Residential Roller Blinds
Roller shades made for your home, manual or motorised, specified at the moment that matters.
You are mid-renovation. The carpentry is locked. The lighting is done. Your shading is the last decision before the ceiling closes, and it is the one your contractor cannot redo cheaply later. We measure it, install it, and stand behind it, on the schedule your ID actually keeps.
Trusted, Loved And Installed By
Manual on one window. Motorised on the next.
Some windows want a chain. Others want a schedule. The New Way Standard Roller line covers both, with the same fabric library, the same 5-year warranty, and the same measured-and-installed promise. Specify manual today, add a motor on a future window, never refabricate the shade. Choose room by room, not platform by platform.

Manual.
Chain or cordless spring. Child-safe by default. The dealer-favourite workhorse. Best for bedrooms, living rooms, and studies that want simple, reliable control.
Motorised.
Battery, hardwired, or solar trickle. Schedules, scenes, and a 35 dBA quiet motor. Best for nurseries, primary bedrooms, and the rooms your routine actually depends on.
Manual is the default, not the downgrade.
Manual is the default, not the downgrade. Chain or cordless spring, fabricated to the same standard as our Lutron tier, with the full New Way fabric library and the 5-year warranty. The blackout build (side channels, top back cover, sill angles) bolts on if you need true darkness without an app or a hub.

Cordless spring.
Child-safe by removing the chain entirely. The cleanest choice for nurseries and play rooms.
Upgrade to a motor later.
We size the tube and bracket today to carry the motor tomorrow. Add the battery motor at retrofit without refabricating the shade.
Same warranty, same fabric range.
Standard Roller is a line, not a tier. The 5-year New Way warranty covers every configuration.
Motorised for the rooms your routine depends on.
Motorised is for the rooms where your routine cannot afford a forgotten window. Bedrooms, nurseries, the wall of glass that turns into an oven by 3pm. Battery, hardwired, or solar trickle. The motor moves the bottom bar at 91.4 mm per second and stops within 3 mm of its programmed position, so the room hits the same look every time.

Privacy without darkness.
Sheer outside, blackout inside, both motorised. Match the moment, not the window.
UV protection for the interior.
Up to 99% UV blocked depending on fabric. Your timber floor and your sofa fade slower.
Cooler glass, lighter HVAC load.
Documented up to 30% cooling savings on commercial fitouts. Residential gains depend on orientation and fabric choice.
Custom-fabricated to your windows, not pulled off a shelf.
Roller shades are custom-fabricated to your windows, not pulled off a shelf. We measure your reveal, your obstructions, and your sightlines before the bracket goes near a screw. Five tube sizes cover up to 6.0 m wide and 12.0 m tall, with the right tube selected for the span.

Reveal-fix or face-fix.
Reveal-fix maximises view. Face-fix is required for the true blackout build, because side channels need clearance.
Multi-bay alignment within 3 mm.
Coupled drives keep bottom bars matched across a continuous facade.
Service-friendly fascia.
Removable, so a motor swap in year 7 does not damage the ceiling.
Right tube for the span.
42 mm for under 3.2 m wide. 90 mm for the wall of glass at 6.0 m wide.
Honest answers about HomeKit, Alexa, and Google.

Specifications for Residential Roller Blinds
What materials are Roller Blinds made from?
New Way roller blinds are custom-fabricated from five fabric types: blackout, dim-out, sunscreen, light-filtering, and sheer. Brackets are powder-coated aluminium, the bottom bar is weighted aluminium, and every fabric in the 2026 library carries GREENGUARD, OEKO-TEX, and REACH certifications.
Homeowners choosing different fabrics by room: bedroom blackout, study sunscreen, living-room sheer, all from one library so the shades stay visually consistent across reorders.
Five fabric types across one library.
The New Way library includes blackout, dim-out, sunscreen, light-filtering, and sheer fabrics. Order a bedroom blackout in 2026 and add a matching shade two years later from the same library, and you get the same shade because the library uses a single dye batch across reorders.
Certified by GREENGUARD, OEKO-TEX, and REACH. Every fabric in the 2026 library carries three certifications.
GREENGUARD covers low-VOC indoor air quality. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 confirms the textile is free of harmful chemicals. REACH compliance meets European chemical safety rules. PVC-free and low-VOC options are available across the range.
