Clean integration
Fascia, cassettes, or ceiling pockets hide tubes and keep the head detail consistent.
Scope
What this has to solve.
Broad openings
Larger tubes and multi-band systems span wide curtain-wall bays.
Repeatability
A documented detail can be repeated across floors and phases.
Fabric flexibility
The same hardware can carry solar, opaque, or blackout fabric by room.
Solution matrix
By space type.
| Space | Recommendation | Specification note |
|---|---|---|
| Curtain wall bays | Multi-band rollers or motorized tubes | Align breaks to mullions |
| Punched windows | Inside-mount roller with fascia | Verify depth and squareness |
| Ceiling pockets | Recessed pocket roller | Coordinate before ceiling close |
| Presentation rooms | Opaque roller with side channels | Edge light control |
Hembar
Choose a hembar profile that hangs straight and suits the look.
Fabric deflection
Very wide shades need tube sizing that prevents sag.
Light gaps
Inside mounts leave edge gaps; channels or outside mounts reduce them.
