Utilize Daylight When You Wish

We respond emotionally to daylight, and any room bathed in its warmth has an uplifting quality. Colors become truer and the textures within the décor are revealed. What if you could utilize daylight to your advantage? The versatility of motorized shades allows homeowners to harness natural sunlight when they wish and block it from entering their home when they don’t. You can reduce sunlight glare on screens when you’re watching TV with the family or checking emails on your laptop. Solar shades help to set the right mood in each room of your home by gently filtering and diffusing light and blocking UV rays.

For those rooms in your home that have large floor to ceiling windows, motorized shades are an ideal solution. At the push of a button, you can easily raise or lower shades allowing the right amount of light into the room, create privacy or reveal a stunning view.

Harness the Sun’s Heat and Energy throughout Your Home

As much as 50% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows. Rather than adjusting the thermostat, why not invest in energy-saving window treatments? Shades are an excellent shield against solar heat. By blocking out unwanted sunlight during hot summer months, you’ll not only keep your home cooler, but also help lower utility costs. The same shades provide effective insulation, offering increased protection against heat loss during colder months. For your outdoor spaces, exterior solar shades can be installed on porches and patios to protect you and your family from the sun’s heat and harmful UV rays. Energy-saving shades help to create a comfortable environment all the while cutting heating and cooling costs.

Add Complementary Style to Any Room

With a variety of styles, colors and fabrics to choose from, you’re sure to find shades that will complement both the furniture and color scheme of the room. Shades also come in a wide range of openness levels, allowing you to maintain the view while blocking out unwanted light. The higher the openness factor and the darker the fabric, the clearer your view will be.