Powder-coated aluminium hardware.
Brackets and cassettes are powder-coated aluminium in colours that match the fabric or the ceiling. The aluminium roller tube holds the fabric and the chain or motor mechanism. Tube sizes range from 42 mm to 90 mm depending on the window width.
Heat-sealed edges.
Fabric edges are sealed by heat to prevent curling in tropical humidity, keeping the side line crisp over years of use. Bound edges are an upgrade option where the binding adds a tailored finish.
How does the blackout build deliver sleep-quality darkness?
New Way roller blinds achieve true blackout in bedrooms when specified with three parts together: side channels (in 1.5, 2.5, or 3.5 inches), a top back cover, and sill angles. The build seals the top, side, and bottom edges where blackout fabric alone leaves a small gap (about 19 mm / 0.75 inches) for light to slip through.
Homeowners with bedrooms, nurseries, or media rooms where light leaking around the edges currently wakes babies, cuts naps short, or washes out the TV screen.
Side channels seal the sides.
Side channels are aluminium tracks with a soft inner lining, fitted along both vertical edges of the window. They come in three widths (1.5 in / 38 mm, 2.5 in / 64 mm, 3.5 in / 89 mm). Wider channels handle deeper window recesses and stricter blackout requirements.
Top back cover seals the roll.
A top back cover sits above the roller and closes the gap where light otherwise spills over the top of the shade into the room. Without it, sunrise lights up a band across the top of the window even with blackout fabric in place.
Sill angles seal the bottom.
Sill angles are aluminium pieces fitted between the bottom bar of the shade and the windowsill. They close the small gap at the bottom where a slim line of sunrise light otherwise cuts across the floor in east or west-facing bedrooms.
Dual layer adds daytime softness.
A dual-shade setup runs two layers of fabric on one window, typically a sheer for daytime softness and a blackout for sleep. Both layers are motorised, so switching from soft daylight to total darkness is one scene on your remote or app.
Standard install keeps a 19 mm side gap.
Without the full blackout build, a standard installation leaves about 19 mm (0.75 in) of light coming in along the sides where the fabric does not quite reach the bracket. The blackout build is the only way to seal this gap reliably.
How big a window can a New Way roller blind cover?
New Way roller blinds cover windows up to 6.0 m wide and 12.0 m tall on a single shade, with the right roller tube size (42 mm, 52 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, or 90 mm) selected during the site measurement. For continuous spans, one motor can power up to 6 connected panels.
Homeowners with west-facing walls of glass, large landed-home windows, hospitality spaces, and any opening too wide for a single 3.2 m manual shade.
Roller tube size scales with width.
Five roller tube sizes cover the residential and light-commercial range. The 42 mm tube handles openings up to 3.2 m wide. The 52 mm tube goes to 3.6 m. The 70 mm tube goes to 4.5 m. The 90 mm tube handles up to 6.0 m, suitable for a full wall of glass.
Maximum height up to 12.0 m.
The maximum shade height reaches 12.0 m depending on the tube size and fabric weight chosen. The site measurement confirms the right tube against your fabric and your window.
One motor for up to 6 connected panels.
A single motor can power up to 6 connected panels along a continuous facade, with a small light gap (about 38 mm / 1.5 in) between panels. Connecting panels to one motor reduces the number of motors, wires, and power supplies on large openings.
Bottom bars stay level after install.
If movement settles unevenly after months of use, bottom bars can be re-aligned through small screws on the coupling hub. New Way commissions the alignment at handover and revisits it under the 5-year warranty.
How do motorised roller blinds work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?
New Way motorised roller blinds work with Apple HomeKit (through the Aqara hub) and with Amazon Alexa and Google Home directly. Voice control, schedules, and sunrise / sunset triggers run across all three platforms. New Way is a certified authorised fabricator for Somfy, Lutron, Kepta, and Aqara motor brands as of 2026.
Homeowners with mixed smart-home devices (Apple, Amazon, Google) who want one routine that runs across all of them.
Three platforms, one routine.
Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home all run the same scenes on a New Way motorised shade. HomeKit connects through the Aqara hub, which we include and configure at the install. Alexa and Google Home connect directly, no extra hub needed.
Motor torque sized for the job.
