No Valance: Open Roll

For a basic look or when you will have soft top treatments, no coverings are an economical option. Bracket covers are available to give a more finished look. You can't go wrong with either Rollease Acmeda's R-Series or Skyline Series clutch-component systems. Both series are industry leading and highly renowned for their quality and reliability. However, each series is different from the other, so choose the one that best suits your needs.

R-Series Open Roll

Open Roll shade If you're looking for a roller shade clutch that you can depend on, look no further than Rollease Acmeda's R-Series. For decades, the R-Series has been the gold standard for roller shade clutches, offering reliability, dependability, and strength. The R-Series contains an internal spring arrangement that offers a smooth pull by spreading the forces over the inner core. The bead chain pulley and the shade tube creates a mechanical advantage. This advantage allows the pull forces to raise a shade to be less than the true weight of the shade itself.

Skyline Open Roll

Open Roll shade The Skyline Series from Rollease Acmeda is the next step in dependable window shade technology. With a sleek, rounded profile and spring-loaded pin-end for easy installation, the Skyline is the perfect choice for a polished look. Skyline Series was made to increase the ease of installation and offer more versatility.
