We recently added the new Norman 2 1/2″ routless faux wood blind to our product mix. These window blinds offer the elegance of a 2 1/2″ slat with the increased light control of a routless blind.  A routless blind is constructed without using holes in the center of the window blind slat, maximizing light blockage. The Norman 2 1/2″ blind is a uniquily designed routless blind that restricts the slats from moving laterally, a common problem in most routless window blinds.

As part of our dedication towards preserving customer service excellence, we make sure every customer has temporary shades while they want for their products to be installed. Although the installation of these paper shades seem easy, it is important to install them in the correct fashion in order to prevent paint damage. Each shade has an end with adhesive, this should ONLY be installed on the glass of the window at the top of the pane. Installing these shades on the painted trim can potentially remove paint when uninstalled. For more information on these shades visit www.redishade.com/

How Solar Shades Work

1. Solar shades replace conventional window screens and like the conventional kind, they don’t block out the view and they allow air to come in the room. Unlike conventional shades, they block out the sun’s harmful rays. Most solar shades keep out 80 to 90 percent of the sun’s heat. Solar shades also come in a variety of colors and can be pet-proofed for patio doors and windows.

Health Benefits

2. There are numerous health benefits to having solar shades. They protect people from the sun’s energy and shield eyes from its harmful glare. Moreover, they help keep homes cool. These shades also block out ultraviolet rays.

Economic Benefits

3. Solar shades also help homeowners save money. Though traditionally more expensive than traditional blinds or shades, these pay for themselves with the money they save the homeowner on electric bills. By keeping homes cooler, people save money by not having to use their air conditioning systems or fans as often, thus reducing energy costs. In the winter, they keep houses warmer so homeowners don’t have to set their heating systems as high.

Other Money-Saving Benefits

4. Along with helping people save on energy bills, solar shades also help people save money on having to replace furniture. By blocking the sun’s rays, the shades keep furniture from fading.

Additional Benefits

5. These shades can be custom-fit for any window or door. In addition to all the benefits noted, these screens also keep insects out and, depending on the color, provide increased privacy.
