Roman Shades with blackout lining improves your sleep and home entertainment

Roman shades in recent years are popular for adding styling and interest to décor. But when installed with blackout lining in the master bedroom, roman shades can significantly improve the quality of sleep.  Roman shades with blackout feature can also block out cold and heat.
Many clients have commented "My roman shades make my bedroom feel like a sanctuary, I sleep so much better now".
The fabric, interlining and blackout lining help with cutting down on noise levels as well as block out sunlight when you want to sleep in late.
Another application for a blackout lined roman shade is in the family room or entertainment area of the home where television screens can have glare from nearby windows.
A Creative Touch Draperies & Interiors uses high quality products on the roman shades to include blackout lining, as well as Rollease clutch system products to raise and lower the shade. This enables users to raise/lower the shade with ease and makes the shade feel light versus old style cordlock shades. We ensure the roman shades are in compliance with all ANSI standards with child safety techniques on all chains with the cord tension device
Benefits of roman shades made with blackout lining and Rollease clutch system are listed below:
           1) Ability to raise/lower shade partially without unsightly cords
           2) Style versatility - use different fabrics for shade and valance adds interest
                  -allows easy change out of velcro on valances adding style
           3) Shade coverage in close proximity to window glass due to shade design
           4) Reduction of noise & cold/heat due to thermal lining/interlining
           5) Block sunlight out (sleep improvement and home entertainment)

Below is included some photos of custom made roman shades from A Creative Touch Draperies & Interiors.

Rollease clutch system hardware allows shades to be raised partially without the need to wrap a cord around a cord holder (this doesn't look as clean as a single chain). The Rollease roller tube allows the shade to stay in place without unsightly cords.
