3/18/24 – Isabelle,

My husband wanted me to let you know he was impressed at the quality of the shades and how easy they were easy to install. I wasn’t sure about getting the roman shades, but I love the look! I can’t believe how different the room looks now.

Thank you for all your help.

Debbie

12/9/23 – Isabel:   Thought you would enjoy seeing your product in place.  We followed your instructions with success except the rest periods required for an 80 and 82 years old customer/installers on the step latter working over our heads .  We finally hit our rhythm.  Quite pleased with opening/closing.  Thank you!  They are beautiful up and very functional in shading the room!

9/6/23 – Dear Isabel and Steve, Our shades are up and look gorgeous ! Honestly, anything that could go wrong did ~ one shade we put in upside down 🤦‍♀️ then in putting up another shade we broke the tension pin and I had to replace the rod.Thank goodness you sent extra parts they were very much appreciated. You really did think of everything.🤗
This week they were really put to the test. We had 90 degree days and our room would have been 130 or 140 degrees easily. Instead the room was around 81 with no air on ~ when we put the air on it went down to 70 in a half hour !!! 🥶 We are so excited and the room looks gorgeous as well.
It definitely tested our 45 year marriage ~ definite team work to put them up ! Lol   Thanks once again for all your help and patience. I know we had many phone calls and you were very accommodating sending me samples and answering all my questions, but you wanted to make sure everything would be perfect and it was ! 🤗
Regards, Judy and George

7/5/25 – Isabelle and Steve,

I wanted to send a few pics of our new shades installed. My wife Jenny and I installed them last weekend, which went very smooth and only took us a day including scaffolding setup (which was its own mini project).

The shades look and work great, the materials and stitching are high quality. Your motor tube design is clever. Being able to open and close all 10 shades with the push of a button has already impressed several of our guests.
Thanks for all of your help with planning and design of our shades and for keeping us cooler indoors in Texas!

The shades arrived in one piece and they look great in our sunroom. It’s not really the season for needing shades in NY but we’ll be ready for the spring!

Thank you so much for letting us know the status of our order and that the balance has been charged to our credit card.  Your company is the epitome of customer service.  There has never been a question of where we stand nor any issues with unanswered questions.  You and Isabelle are on top of every detail.
We look forward to having the blinds delivered and installing them some day next week.
It has been a pleasure working with Thermal Designs.  We will let you know if we have any questions going forward.
 
All the best,
Peggy

9/20/21 – Isabel,
Just wanted you to know the shades arrived and we installed them last week. They are MARVELOUS!

We’re wondering why we didn’t purchase them years ago – they make the sunroom look softer and certainly cooler when the sun is hot.  Thanks to your team for excellent manufacturing, packaging/shipping and providing everything (screws, drill bits, instructions, etc) for the installation. Many thanks!

Regards,
Bill Wiktor

Thanks for the shades.  Literally everything worked great.  Appreciate the simple and direct directions.  The shades were even rolled correctly ready to install.  The shades fit well and the end shade was correctly sized (thanks).  You should feel good about the fact, you all offer an excellent ready to install quality product.
We installed them a couple of weekends ago.  Attaching picture of shades installed.
Hope to see you all sometime on the trail!
 
Many thanks,

1/11/21 – Hi there,

I mentioned last year how much I loved these shades and Steve requested photos. I sent them from my phone, but I don’t think you ever received them. As you can see from the pictures, these are to die for. But, with them, our house is so enjoyable that we haven’t felt the need to leave, so we didn’t. Die. Yay! Anyway, the blue shades are flipping fabulous, and you have my permission should you want to use any pictures of them online.

Happy 2021!
 
