Often described as the ultimate in window covering elegance, the product category of “shades” has been the fastest growing segment in recent history. “Shades” are typically identified by a cellular or pleated structure and are known for bringing classic beauty and sophistication to rooms throughout a home or office. They have the power to enlighten any space with a warm luminous glow and provide superior energy efficiency compared to all other types of window coverings. Kitchen nooks or interior offices can be private yet bright with the use of the “top down / bottom up” feature that is available on many product lines. Some manufacturers offer “day / night” or blackout shades, which perform exceptionally well in boardrooms or even bedrooms regardless of your sleep schedule.
Shades are designed to block harmful UV rays from the sun and therefore are an ideal solution for protecting artwork, fabrics, floors, and other investments from fading and accelerated breakdown. Overall, the possibilities are endless with all the new product variations and innovative control systems available today.
