These shades are offered on tube sizes 1.25", 1.5", 2" and covering a range of widths up to 145.25" We also utilize Rollease R8, R16 and R24 clutches which provide various lifting capacities. All of our shades come with optional upgrades to an External Hem Bar, Choice of Chain/Clutch Color, Spring Assisted lift mechanisms and aluminum fascia panels. Unlike some of our shade competitors we provide lots of info on your shade purchase. We have many options that may not be advertised.

    Our chain and clutch driven shades are also built so that they can be converted to a Motorized Roller Shade with the least amount of effort and expense. If you are planning on converting your manually operated clutch and chain driven shade in the future please contact us so we can inform you on what the requirements might be to convert the shades in the future. 1-877-271-5398 or sales@av-outlet.com
