Roller shades can provide an unlimited range of solutions when it comes to controlling the interior climate of a space from the environment outside. Blackout shades can be used in offices and commercial spaces to darken rooms for video presentations or counseling areas where observation of the patient is required. Home theater productions are enhanced when lighting levels are at their lowest. Screen fabrics are used for privacy and the reduction of heat and glare from the sun, all the while fully maintaining an uncompromised view of the world outside. They can provide an ideal working environment for companies and be instrumental in lowering heat and cooling costs in a building. This is especially important when attempting to establish or increase LEEDS accreditation for a specific construction project. Acreage or homes located along green space are ideal situations for using screen shades to maximize view and provide privacy on demand.
Shades can also be used for other applications such as advertising posters and sales banners. Digital images can be transferred onto screen fabrics and can be rotated and reused on a cyclical basis. In the interior of an office space, shades can be used to divide showrooms or provide moderate levels of privacy between coworkers in an open work space environment.
Hardware systems for these shades include spring tension with options for speed controls or adjustable limit stops, chain operators, crank mechanisms, and motorized systems with programmable controls to facilitate any application.
