Why Solar Roller Shades are so Much Fun to Sell?

When a client wants solar roller shades for their home or business, we know it is going to be a fun call.  Why?  Because solar roller shades come with a real sense of mission and vision.  Consider the mission and vision of one of the leading fabric producers in the world:

Mission -
To enhance a visually and thermally optimized environment that motivates, inspires and stimulates performance.

Vision - To be the preferred supplier for sustainable solar shading solutions by delivering superior products and services.

As a retailer, it is not often that fabric technologies offer us the ability to affect homes, restaurants and places of work in a way that can change the feel and "vibe" of a place.  Smart, cutting edge companies, are getting rid of the old mini blinds and instead moving toward environments that control heat, preserve the view, allow for natural light and eliminate glare - all while being healthier, sustainable and environmentally friendly.  Also, no homeowner wants to pay for that million dollar view only to have to close it down most of the day for privacy, heat, light, or glare control.  This is why solar roller shades are so much fun to sell - because the end result leaves us feeling good about our efforts.

The window covering industry is at the front edge of a wave of solar roller shades becoming a must have item for the modern - customer and employee friendly space.  And, we would love to help you with your project.  For a quick estimate of what your project will cost, check out our online roller shade cost calculator.

Many of the fabrics we offer on our roller shade system are greenguard certified.  Are you wondering why this matters?  Well...........

Greenguard certification is a 3rd party robust certification process that helps ensure a healthy indoor living space.  Greenguard certified roller shade fabrics must meet stringent chemical emissions requirements, such as being screened for more than 10,000 volatile organic compounds (VOCs).  Roller shade fabrics with the Greengard seal undergo both annual re-certification and quarterly quality monitoring tests to maintain the credential.

Greenguard certification cuts through the clutter of environmental claims and self-declarations by credibly communicating commitment to healthy buildings, customer well-being and sustainability.  Greenguard certified products are recognized, referenced or preferred by more than 400 federal purchasers, retailers, green building rating tools, and building codes around the world.

Greenguard certified products can contribute to points in established green building programs, satisfy code or ordinance criteria or meet indoor air quality specific RFP requirements.  We have many fabrics that have earned this certification and if you would like to incorporate this certification into your home or office, then we can help.

If you would like an estimate of what roller shades will cost you in your project, please take a look at our online roller shade calculator.  Consider using us for your next roller shade project - we'll do a good job for you.

Microban Technology for Roller Shades

11/10/2014

Here is something you might not have heard about.  There is a new technology available called Microban.  Microban technology inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause staining, odors and ultimately degrade the fabric of your roller shade.  Microban technology is infused into select fabrics during the manufacturing process, so some fabric have it and some do not.  Microban technology claims to provide continuous cleanliness protection against microbes, keeping shades cleaner and fresher for longer than ever before.
Microban is being used in consumer products, commercial products, building materials, textiles and health care.  This product is in flooring, paints, bath fixtures, turf fields, yoga mats and window coverings - just to name a few.

So, if you would like to have roller shades that resist bacteria, mold, mildew and the subsequent problems that can cause, then consider purchasing a window covering with Microban technology infused at the time of manufacturing.  This is also a real consideration for hospitals, doctor's offices and other medical buildings.  In fact, all employers can have a healthier environment utilizing solar roller shades in their offices with Microban.   Less microbes, less glare, more light = a happier, healthier more productive office space.

We would love the opportunity to help make your space a healthier, more productive environment.  Also, check out our online roller shade cost estimator for a rough idea of what your project may cost.

Retractable Bug and Solar Screens for Outdoor Patios

11/3/2014

One of our more interesting products is our outdoor retractable bug and solar screens.  This product can be motorized or else built with a standard cord.  This product comes with an optional zipper system that helps seal out most bugs.  We have helped design this application in different ways to make outdoor patios more usable year around.

For instance, they are used to keep flying bugs away from eating areas.  They are used to keep warmth from outdoor heaters more enclosed.  They are used to reduce uncomfortable breezes.  And most often, they are used to shade from uncomfortable exposure to direct sunlight.

The insect screen, in the video above, uses a side channel system that acts like a zipper to make it difficult for bugs to find there way into your eating area.  If you have a need for this type of system, we would love to help design your solution.  Check out our online cost calculator for some ideas as to the approximate cost of your project.
