These are part of the material, not flaws, and no two shades look exactly alike. The crisp weave holds neat, defined folds, and the sheen changes softly as daylight moves across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill strong sun fade a silk Roman shade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilk is a natural fiber, and long hours of direct sun can fade or weaken it over time, especially in bright colors. A lining shields the silk from the sun and gives the shade more body. Cotton 100% white 117 gsm or White 90 gsm keep the room bright; Thermal Blackout 250 gsm, Blackout White 150 gsm and Blackout Coffee 180 gsm darken it.

Do not subtract anything: the factory deducts 3\/8 in from the headrail. Measure height from the top of the opening to the sill. The frame needs at least 2 in of depth (2 1\/2 in for motorized).

Corded lift uses a continuous cord loop on the left or right. Motorized lift uses a rechargeable motor with an optional remote, Wi-Fi hub and power supply; inside mounts need at least 2 1\/2 in of window depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring help: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/measuring-instruction-for-roman-shades-blinds\"\u003eHow to measure Roman shades\u003c\/a\u003e.
