Custom Roller Shades, Simple and Precise
A roller shade is a single panel of fabric that winds neatly around a slim tube at the top of the window. Lowered, it gives a flat, uninterrupted surface; raised, it nearly disappears. That simplicity makes roller shades one of the most versatile window treatments, as at home in a bedroom as in a glass-walled office.
Custom-made to your measurements, with consultation and installation throughout New York City. You choose the fabric, the level of light control and the way the shade operates, from a cordless lift to a fully motorized system, and we build each shade to fit your window precisely.
The Case for Roller Shades
- 01
Clean, minimal look
A flat fabric face and compact roll suit modern and traditional rooms alike.
- 02
Any level of light
The same system works with sheer, screen, light-filtering and blackout fabrics.
- 03
Fits almost anywhere
Inside or outside mount, from small windows to wide spans of glass.
- 04
Easy to layer
Pair with drapery, or combine a screen and a blackout shade in one opening.
- 05
Ready for motorization
Quiet motors with remote, app, voice or scheduled control.
Light Control & Operation
Fabric types and openness
- Sheer & screen
- Open weaves, measured as an openness percentage, that cut glare while keeping a view out. Lower openness means stronger glare control.
- Light filtering
- Solid fabrics that diffuse daylight into a soft, even glow and give daytime privacy.
- Blackout
- Opaque fabrics that block light for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms.
- Flame retardant
- Fabrics for commercial and hospitality projects with fire-safety requirements.
Controls
- Cordless
- Lift and lower by hand with no cords or chains, a clean choice for children's rooms.
- Continuous loop
- A chain control for precise positioning, well suited to larger shades.
- Motorized
- Whisper-quiet motors operated by remote, app, voice assistant or schedule, with set top and bottom positions.

Care & Maintenance
- Dust or vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment while the shade is lowered.
- Spot-clean marks with a soft cloth, lukewarm water and mild soap; avoid harsh cleaners.
- Let a damp fabric dry fully before rolling it up again.
- Keep the fabric rolling straight; if it starts to drift to one side, contact us for an adjustment.
Measuring & Installation
Roller shades rely on accurate measurements for an even light gap and a straight roll. Our team measures every window, recommends inside or outside mounting and installs each shade, including motor setup and pairing. Apollo custom-fabricates shades in Brooklyn and installs throughout New York City.
