How to cover commercial storefront glass

Commercial storefront and office curtainwall is a roller-shade job. We spec black Green 2000 solar mesh — the same line we use on commercial offices — for glare control with view-through. Not vinyl, not faux wood, not residential décor rollers.

Common in: Dallas–Fort Worth · Houston · Austin · Denver · Phoenix

Quick answer

  • Black Green 2000 solar rollers are the storefront / office default
  • 1% or 3% openness — 3% typical, 1% for harsh west/south glass
  • Aluminum fascia so the tube disappears
  • Measure mullion-to-mullion; pair shades on wide bays
  • Commercial account for multi-site POs — see /blinds-for-offices
  • Ships nationwide from Texas
  • Custom cut to measured size
  • Mini, vertical & faux wood lines
  • Mount notes by material

Why storefront glass gets Green 2000

Street-facing and office glass needs monitor-friendly glare control without blocking the view. Black Green 2000 is the product we actually hang on commercial storefronts.

  • Public storefront and lobby glass: black Green 2000
  • Open offices and desks: same black Green 2000 solar mesh
  • Wide curtainwall: paired rollers at mullions
  • Conference rooms may add a separate blackout roller (not storefront fabric)
  • Skip vinyl mini and faux wood on storefront spans

Mounting by material & situation

Spec black Green 2000 rollers with fascia. Mount and measure from the commercial glass, not a residential stock size chart.

Black Green 2000 solar mesh is the commercial storefront and office default — cuts glare, keeps view-through, and reads as workplace hardware instead of residential décor.

  • Fascia mount on storefront / curtainwall

    Pro often used

    Measure mullion-to-mullion. Mount fascia above or on the header so the tube stays hidden. Confirm handle, door swing, and mullion clearance at full drop.

    Min depth:
    Fascia / face mount typical
    Hardware:
    Aluminum fascia brackets; fasteners into solid header / mullion structure
  • 1% vs 3% openness

    3% is the usual open-office / storefront default. Use 1% on west or south glass when monitors face the window or glare is severe.

  • Paired shades on wide bays

    Very wide storefront bays often need paired Green 2000 rollers meeting at a mullion rather than one impractical tube.

When to use professional install

We ship custom-cut blinds nationwide from Texas. In-home installation is available in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro only — outside DFW, send our measuring notes to your local installer.