Isabel: Thanks again for the great service and shades for our sunroom. I really appreciate the assistance you gave me in ordering the shades and the support and instructions you followed through with during the installation process. You, and the shades, are the best! Regards,

9/21/20 – Dear Isabel, 
 
What Bill (not Bull) did not mention is that we celebrated our 48th Wedding Anniversary by installing our Fabulous Thermal Design shades that morning!!!  We had a fun time and they were up and all set for use in a very reasonable period of time.  We then spent the afternoon in our Four Seasons Sun Room reveling in the new-found comfort of a shaded, very comfortable temperature sun room – it was GREAT!!!  I
 
In the past few months we had to close the sun room off from the adjoining room when it was over 85 degrees; the heat load was such that it  would heat up the rest of the house (this is a shared heat feature we enjoy when the temperature goes down, but not when it is broiling hot outside).  We are very impressed and pleased with the quality and workmanship of the blinds, and really appreciated the straight-forward, understandable installation instructions!  What a joy to have such a value-added addition to our sun room – your shades are both elegant and highly functional.  Thank you for offering such a fine product!.
 
Highest regards, Sharon
 

8/27/21 –  Hi Isabel,

Here’re 2 pics of our completed sunroom with your shades. I’m very happy with the quality of the product. I encountered a few minor problems during installation, but overall everything went well.
 
The two right hand shades were about 3/8” too narrow so I had to install a shim piece on the far right side to compensate. I don’t know if I gave you the wrong measurements or it was manufactured wrong. Anyway, it doesn’t matter, as the shims did the trick. 
 
Thanks for all your help. It was a pleasure to do business with you!
 
Tom Brayak 
7/15/20 – Steve: Just talked to Isabel on the phone about how fantastic our Thermal Design shades are. Quality is far beyond anything that I am accustomed to. I’m such a fan that I mentioned to her that if you had anyone in the Savannah, Georgia area that needed a recommendation from a happy customer, I would be glad to talk to them. If I can’t convince them to purchase from Thermal Designs, then they are not seriously in the market for shades for their Four Season Sunroom. Thanks for a great product!

10/17/19 – WOW!  Just received my replacement shade! 
We just spoke about a replacement shade on Monday and it arrived today, Thursday!
Thank you so much for such an awesome turn around time on our new shade, Isabel.   
 
One of the boxes in our original shipment was damaged by UPS.  On Monday, Isabel & I spoke just ONCE about my blind getting damaged in the shipment.  She told me not to worry about anything.  She and her assistant would make a new shade (at no cost) for us and ship it out right away!  (No hassles with UPS)!  Simply EPIC!!   It arrived today, Thursday!!    Isabel made my week!!
 
Isabel and Steve – From the beginning, you both have given my husband and I excellent customer service.  Our shades are beautiful!  You have made our,  “too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer”, sunroom livable again!
 
GOD BLESS YOU  ~~   Steve & Iris Kaczor

7/30/19 – Isabel,
I was finally able to visit my mom’s in New Hampshire and see the shades you made for her. They are beautiful. She loves them. And for the first time in over 20 years, they have been able to successfully air condition her sunroom, thanks to the shades. Just wanted to pass that information on hoping it would make your day.

7/20/19 – Hi Isabel,

I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our new blinds.  They went up pretty easily (after the first one!) and fit and look great.  Despite the heat wave we’ve been having, there is a noticeable difference in the temperature in the sun room, even without any auxiliary cooling.  Once we get that taken care of, it will be even better during these hot days. I’m glad we decided to get the Thinsulate(r) as I’m sure that has made a difference as well. 
 
I absolutely recommend  your company, your service and the care your company obviously takes in its product and packaging, down to the foam brush to clean out the tracks, the plastic gloves to avoid dirtying the blinds and the silicone spray for any sticky wheels.  Well done!

The shades are up and my mom loves them.  The fabric we picked is perfect.  My brother had no problems installing them.  Thank you for all you patience and assistance.

1/28/19 – Isabel – So… Only half done, but the shades are absolutely gorgeous! The stitching, fabric, fit and finish are truly first class – so wonderful to work with supremely talented people. Pic attached for reference. Thanks again for the beautiful shades. I’m having a ball installing them!

