Summer Blog

Hello everybody,

 Well it seems like we went right from winter to summer this year, not much nice springtime temperatures but that's Michigan. And that's ok, cause there's nothing like summer in Michigan. I think I'd rather go up North in the summer than anywhere else. There's so many nice area's in Northern Michigan I could spend all summer up there.

 Anyway it's been awfully hot this summer and more and more customers are looking for energy efficiency when purchasing their window treatment's. One popular treatment has been energy efficient solar shades. Solar shades can be made into different window treatments. They can be made into panel tracks (typically for sliding doors), roman shades or the most popular treatment roller shades. They can come with different decorative valance options and in a variety of color choices. While they come with different openness factors  5% and 10% openness are the most popular. 5% openness would block out 95% of light and UV ray while 10% openness would block out 90%. Most of our solar shades are Greenguard indoor air quality certified and many are made right here in Michigan.

 Another great energy efficient product are solar powered remote control shades. Your treatment's will come down and cover your window when your window warms up and rise off your window when it cools down. There are many great remote control choices that are getting more and more popular with consumers. We will be talking a lot more about them in our next blog.

If you have any questions about these products or any of our other fine products please feel free to call us, we will gladly answer any questions you may have. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and we will be blogging at you again soon.

      Sincerely,

      Ernie & Frank
