Romanzia uses a customer's own decorative fabric to make Romanzia Roller Shades. First, we custom fuse the decorative fabric to one of our own special linings. Then we cut it, sew it, and trim it to the customer's exact specifications. Finally, we fit it to the customer's choice of bead-chain clutch, spring roller, or motorized roller.


Standard Features Available Options


Scallops & Trim
See Scallop Designs for Customer's Fabric Roller Shades and Toppers photo gallery.

Shade hems are available in a variety of styles as pictured here. They can be finished with 1) trim supplied by the customer, 2) double-welt trim covered with the customer's fabric (an extra yard of fabric is needed to make double-welt trim - one yard may be enough to make trim for several shades or toppers), or 3) French Gimp trim (Romanzia maintains a stock of over 150 colors of French Gimp trim).

Clutch Rollers
 Our clutch roller mechanism (which is standard) allows the shade to be raised and lowered by pulling a side-mounted chain loop.

Clutch Rollers come with specially designed universal brackets that can be used for all types of mounting.



Clutch Roller Installation Instructions


Optional Spring Rollers
Romanzia uses the highest quality spring rollers available. Our spring mechanisms roll smoothly on ball bearings and are easy to stop and release. Romanzia uses all-metal roller tubes.

Spring rollers are available with your choice of Inside Brackets, Outside Brackets, Ceiling Brackets, or Footless Brackets (for inside mounts with shallow window casings).



Motorization
Heavy-duty 110-volt roller shade lift systems are available with a wide variety of hardwired switch and remote control options.

Maximum Roller Shade Width
Fabric Width = Maximum Roller Shade Width
We have found over the years that it is best to limit the size of our roller shades to the width of a customer's fabric - up to 54 inches wide.

Cleaning
When needed, Romanzia shades may be cleaned as they hang in place. Use a brush, vacuum cleaner, or dry cleaning process (if recommended by the face fabric manufacturer).

Measuring Notes
When measuring and ordering, please specify the shade width and window height to the nearest 1/8 inch. Also specify whether the width measure is Tip to Tip, Cloth, Jamb to Jamb, or Bracket to Bracket.

Also note whether the shade is to be mounted inside the window casing or outside the window casing.



Roller Shade Width Terms
Jamb to Jamb Width - indicates the exact inside dimension of the window casing that a shade must fit into.

Bracket to Bracket Width - indicates the distance between the outside edges of a pair of mounted outside brackets.

Tip to Tip Width - indicates the exact width of the shade including the pin ends. If a shade is mounted inside a window casing, the tip to tip width will be 1/8 inch less than the jamb to jamb measurement. If a shade is mounted outside a window casing, the tip to tip width will be exactly the same as the bracket to bracket measurement.

Cloth Width - is the exact width of the shade cloth. The cloth width of a shade is about 1 inch less than the tip to tip width.

Roller Shade Length Terms
Window Height - indicates the exact dimension of the window casing that a shade must fit into or the exact height of the window area that a shade must cover.

Finished Shade Length - is the window height plus-roll up (about 12 inches of extra length is wrapped around the roller).

Measuring Notes
When measuring and ordering, please specify toptreatment face width, length, and return depth (standard return depth is 3 1/2 inches). Also note whether the toptreatment is to be mounted inside the window casing or outside the window casing. When an inside mount is specified, our workroom will make the proper clearance deductions. When an outside mount is specified, the shade will be made the exact width and length ordered.

Shipping Your Fabric to Romanzia
Please be sure that our workroom can match your fabric to your order. Carefully describe your fabric on the order form and clearly identify the package when shipped. Always ship fabric on a roll to avoid wrinkling. See how to order.
