Audio Video Term

Roller Shade

Roller Shade is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Roller Shade is a shade style where fabric rolls around a tube and moves up or down in a clean, minimal profile.

Example of Roller Shade

West-facing shades lower automatically in late afternoon to reduce glare on a television while preserving the room view earlier in the day. In that kind of Davis shade and window treatment project, the term Roller Shade would describe a shade style where fabric rolls around a tube and moves up or down in a clean, minimal profile. Davis would use that understanding to account for fabric selection, motor type, power or wiring, keypad and app control, and sun or glare schedules, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
