Room Darking Shades

Room-Darkening Systems

MechoSystems’ room-darkening shading systems can interface with lighting controls, A/V systems, home-automation systems, and 3rd-party controls. The systems include blackout shadecloths, room-darkening side and sill channels, and our light-seal hem bar. Optional DoubleShade® brackets allow for blackout and sunscreen shadecloths on one compact bracket. Room-darkening systems are available with manual and motorized shades.

 

Heavy-duty hardware

•Produced with high-quality, tough-wearing, and long-lasting materials and construction.
• Designed specifically for the contract, commercial institutional, and healthcare markets.
• Features a patented SnapLoc® spline for attaching the shade band to the tube.

 

Manual operation

•Operated by a patented assembly with a built-in offset chaindrive—which provides a neat, low-profile, and narrow-edge clearance.
• Designed to function with and without blackout side channels.

 

Electrical operation

•Offers both single- or multiple-switching to control motorized shades from any remote location.
•Provides the ability to operate oversized, inaccessible, and skylight shades with ease.
• Features single-switch operation for a variety of single banded and multi-banded configurations.

 

Extensive inventory of optional accessories

•Various pockets and pocket accessories in numerous configurations for recessed installation.
•SnapLoc fascia (valance) for exposed manual and motorized installations.
•SnapLoc blackout side and sill channels, eliminating exposed screws, buttons, and all visible means of fastening.

 

Almost limitless installation types

•Single shades: A typical single shade band with a single operator.
• Multi-banded shades: Two or more shade bands with one operator.
•Overlapping shades: An overlapping configuration where side channels are not desirable, such as when joined by silicon glazing.
