Roller shades combine convenient and elegant operation with seamless and modern design. In this blog entry, the Los Angeles window treatment installation and roller shade installation experts here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will detail the top reasons to choose roller shades for your home or business window treatment.
Disappearing Roller Shades
One of the main reasons roller shades are so popular is because they can easily disappear out of sight. If your home has a beautiful view overlooking a field, a lake, a pond, a golf course, the ocean, trees, or anything that you want to have a good view of, roller shades allow you to enjoy your view with maximum pleasure. Roller shades can be combined with valences, with matching fabric, matching metal, and can be installed with open roll or reverse roll functionality. This is all based on your personal preference. Metal fascia is usually used in commercial settings, but are also ideal choices for those who want a more industrial, modern, or sleek look at their apartment or home.
UV Ray Protection
Solar shades help to protect the inside of your home or apartment by reflecting the sun’s rays, reducing outdoor heat, and preventing the radiator from ultraviolet rays from affecting your furniture, any interior art, and even your skin. By installing solar shades at your property, you can save yourself a great deal of money and energy that would be otherwise spent on heating or cooling your home. By reflecting and absorbing the sun’s light, solar shades can actually help your internal heating or cooling systems maintain an equilibrium. Solar shades are simply a tweak on roller shades. They’re made of open weave fabric, and allow you to view through the curtains even when they’re lowered, while still blocking the sun’s light. Solar shades are available in many different levels of opaque quality. Denser woven solar shades provide more privacy and block more heat and UV rays, while more open woven shades allow for better views but provide somewhat less privacy. Solar shades are very popular in commercial settings as well as in properties where privacy is an issue. If you’re looking for both privacy and UV ray protection, dual solar shades have two different kinds of fabric that work together to allow filtered light through your window, while also allowing you a view, or privacy, when you want it.
Control Options
Cordless lift options make roller and solar shades an ideal choice for properties with children or pets. Their sleek, modern and cordless design is ideal for homeowners who want an aesthetic that utilizes clean lines. You can even opt to install your roller shades with motorized lifting systems for maximum convenience. These allow you to raise or lower your solar shades by simply pressing a button, or programming your roller or solar shades to lift or lower at certain times of the day.
Room Darkening
People who are looking for room darkening or complete blackout solutions for their interiors often choose roller shades. Roller shades are available in a wide range of fabric, colors, and opacities, allowing you to control or limit the amount of light that travels into a room. Regardless of whether you want a better night’s sleep, want to darken a child’s room for nap time, or want an excellent viewing experience in media rooms, roller shades are a fantastic choice. Simply choose roller shades that are made of blackout fabric, and install sidetracks to blackout nearly 100% of external light from your interiors.
Style Flexibility
Roller shades are available in a massive array of patterns, textures, fabrics and colors. Whether you want a modern and neutral appearance, subtly color-popping tones, or a bold color-contrast pattern, you’ll be sure to be able to find roller shades that completely match your desires and aesthetics. Los Angeles Shades and Blinds’ expert window treatment technicians will work alongside you to help determine the exact best type of roller shades to match your practical and aesthetic needs.