Indoor motors deliver up to 6 Nm of torque, enough for residential and commercial indoor shades. Outdoor motors carry up to 20 Nm for wind-exposed applications. The site measurement matches the motor to your fabric and your window.
Quiet motor at 35 dBA.
Indoor motors run at 35 dBA or lower, measured one metre (about 3 ft) from the motor. That sits below the sound level of a quiet library. Nurseries, primary bedrooms, and home offices stay undisturbed when the shade moves.
The shade stops where you set it.
Motors stop within 3 mm (about 0.125 in) of programmed open, close, and preset positions. The bottom bar moves at 91.4 mm/s, fast enough to feel responsive without feeling rushed. Across multiple shades, bottom bars hold within 3 mm of each other when stopped or moving.
Built by a certified motor brand fabricator.
New Way is a certified authorised fabricator for Somfy, Lutron, Kepta, and Aqara, the four motor brands that ship on residential roller blinds. Warranty claims come back to New Way directly, not to a third-party seller you cannot reach when the motor needs service.
How are New Way roller blinds installed and aligned?
New Way roller blinds install inside the window reveal (reveal-fix) or on the wall above the reveal (face-fix), with a cassette or open headrail closing the top. The New Way installation team holds bottom bars within 3 mm of each other across multiple shades on the same wall.
Homeowners mid-renovation locking ceiling and wall cavities, large rooms with multi-bay windows needing consistent sightlines, and projects needing service access for future motor swaps.
Reveal-fix vs face-fix.
Reveal-fix mounts the shade inside the window reveal, maximising your view and lining up with the wall. Face-fix mounts the shade on the wall above the reveal. Face-fix is required for the full blackout build, because the side channels need clearance outside the reveal.
Multiple shades, level lines.
When a wall has several shades next to each other, the installation team keeps the bottom bars within 3 mm of each other when the shades are stopped or moving. If lines settle unevenly after months of use, the alignment can be adjusted through small screws on the coupling hub.
Service-friendly fascia.
The fascia or cassette that closes the top of the shade is removable. A motor swap in year 7 does not require touching the ceiling or the millwork around the window. This protects the work your contractor put into the room.
Bottom bar matches the fabric weight.
Three bottom bar styles match different fabrics and finishes: exposed (the slim style for lighter fabrics), sealed (the cleaner profile for blackout fabrics), and architectural (the design-led option). A slim weighted bottom bar keeps the bottom line tailored without a chunky look.
What warranty and after-sales support come with Roller Blinds?
Warranty coverage
Roller Blinds are backed by a 5-year warranty that supports long-term confidence in materials and mechanisms, providing risk mitigation for premium buyers; better for homeowners who value dependable coverage.
Professional installation
Roller Blinds can be professionally surveyed and installed to ensure millimeter-accurate fit and clean finishes, reducing the risk of improper installation and rework; best for buyers who want “right the first time.”
Service responsiveness
Roller Blinds include access to dedicated support for commissioning, adjustments, and spare parts, helping minimize downtime if maintenance is needed; better for families and property managers who require timely assistance.
Lead-time coordination
Roller Blinds offer clear lead-time communication and coordination with trades (AV, electrical, millwork), keeping schedules predictable in new builds and renovations; best for design teams managing multi-trade timelines.
New Way roller blinds are custom-fabricated from five fabric types: blackout, dim-out, sunscreen, light-filtering, and sheer. Brackets are powder-coated aluminium, the bottom bar is weighted aluminium, and every fabric in the 2026 library carries GREENGUARD, OEKO-TEX, and REACH certifications.

Top back cover seals the roll.
A top back cover sits above the roller and closes the gap where light otherwise spills over the top of the shade into the room. Without it, sunrise lights up a band across the top of the window even with blackout fabric in place.
Sill angles seal the bottom.
Sill angles are aluminium pieces fitted between the bottom bar of the shade and the windowsill. They close the small gap at the bottom where a slim line of sunrise light otherwise cuts across the floor in east or west-facing bedrooms.
Dual layer adds daytime softness.
A dual-shade setup runs two layers of fabric on one window, typically a sheer for daytime softness and a blackout for sleep. Both layers are motorised, so switching from soft daylight to total darkness is one scene on your remote or app.

New Way roller blinds cover windows up to 6.0 m wide and 12.0 m tall on a single shade, with the right roller tube size (42 mm, 52 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, or 90 mm) selected during the site measurement. For continuous spans, one motor can power up to 6 connected panels.
