Abstract
Disclosed is a roman shade assembly () that utilizes lift bands () rather than lift cords. The shade () can be formed of textured materials or woven woods. The shade assembly includes lift bands () that attach to a rotatable member(s) () and can be extended or retracted within an architectural opening by rotating the member(s). The lift bands can be slidingly connected to the shade at multiple points along the vertical length of the shade. Accordingly, as the wide lift bands are extended or retracted, the attached shade is likewise extended or retracted to cover or uncover an architectural opening.
