Product Information
Commercial grade blackout performance. Engineered for durability and high-traffic use, ProGrade Blackout Roller Shades are the go-to solution for property managers, commercial contractors, builders and trade professionals. Featuring a heavy-duty matte vinyl construction, these shades provide 99%+ light blockage while meeting the rigorous maintenance and safety standards required for rental properties and professional spaces.
Why Professionals Choose ProGrade Blackout:
- Commercial-Grade Durability: The moisture-resistant matte vinyl won't fray or tear, making it ideal for high-humidity areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
- Safety & Compliance: Our ProGrade fabric is flame retardant, providing peace of mind and meeting essential safety requirements for multi-family housing and commercial builds.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike fabric shades, these vinyl panels are non-porous and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth—essential for protecting your investment in rental units.
- Bulk Capability: Custom manufactured up to 156" wide, allowing for a consistent, professional look across everything from standard windows to oversized commercial glass.
Matte Vinyl Construction: Built to Last
ProGrade shades utilize a smooth, non-reflective vinyl surface that delivers total light control. This fabric is designed to stay flat and resist warping over time. Available in 6 versatile, neutral colors to suit any project: Beige, Black, Fawn, Grey, Linen, and White.
Contractor Tip: For large-scale projects or multi-unit builds, ProGrade offers the best ROI. It delivers the same blackout performance as higher-priced products but with a utility-focused construction that reduces replacement costs due to tenant and user wear and tear.

How to Measure & Install
Taking accurate measurements is straightforward. Let us walk you through the process!
To ensure a perfect fit, keep these essential pointers in mind:
- Always use a metal measuring tape for the best accuracy; fabric tapes can stretch and lead to errors.
- If your width measurement falls on a 1/16" or 1/32" mark, round down to the nearest 1/8".
- If your height measurement lands on a 1/16" or 1/32" increment, round up to the closest 1/8".
- Always consult the Product Specifications for the product you are measuring for. If you have questions, we will be happy to help!
Instructions for Inside Mounted Roller Shades
Depth Requirements: For an inside mount, you'll need to make sure the window frame is deep enough to accommodate the roller shade. Refer to the Product Specifications for minimum depths depending on your chosen valance option.
Measuring the width
- The width measurement is found by measuring the inside of the window frame in three locations: the top, middle, and bottom.
- Choose the smallest of these measurements.
- If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment, round down to the nearest 1/8".
- That's your width for your roller shades.
Measuring the height
- The height measurement is found by measuring the inside of the window frame in three locations: the left, center, and right.
- Choose the largest of these measurements.
- If you get a 1/16" or 1/32" increment, round up to the nearest 1/8".
- That's your height for your roller shades.
Do not make any deductions. The factory will make a small deduction to ensure the roller mechanism fits inside your window frame. If you would like more light coverage, an outside mount will minimize any potential light gaps.
Instructions for Outside Mounted Roller Shades
An outside mount sits outside of the window and the window frame. Because it is meant to cover the entire space of the window, you'll need to make some additions to the measurements to make sure you order the right size. Please follow the instructions below.
Measuring the width
- Measure the width of the area you want the shade to cover across the top.
- We suggest adding at least 4 inches to the width (2 inches per side) to minimize light gaps.
- That's your width for your roller shades.
Measuring the height
- Measure the height from where you want the headrail to sit down to the window sill or desired length.
- We suggest adding at least 4 inches to the height (2 inches top, 2 inches bottom).
- That's your height for your roller shades.
