However as any Architect will tell you, the primary challenge of utilizing the Dual Roller System is the size needed for the bracket itself. Since we are working with both a blackout and solar shade, the roller space required is double that of a standard system.

And with this perticular project in upstate NY, the client requested the Dual Shading System, with about half the space available (less then 3″). Below is our
