roller shade

Pull-down window screen

A roller shade is a window covering consisting of a flat piece of fabric or vinyl mounted on a spring-loaded cylinder at the top of a window frame.

Pulling the shade down unrolls it to block light; releasing it allows it to roll back up.

Unlike blinds, which have slats, roller shades are a single continuous sheet: We installed blackout roller shades in the bedroom.
