Solmere's fine herringbone weave gives the surface a subtle texture without a busy pattern, so it works in kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms alike. At about 275 gsm it is a mid-weight fabric with enough body for crisp plain folds and soft relaxed curves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan a Solmere shade block light for a bedroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with a blackout lining: Thermal Blackout 250 gsm, Blackout White 150 gsm or Blackout Coffee 180 gsm. Without a lining the light colors filter daylight softly. Some light can still show at the edges of an inside-mounted shade; an outside mount covers more of the frame.

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). Sizes run 16–98 in wide and 14–119 in high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose cordless, corded or motorized lift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCordless lift has no exposed cords: you move the shade by hand from the bottom rail, a common choice for nurseries and homes with pets. 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.
