Roller shades are one of our favorite window coverings because they are sleek, easy to use, and have outstanding functionality. A single roller shade is an excellent choice, but imagine the benefits of placing two shades on the same window. The Andrew Norris & Associates team is here to share the benefits of dual roller shades and help you design yours.

Privacy

Regardless of the fabric opacity, two shades will provide more privacy than one. Using a sheer and light-filtering fabric on the window is an excellent way to enjoy the most privacy without eliminating natural light.

Light Control

Another benefit of dual roller shades is the ability to combine a light-filtering shade with a blackout shade for versatile light control. You can pair two blackout fabrics for maximum light control for bedrooms or nurseries.

Energy Efficiency

Solar shade fabric helps keep your home cool on warm days, reducing energy usage. Placing a solar roller shade and a sheer or light-filtering shade on the same window will enhance your home’s energy efficiency during summer.

Versatile Styles

Roller shades are available in hundreds of fabrics, with various decorative trims and top treatments. If you want your shades to be an equal blend of fashion and function, try pairing a solid shade fabric with a printed one. You can also use a solid light-colored fabric with a darker color to create a subtle contrast.

Low Maintenance

Two roller shades on a window are often easier to care for than a single shade of another style. Roller shades have flat surfaces, so they don’t accumulate dirt and dust as quickly as other shades. You can wipe vinyl material with a damp cloth, while you can use a feather duster or a vacuum upholstery brush on low suction to remove debris from other fabrics.

Motorized Dual Roller Shades

Motorization makes dual roller shades even more convenient and enhances their functionality. Roller shades from Hunter Douglas are available with PowerView® Automation, an intuitive, award-winning system that lets you control your shades using an app, a handheld remote, or voice commands when you integrate PowerView® Automation with your smart home system. You can also equip Hunter Douglas roller shades with SoftTouch® Motorization, a user-friendly, battery-powered system that offers quiet, reliable operation. Horizons™ Shades are also available with motorization.
