, a battery-powered motorized shade, app control, handheld remotes, wireless wall switches, or integration with a home control system, the Roman shade lift system can be specified around the way the client wants to operate the room.