Homeowners with west-facing walls of glass, large landed-home windows, hospitality spaces, and any opening too wide for a single 3.2 m manual shade.
Roller tube size scales with width.
Five roller tube sizes cover the residential and light-commercial range. The 42 mm tube handles openings up to 3.2 m wide. The 52 mm tube goes to 3.6 m. The 70 mm tube goes to 4.5 m. The 90 mm tube handles up to 6.0 m, suitable for a full wall of glass.
Maximum height up to 12.0 m.
The maximum shade height reaches 12.0 m depending on the tube size and fabric weight chosen. The site measurement confirms the right tube against your fabric and your window.
One motor for up to 6 connected panels.
A single motor can power up to 6 connected panels along a continuous facade, with a small light gap (about 38 mm / 1.5 in) between panels. Connecting panels to one motor reduces the number of motors, wires, and power supplies on large openings.
Bottom bars stay level after install.
If movement settles unevenly after months of use, bottom bars can be re-aligned through small screws on the coupling hub. New Way commissions the alignment at handover and revisits it under the 5-year warranty.

Indoor motors deliver up to 6 Nm of torque, enough for residential and commercial indoor shades. Outdoor motors carry up to 20 Nm for wind-exposed applications. The site measurement matches the motor to your fabric and your window.
Quiet motor at 35 dBA.
Indoor motors run at 35 dBA or lower, measured one metre (about 3 ft) from the motor. That sits below the sound level of a quiet library. Nurseries, primary bedrooms, and home offices stay undisturbed when the shade moves.
The shade stops where you set it.
Motors stop within 3 mm (about 0.125 in) of programmed open, close, and preset positions. The bottom bar moves at 91.4 mm/s, fast enough to feel responsive without feeling rushed. Across multiple shades, bottom bars hold within 3 mm of each other when stopped or moving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-Sales
Are New Way roller blinds suitable for tropical Malaysian and Singaporean homes?
New Way roller blinds are custom-fabricated for tropical climates, with sunscreen and dim-out fabrics tuned for high glare and humidity. The range supports west-facing glass through light-reflective weaves that lower perceived heat, and the format-level GREENGUARD and OEKO-TEX fabric certifications meet low-VOC indoor air quality requirements. Manual and motorised configurations share the same New Way fabric library, so a single specification can run from bedroom to living room without dye-lot variation across reorders. Side channels and a top back cover are available for true blackout in primary bedrooms and nurseries. The 5-year New Way warranty covers every configuration sold under this line. Measurement, fabrication, and installation are handled by New Way directly across Klang Valley and Singapore offices.
What is the difference between manual and motorised roller blinds for residential use?
Manual roller blinds use a bead chain or a cordless spring mechanism, while motorised roller blinds use a battery, hardwired, or solar-trickle drive controlled by a remote, app, schedule, or smart-home scene. Manual is the dealer-favourite workhorse: chain-driven, child-safe in the cordless spring configuration, and the default specification for living rooms, studies, and standard bedrooms. Motorised is suited to nurseries, primary bedrooms, large glazing, and rooms whose routines depend on the shade reaching the right position at the right time. Both configurations share the same New Way fabric library, the same blackout build (side channels, top back cover, sill angles), and the same 5-year warranty. The tube and bracket carry both load profiles, so a manual configuration today can be upgraded to a battery motor later without refabricating the shade.
How do New Way roller blinds compare to marketplace kits from Shopee or Lazada?
New Way roller blinds are measured, fabricated, and installed by a single New Way team, with a 5-year warranty and a named after-sales contact. Marketplace kits arrive in flat-packed boxes from third-party sellers and require self-measurement, self-installation, and self-troubleshooting at the time of any motor or fabric fault. The hardware tier on New Way’s branded motor configurations (Somfy, Lutron, Kepta, Aqara) matches what curtain dealers across Malaysia and Singapore install in mid-range to upper-tier homes, and New Way is a certified authorized fabricator for all four motor brands. Marketplace listings cannot offer the same after-sales path because the seller is a different entity from the fabricator. As of 2026, the after-sales contact and the 5-year warranty are the two structural differences buyers should weigh before comparing on price alone.
Are motorised roller blinds better than curtains for blackout sleep?
