Shades

Shades are a common way of covering up windows. They come in a large variety of styles, and colors. Shades block light from coming into your house and keep it from going out as well. They are usually designed to adjust up and down so that light can be blocked or let in as needed.

One of the main purposes of windows is to let sunlight into a building. They also allow people to look out of them, but letting light in is their main function. Unfortunately, windows work both ways in that they let light in and out of a building. At night when you have lights on inside, you can have privacy problems because people can see inside your home. Also, sometimes sunlight can be too bright when the sun is shining right in the window. Because of these two factors, it is necessary to control how much light goes through your windows. Shades are a common way of controlling how much light goes through a window.

The key difference between blinds and shades is that blinds have segments that you can turn. This approach supplies better control over the light coming through the window. Roller shades can only go up and down, reducing the amount of control. Both approaches to controlling light have their advantages. It's a question of which style you prefer. Both can be raised and lowered, but with blinds, you can turn the segments rather than just pulling them up and down.

There are many distinct types of window shades for home use. Shades can roll up on a spool at the top of the window treatment, they can fold like an accordion, and they can slide up and down in segments. These segmented shades supply multiple options for where you can place them on your window. Solar shades tend to be a little darker because they are designed to block sunlight and darken a room. We provide shades in several brands such as Simply Essential™, Real Simple®, and ECO HOME. These brands include shades in multiple colors and styles.
