Through evolution and technological advances, both in the development of new products and mass production capabilities, manufacturing companies have developed many products which make our lives more comfortable and productive. One of these products is the blackout roller shade used worldwide in order to control light and provide privacy. Through time, roller shades have become more complex by providing options once thought unimaginable and also providing a variety of applications through the use of a multitude of fabrics and materials.
To discuss blackout roller shades, let's start by explaining the most basic. Plain blackout shades are made using a multiple layer plastic material. Newer higher quality roller shades use material that is cored by a fiberglass sheet, which provides strength to the shade fabric. Older fabric was thinner and more tearable, so these new versions are better, straight from the start. However, there are several other enhancements to consider.

To make your blackout roller shade look great, start by changing to a chain operated control system. This system, invented in the past few years, allows users of roller shades to adjust them to the proper position without actually handling the shade fabric. This has a significant benefit for the long life preservation of the shades. Imaging that your roller shades will not longer have hand prints and tears along the bottom. All of this can be stopped when you can stop the touching of the actual shade.
The chain control systems for roller shades have a chain that hangs adjacent to the roller shades which is then use to manipulate the roller shads into the proper position as the user desires it. More than that, the chains that are used to control these systems may be color coordinated with many of the choices that one may select for a blackout roller shade. The plastic chains that are used for these shades are more decorative than their machined appearing cousins, the metal chains. Note, by the way, that plastic chains are usually stronger than the metal chains, often being able to withstand twice the weight and pull force compared to the typical metal chains in roller shades.
Next a blackout roller shade can be decorated by simply selecting from a range of colors that coordinates with your decor. Rather than a simple choice of one or two colors, the new collections of roller shades offer many options for blackout roller shade fabrics. The range of colors goes as far as to offer such colors as green and black, as well as the traditional white and off white. The ability to coordinate your roller shades to the remaining decor in your spaces can help them to be more attractive.
Some suppliers of roller shades shades offer the ability to coordinate and decorate your shades by using a valance. A valance, in window treatments, is a top covering for a product which conceals the controls system. Usually these are not needed for roller shades, as the control system, or at least the tube, is covered by the fabric. However, some consumers like to hide their roller shade controls and brackets, for these people, a valance may help solve this desire.
The appearance of a basic blackout roller shade can be significantly improved by the addition of decorative trims available in many colors and designs, deluxe bottom rails and color coordinated control chains/cords. These optional features will add a softer look and help in the overall appearance and coordination of the room being decorated.
In the end, we have come a long way from where we started. Basic, or plain roller shades, those which used a wooden slat bottom bar, and had only one color available, are no longer the norm. At this time, consumers have a wide range of options in the realm of decorative features for blackout roller shades. The collection of great colors, the new control systems, the potential for the use of a coordinated valance, as well as the sophisticated bottom bars are opening a world of decorative options for consumers.
