Frequently Asked Questions

What are roller shades, and how do they differ from other window coverings?

Roller shades are a sleek, minimal window covering made from a single piece of fabric that rolls up and down. Unlike slatted blinds or layered shades like zebra blinds, roller shades offer a smooth, modern look and excellent light control with fewer components.

Can roller shades be motorized or automated?

Yes, Coastal Blinds offers both motorized roller shades and fully automatic options. You can control them using a remote, smartphone app, or even integrate them with smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home for hands-free convenience.

Are roller shades good for blocking light or improving privacy?

Absolutely. We offer blackout roller shades designed to completely block outside light, making them perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or media rooms. You can also choose light-filtering fabrics that soften sunlight while maintaining daytime privacy.

What fabric choices and styles do roller shades come in?

Our roller shades come in a wide range of colors, textures, patterns, and fabric opacities — from sheer and solar to full blackout. Whether you're after a soft neutral or a bold statement, we’ll bring samples during your consultation so you can see them in your space.

How are roller shades installed, and will they fit my windows?

All roller shades are custom-measured and installed by our certified team — no guesswork, no uneven gaps. We tailor every set of shades to your exact window dimensions, whether you’re outfitting one window or an entire home.
