-Our Sun Roller is a folding shade made exclusively with solar-screen fabric for the use of vertical windows. Lifting cords run from the bottom of the shade through a series of pulleys and cord guides (rings attached to the shade). The cords lift the shade from the bottom causing the shade to fold on it self as it rises. Structural battens running from side to side give the shade an “architectural” appearance. Both manual & motorized systems available.
-Our Track Shades are highly versatile folding shade systems used to cover horizontal, vertical, sloped and curved glass surfaces such as found in green houses, sloped windows, barrel-some glass, and skylight windows. In a folding shade system, the fabric folds like a Roman Shade,rather then rolling onto a tube as in Roll-Shade system. When the shade is open, there is an attractive stack which hands down and is visible,rather then a roll. Most of our track shades are made up of solar-screen fabric.
-Our Sky Roller Shade is a motorized roll shade system that is engineered for use in horizontal or sloped overhead windows such as skylights. Ideal for situations where they can be used to block the sun at certain times of the day,but then can be opened when light is needed. The operating cords are hidden inside the channels for a clean,unobstructed view. The side channels, in addition to hiding the operating cords provide a degree of light control. They are great for reducing heat, eat time privacy, reduce glare, reduce fading of carpet and furniture.
Understanding Fabrics
.Solar-Screen Fabric
Solar-screen fabrics are highly engineered for interior and exterior sun control. These fabrics are woven to filter the sun rather than block it out. A solar-screen fabric can stop enough of the sunlight to eliminate discomfort from heat, glare and damage to furnishings while still being able to see through the fabric to the outside. Available in a wide variety of colors and weaves.
.Decorative Fabrics
Decorative fabrics offer distinctive textures, colors and weaves in varying degrees of opacity. Decorative fabrics can help define the overall ambiance of your interior.SHEER FABRICS offer complete view-through. During the day, you can see out; at night, you can see in. PRIVACY FABRICS cast a soft glow of light during the day while allowing for complete privacy.
.Black Out Fabrics
Blackout fabrics prevent light from entering a room. They can create total privacy to the outside and a design element to the interior. These kinds of fabrics, combined with the right shade style and light control options, are useful for rooms in which video or slide show presentations are made or for any situation where a complete absence of light is desired.
Blackout fabrics are the most energy efficient fabrics.
