INSIDE SHADES

A high-performance “SilverScreen” shade from Insolroll is the most effective way to block the heat from the inside.  “SilverScreen” is a proven winner for solving the heat, glare, and UV damage with fabric in every color, unlike a standard solar screen where color influences performance.  Get in the Silver Sweet Spot with SilverScreen’s metalized solar screen fabric! Ideal for commercial and residential shades.

RON CARTER DESIGN TIP:  Blocking the sun before it enters the home cuts the heat gain by over 30%.  Additionally, with these matching cassettes, the color of the solar shade can blend into your home’s exterior.  It will barley be seen when not deployed to block the sun, UV rays and heat from entering you home.  These exterior solar shades are durable, have cables to guide them in place, and will last for years–despite the sun–they are tough!

OUTSIDE SOLAR SHADES

The best way to block the sun’s heat is an exterior shade before it hits the glass.

Our shades block the sun’s heat before it enters the interior is the most effective way to prevent heat gain.  This is especially important on West-facing windows.  They also keep rooms cool and we can even motorize shades.  They can come down during the heat of the day and rise automatically after the sun passes. This protects your furniture and floors while dramatically reducing air conditioning bills.

RON CARTER DESIGN TIP:  Roller shades are the fastest growing window treatment in America, and it’s easy to see why. Solar Shades offer clean visual lines, beautiful and functional fabrics, and the versatility to work in any home’s style.  They fit perfectly into a contemporary home with the commercial-quality solar-blocking capabilities and the newly updated fabric choices.  Many of our manufactures have newly updated color palates for 2018 as well.  These updates expand solar shade capabilities into the transitional interior and even the traditional home.  We like to place them inside the window casement and match the fabric to the home’s color scheme. 

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE CHOOSING THE SHADES

Like any other window treatment style, outdoor shades do come with a few special considerations.

  • Decide the best way to mount the shade.  We can mount them on the wall or ceiling, depending on your patio.
  • If your porch has columns, posts, or railings, we can recommend several options for installing shades over them or in between your architectural features.
  • Our consultant will explore various shade material options and privacy levels carefully. Some Western exposures require a more dense shade to increase comfort.  Other materials offer perks like extra airflow while others block more light.
  • Most homeowners pick a darker shade for comfort.  Dark shades provide a better view and block more heat.  We can recommend color options for the cover to match the home’s exterior. We also offer some woven textures and brighter colors that complement patio furniture.

Solar Shades are a must for West & South windows and we have the largest selection of them in Arkansas. www.madeintheshadeLR.com #sunsolutions #bestinlittlerock #lovelittlerock #amazingwindows #solarshades #rollershades #blockthesunnottheview #patioshades #madeintheshade