New Way motorised roller blinds outperform curtains on blackout sleep when the system is specified with side channels, a top back cover, and sill angles, because the build seals the three edges where curtains typically leak light. Curtains can soften a room and absorb some noise, but most curtain rods sit forward of the window with side and top gaps that let a band of sunrise light through. Motorised roller blinds installed with the full blackout build hold a sleep-quality dark from bedtime to wake-up, and schedules run without anyone reaching for a pull. As of 2026, the typical setup for primary bedrooms in tropical Malaysia pairs a motorised blackout roller blind with a sheer curtain in front for daytime softness.
Should a household specify manual or motorised roller blinds first?
Households should specify motorised roller blinds first in rooms where the daily routine depends on the shade reaching the right position at the right time, and specify manual roller blinds in rooms where simple, reliable manual control is sufficient. Primary bedrooms, nurseries, and large glazing where the homeowner cannot consistently reach or remember to operate the shade benefit from motorisation. Studies, living rooms, and standard bedrooms where the shade operates once or twice daily perform well as manual configurations on the New Way Standard Roller line. The same fabric library, blackout build, and 5-year warranty apply to both. The tube and bracket are sized at the site measurement to carry the motor load, so a manual configuration today can accept a battery motor at retrofit without refabricating the shade.
Can manual roller blinds be upgraded to motorised later?
New Way Standard Roller manual roller blinds can be upgraded to motorised configurations at retrofit, provided the tube and bracket were sized at the original site measurement to carry the motor load. As of 2026, the upgrade requires a battery motor matched to the tube diameter (one of 42 mm, 52 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, or 90 mm), and may also require a hub or bridge depending on the smart-home ecosystem: an Aqara hub for HomeKit, with direct Alexa and Google Home support on the motor’s native bridge. The fabric and hembar are retained, so the shade itself does not need to be refabricated. New Way recommends discussing future motorisation at the original site measurement, even if the initial order is manual, so the bracket and tube spec future-proofs the install.
Specifications
What is the maximum window size New Way roller blinds can cover?
New Way roller blinds support up to 6.0 m wide and 12.0 m tall, with the maximum width tied to tube selection. Tube diameters of 42 mm, 52 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, and 90 mm cover the range, with 42 mm rated to 3.2 m wide, 52 mm to 3.6 m wide, 70 mm to 4.5 m wide, and 90 mm to 6.0 m wide. Coupled-drive configurations can carry up to 6 panels powered by a single motor, with a minimum 1.5 in (38 mm) light gap between coupled panels. Bottom-bar alignment is held within 0.125 in (3 mm) across coupled panels when stopped or moving. Tube selection is confirmed at the site measurement, based on the actual span and the fabric specification.
Materials
How are roller-shade fabrics chosen by room?
New Way’s roller-shade fabric library covers five families: blackout, dim-out, sunscreen, light-filtering, and sheer. Blackout fabrics with side channels suit primary bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms where sleep darkness is required. Sunscreen fabrics, with openness factors tuned to the window’s orientation, suit studies, home offices, and living rooms with west-facing glass where glare control is the brief. Light-filtering and sheer fabrics suit dining rooms, foyers, and any space where daytime softness and outward visibility are valued over privacy. Dim-out fabrics sit between blackout and light-filtering and suit guest bedrooms or studies that need glare control without total darkness. Every fabric in the 2026 New Way library carries GREENGUARD and OEKO-TEX certification, with PVC-free and low-VOC options across the range.
Performance
How quiet are New Way motorised roller blinds?
New Way motorised roller blinds operate at 35 dBA or lower when measured 3 ft (1 m) from the motor, as a published specification across the supported indoor motor configurations. The bottom bar moves at 3.6 in/s (91.4 mm/s) and stops within 0.125 in (3 mm) of programmed open, close, and preset positions. The 35 dBA figure sits below the typical noise level of a quiet library and is suitable for nurseries, primary bedrooms, and home offices where motor noise would otherwise interrupt sleep or focused work. Outdoor motor configurations carry higher torque (up to 20 Nm versus 6 Nm indoor) for wind-loaded applications, but the indoor range stays within the 35 dBA published threshold.
How should bedrooms and nurseries be specified for true blackout?
