SHADE POCKETS

RECESSED SHADE POCKETS (ESTIMATED $$$$ UPGRADE) Roller shade pockets allow single or dual roller shades to be completely recessed above the ceiling. The shade rollers, wiring, and brackets are completely hidden.

The size needed for a shade pocket depends entirely on the number of shades being used, and the size of the window being covered. For a single shade covering an average window, planning for a 5” x 5” pocket is a good place to start. Note shade pockets are not possible in all locations.

SOUND ISOLATION

SOUND ISOLATION WALL ASSEMBLY Sound isolation materials reduce the noise emitted from the space the noise is produced. A combination of products are commonly used to reduce the impact of home theater spaces, and to isolate bedrooms.

Note adding sound isolation material can increase the thickness of wall and ceiling assemblies, which can impact framing and rough-in materials.
