You may be familiar with roller shades. You might have had them on the windows of your childhood home. But they’ve come a long way and are not just for privacy or to keep a room dark. Today’s Motorized Roller Shades have taken the technology of UV protection and added it to the roller shade. The result is a practical, yet versatile shade for the windows of your home or office.

Indoor Roller Shades
Retractable window screens and shades add style to any decor and they’re an effective way to keep the sun out, cut down glare and heat, and protect your furniture, curtains and carpets from the rays that can cause fading. Motorized roller shades are the perfect way to enjoy all the good things about the sun and filter out all of the bad. They even add privacy as they make seeing in from outside difficult.

For the Office
Every company looks for ways to cut costs and save money. One of the easiest ways to save on energy bills is to install solar shades. Keeping the sun’s radiant heat out will lower the indoor temperature up to 20 degrees and make your air conditioning unit work a lot less. Some other benefits of installing this type of shade include reducing glare. If you think that’s not a big deal, think about how hard it is to work with sun glare on your computer screen, or projection screens. Reducing glare makes a big difference in the comfort and the productivity of employees.

Options
When choosing shades, you have lots of options. There are so many fabric colors, textures and shading densities to choose from. You can even choose a heavy duty shade for daily use in a busy environment. But whatever choices you make, know that they will enhance the look of your home or office with their color and design. They’ll reduce the damaging UV rays that can fade your furniture and carpeting. They’ll increase your privacy without blocking your view of the outdoors. They’ll cut down on the glare on your computers, mirrors and television screens. Finally, they will lower your energy bills and quickly pay for themselves by keeping the heat out.
