Window Shade Systems

Daylight has a quality that we respond to emotionally. Colors read true, finishes reveal their texture, and an uplifting quality pervades any room bathed in daylight. As we become more conscious of our footprint on this planet, we realize that making the most of daylight in our homes simply makes sense. Utilizing daylight reduces our need for electric light and saves energy. Window shading systems provide precision control of daylight – all at the touch of a button. Utilize your window shading system to save additional energy beyond routine use of window shades. “Winter warm” opens the window shades, taking advantage of sunlight warming a southern facade. “Summer cool” does the opposite by lowering the window shades and blocking solar heat gain, thereby reducing your cooling costs.

Interior daylight can be generated by direct sunlight or reflections from clouds, surrounding buildings, and/or light colored interior walls. Daylight management is the use of window shade systems to regulate the penetration and intensity of daylight into a space. A well-engineered window shade system consists of controllable window treatments with the proper fabric for attenuating light penetration.
