Inspired Roller Shade Collection We've made an improvement to motorized open roll shades from the Inspired Roller Shade Collection. The changes below do not apply to Natural Roller Shades. The idle end for motorized open roll shades now includes a locking tab, which prevents the release dial from rotating when the shade is in use, keeping the shade secure in the brackets. Motorized open roll shades ship with the tab in the locked position and will only need to be unlocked if the shade requires removal. The locking tab should remain in the locked position while the shade is installed and operated. This enhancement applies for open roll motorized roller shades with the standard or decorative metal brackets and with remote motor or Pro Wand control options. InstructionsSee the video below for a demonstration of the locking tab. >> Watch Locking Tab Demonstration For written instructions, download the PDF at the link below. >> Motorized, Open Roll Idle End Instructions If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Pro Team at 330.562.0023 or [email protected]. Note: Images below show the locking tab in red for demonstration purposes only. On finished shades, the locking tab is white.

Natural Roller Shades and Natural ShadesA new, quieter SHC DCRF motor will be introduced for Natural Roller Shade and Natural Shade products.

Our office will be closed Monday, May 25th for Memorial Day. We will resume with normal business hours Tuesday, May 26th. We hope you have a safe and relaxing holiday! We are excited to announce the refresh and relaunch of the Inspired Shades Natural Roller Shades collection with the addition of 29 new Room Darkening fabrics. These fabrics feature a black-out coating and cross over to existing light-filtering patterns in the collection.
This addition removes the need to use the dual bracket to achieve a room darkening effect, making the program easier to specify and sell. If you are currently selling this collection, you will receive a no-charge update pack containing the 29 new fabrics that can be added to your existing book. These will start shipping the week of May 18th and will be available to order from May 19th. For all other customers, complete new sample books, including the room-darkening fabrics, will be available from September 2026. We will make further announcements when the books are available. For questions or additional information, please contact the Pro Team at 330-562-0023 or via email at [email protected].  New fabrics for the Inspired Outdoor Shade collection are now available! In the updated collection, you will find 17 new fabrics, including 1% and 3% openness factors as well as 5% two-tone options. COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTSOutdoor Shades offer a simple, affordable solution for reducing unwanted glare in outdoor seating areas, patios, pergolas, and sun porches. Shades are operated by clutch and chain loop* or by crank handle. The crank handle can easily be removed and stored when not in use. *Clutch and chain are available for US only. >> View Collection Options >> View Installation Photos SAMPLE BOOKS & UPDATESAll preordered sample books and update packs have been shipped.

Sample books are in stock and ready to ship. >> Place New Book Orders (US) >> Place New Book Orders (CA)   We are adding the option for a 6-channel sliding panel track in our Roller Shade, Natural Shade, and Natural Roller Shade Sliding Panel programs. The 6-channel track is ideal for installations over 168" and up to 192" wide. This track option allows for narrower panel widths, creating a cleaner look and reducing stack-back when the panels are open. With this addition, our sliding panel systems can now be configured up to 6 panels one way or 10 panels split draw. The 6-channel track system will be available to order starting April 30, 2026 for all sliding panel collections including:

>> Download Product Guides On April 30, 2026, we will be launching new fabrics for our Outdoor Shade Collection. In the updated collection, you will find 17 new fabrics including 1% and 3% openness factors as well as 5% two-tone options. New Sample Books & UpdatesIf you've ordered a book and are waiting for it to arrive, your new book will include the full fabric assortment, including both existing fabrics and our new options. If you already have a book, complimentary update packs will be automatically provided to you. Update packs will include the new fabrics along with a new binder, allowing you to transfer your existing fabrics to the new binder. All sampling items will begin shipping next week, and tracking will be provided once shipped. Note: While motorized control was initially planned as part of this launch, we are fine-tuning that option to ensure it meets our performance standards. We’ll share the expected launch timing as soon as it’s available. As of April 8th, all Cordless Natural Roller Shades with a cassette top treatment will ship automatically with an attached hem clip. The clips are made of white, flexible plastic that keeps the hem bar securely in place during transit, preventing it from rolling back into the cassette. The clip must be removed before installation. See the video below for a demonstration of how to remove the hem clip. >> Watch Removal Video
