 Thank you for your support of our Fabric Roman Shade Collection. We've made some specification changes to motorized shades from this collection. Installation Bracket We've improved the installation bracket for motorized shades. All shades will now use the 1 3/4" installation bracket. This will reduce the flush mounting depth for motorized shades to 3". It will also reduce the gap between the wall and the back of the shade for outside mount applications. AC Motor Minimum The AC motor now has a minimum width of 22 1/8". This change has been updated in our ordering system.

Woven Wood Shades, Natural Shades, and Fabric Roman Shades According to the new standard, we will not be able to ship Woven Wood Shades, Natural Shades, and Fabric Roman Shades with cord locks after June 1st. To make sure we are in full compliance with the new standard, we will stop taking new orders for cord lock shades starting April 15, 2024. Our product guides have been revised to include cordless as the base control option for these programs. Updated product guides can be downloaded on the Pro Design website by following the link below. After April 15, 2024, we will not be able to remake malfunctioning shades with cord locks, and we will offer to either repair these shades or to replace them with cordless or clutch control. We will work with you on a case-by-case basis to determine the best outcome for your customer. All Collections We will also be introducing a new tensioner for clutch control in all our shade collections, as our current tensioner is not compliant with the new standard.

About the CollectionThe Natural Roller Shade Collection combines the simplicity of a roller shade with the beauty and texture of a natural woven fabric. When lowered, enjoy the shade's beautiful woven textures. When raised, shades stack clear of the window, allowing a full view to the outside. The collection offers a natural alternative to traditional roller shades. Natural Roller Shade fabric has more texture and pattern when the shade is installed with light coming through than you might find with a traditional roller shade. View all the fabrics available in the Natural Roller Shade Collection by visiting the collection gallery. 2024 UpdateThe 2024 collection will be available starting January 1 and includes new styles and options:
Sample Book UpdatesShades installed to a dual bracket can have a light-filtering or room-darkening back fabric. We have 17 back fabric options, which are available in a complimentary sample book update pack. Request your update pack at the link below. >> Request Update Pack Product GuideFind full details on the new options in the collection's 2024 product guide. Product guides can be downloaded in the vendor resources section of the Pro Design website. >> Login to Vendor Resources >> Register for Access to Vendor Resources Ordering GuideWith the new options available, we recommend using the steps below to place your order. Step 1: Determine Single or Double Shades (privacy and light control) Single shades have only the Natural Roller fabric panel and are only available in light-filtering opacities. They may not be ideal for windows where privacy is required. Double shades come with a dual bracket and will have the Natural Roller fabric panel on the front and a light-filtering or room-darkening fabric on the back. More mounting depth is required and top treatment options are limited. Step 2: Select Shade Style and Control Type Shade styles and control types vary for single and double shades.
*Cordless Control for open roll shades will be available January 15, 2024. This includes cordless for the standard bracket, decorative metal bracket, and dual bracket.