True blackout on a New Way roller-shade configuration requires three components specified together: side channels (available in 1.5 in / 38 mm, 2.5 in / 64 mm, or 3.5 in / 89 mm widths), a top back cover, and sill angles. Blackout fabric alone leaves a nominal 0.75 in (19 mm) bracket-to-fabric side light gap on a standard symmetrical install, so the side channels carry the load-bearing role for sleep-quality darkness. Top back covers close the gap where light otherwise spills over the roll, and sill angles close the gap between the hembar and the window sill. The blackout build is sized during the New Way site measurement and is required for nurseries, primary bedrooms, and media rooms. Dual configurations layer a sheer for daytime softness and a blackout for sleep on the same window.
What is the recommended schedule for motorised roller blinds in a family home?
New Way recommends three baseline schedules for motorised roller blinds in family homes: a daytime privacy or sunscreen position from sunrise to 6 pm, a blackout-down position from 1 pm to 3 pm for nap windows, and a bedroom blackout-down position from 9 pm or earlier. A sunrise-triggered open at 7 am gives families a gentler wake than a sudden sun strike on west or south orientations. Schedules and scenes are configured in the motor’s bridge app (Aqara, Somfy, Lutron, or Kepta) and run independently of voice control, so the routine continues even if the home Wi-Fi is briefly offline. New Way’s installation team configures these baseline scenes during commissioning and adjusts them with the homeowner after the first week of use.
Smart Integration
Do New Way motorised roller blinds work with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?
New Way motorised roller blinds integrate with Apple HomeKit through the Aqara hub bridge, and with Amazon Alexa and Google Home directly via the motor’s native bridge or hub. The system is not HomeKit-native on this tier, meaning Siri voice control runs through the Aqara hub rather than directly against the motor. Once the hub is installed, the same scenes fire across Siri, Alexa, and Google without conflict. Schedules, scenes, sunrise and sunset triggers, and grouped multi-window control are supported on all three platforms. New Way installs and commissions the hub during the same site visit as the shade install, so smart-home pairing is configured before the team leaves. Supported motor brands as of 2026 include Somfy, Lutron, Kepta, and Aqara, all four under New Way certified-fabricator status.
Warranty
What does the New Way 5-year warranty cover?
The New Way 5-year warranty covers the roller-shade fabric, hardware, mechanism, and motor (where specified) for material and workmanship faults across every configuration sold under this line. As a certified authorized fabricator for Somfy, Lutron, Kepta, and Aqara, New Way commissions and supports the motor brands directly, so warranty claims do not route through a third-party seller. The warranty period begins on the install date recorded by the New Way team and is supported by Klang Valley and Singapore offices with stocked spares and dedicated service contacts. Wear-and-tear from misuse, unapproved modifications, or environmental damage outside the product’s rated operating conditions is not covered. As of 2026, the warranty applies to manual, cordless spring, and motorised configurations equally.
Buying Journey
How long does the New Way measurement-to-install process take?
The New Way measurement-to-install timeline begins with a site visit booked typically within 5 to 7 business days of enquiry, followed by a written quote within 1 business day of the site visit. Fabrication time depends on fabric availability and configuration: stocked fabrics with surface-mount installs ship faster than custom palettes, fire-rated specifications, or concealed recess kits with the full blackout build. Coupled-drive configurations and large glazing over 4.5 m wide may extend the timeline because of tube and bracket fabrication. Best-in-class lead time across the New Way in-house Standard Roller line is the procurement advantage for time-sensitive renovations; specific dates are confirmed at quotation. Coordination with the home’s electrical, AV, and millwork contractors happens at the same site visit.
Why should I book a New Way site measurement instead of measuring my windows myself?
Booking a New Way site measurement reduces the risk of light leaks, alignment errors, and rework on roller blinds, because the measurement confirms the actual depth of your window reveal, any obstructions, and the blackout build required for bedrooms and nurseries. A self-measured order depends entirely on how accurately you read your tape, and a standard installation already leaves about 19 mm (0.75 in) of light coming in along the sides between the bracket and the fabric. Small errors widen that gap into visible light lines at the edges. New Way’s measurement also confirms which tube size fits your window (one of 42, 52, 70, 80, 90 mm), and sizes the tube and bracket so you can add a motor later without rebuilding the shade. As of 2026, the measurement appointment is included with every quote and runs typically within 5 to 7 business days of enquiry.
