Shades Give You The Soft Look Of Curtains With The Control Of Blinds

Window Shades Give You Options

Many of our customers are surprised to learn how many options there are with shades. Besides the type of fabric and textures of the shades themselves, you have many different options with the mechanism used to allow you to open and close the shades. Here are some of the different options to consider when buying shades:

Roller Shades

Somewhat self-descriptive, once installed, you simply pull down roller shades to the position you would like them. Simple to clean and maintain, this type of shade is one of the most affordable window treatment options.

Roman Shades

This option is one of the most popular shades we sell. These shades have sections that fold under one another for excellent insulation and easy operation. Roman shades open to provide a beautiful, visibly smooth window treatment.

Pleated Shades

Just as the name implies, these shades are made from pleated fabric that sits flat on the top of the window out of sight when open. When pulled down, these shades add a textured look and feel to the room.

Honeycomb Shades

Also known as cellular shades, these popular shades not only block and filter light, but they are known for their insulation benefits which help save energy costs. The cell shapes of these shades trap air which creates a barrier between the window and the rest of the room.

Woven Wood Shades

Often referred to as bamboo shades, this option provides an attractive natural choice. These shades give a casual look and texture to your room and can come in bamboo, grasses, reeds, and planks. They can come in a more open or tight weave.

Horizontal Shades

When you have taller and more narrow windows, horizontal shades are an excellent option. Using thinner slats, these sturdy window treatments are easy to operate in smaller spaces.

Averte Shades

This is a specific type of horizontal shade that is extremely versatile in that they can be used on glass sliding doors or even as a room divider. These shades hang like drapes and come in a wide variety of textures and material.