1/19/19 – I want to express how happy I am with my sunroom shades. Our sunroom has been transformed. This space is now so much more functional and just stunning. I could not imagine this space turning out so wonderfully.
I’m super happy my husband found your company online and suggested we use your company. I must admit I was a little worried about doing all the installation ourselves but your instructions sheets were straight forward and made it easy.
Thank you and your crew for their superb workmanship.

Sincerely,  Pauline

For anyone wanting to know if it is worth dealing with this company the answer is 
absolutely YES. You get what you pay for and that is an outstanding product with a 
caring and outstanding company behind it. I can not thank Isabel and Steve
enough for helping us with our Sunroom.

9/11/2017 - Isabel: I couldn't be happier with my shades. The quality is fantastic. Everything you represented to me 
was true. My shoulders are a little worse for wear but they went up pretty easy over all. Would recommend your company 
highly. 
Thanks Jim. Pictures attached.

9/15/16 – Hi Isabel,

I am SO happy with my sunroom ceiling shades!  The fit is perfect  —  including the specialty shapes  —  and the fabric color matches my window sheers beautifully!  I’m glad I got the extra Thinsulate insulation.  From what I can tell, the room temperature is at least 15 degrees cooler than before, and of course the glare is tremendously reduced.  This makes the space quite livable in summer.  Yea!  Thank you for your expertise with Four Seasons and for the personal interest you took in the project.  (No one locally knew how to approach the situation.)  
In gratitude,
Jean Spencer

Isabel we received our shades and installed them Saturday. WOW they are beautiful,
and the fit and finish is perfect. Your team did a wonderful job making them, we couldn’t
be happier. I can’t thank you enough for all your help and suggestions as you made all the
difference in the final outcome. Ordering a product from halfway across the country and hoping
for a happy outcome can be stressful. You were the difference with your product as well as the
room knowledge and pleasant personality. I would recommend your company to anyone, as well as
you, to guide them thru their project. Please thank Steve as well as all those involved with
our project.
Best wishes to all, John Keefe. ps. The birds are also happy

8/29/14

Isabel, Steve, Chet (and other support personnel at Thermal Designs)

The shades have now been completely installed and are working well (see picture). Also, they are doing their job (see other two pictures). Tomorrow morning I will adjust all cords and trim excess, set limits, and silicone all tracks (did a little of that already during the installation but tomorrow it will be thorough). The compression of the one channel was corrected with a pry bar and a piece of tool steel that I fit into the channel to obtain the correct leverage and angle.

My compliments on a very efficient design and quality products. Mary and I are will be away for the month of September so we are in a slight panic regarding remaining to-dos before we leave. If I have time I will send a follow up e-mail with any observations and/or lessons learned.

Needless to say I am very glad that I found your company. It has been a pleasure to deal with you. Thanks for putting up with all of my questions.

Thanks for guiding us through this challenging project and if anyone expresses concern regarding how difficult your drapes might be to install just tell them you know of a couple in their seventies who did just fine.

Hi,
I finally got the courage to hang the shades. They are beautiful. I am not the handiest so there was a learning curve. The advice to use a template was helpful. I used a shim as it was slim and I could clamp it easily. Then as it got chewed I taped a 5/16 ” washer over the hole on the shim. Thank you for taking the time to talk me through the entire process from initial measurements to installation. The product is beautiful and fits perfectly.
Thanks,
– Amy Glowacki

Dear Isabel
We just received the replacement shade today for our sunroom. Thank you so very much. It is perfectly beautiful. Thanks for standing behind your products as you advertise that you do. Recently we had so much trouble with a company we used for venetian blinds that we will not be using them again. Not so with yours. It is refreshing to see high quality workmanship and great service from your company.
Thank you again.

Hi Isabel,
I just wanted to send a note along to you and everyone at Thermal Design Inc. to say thank you and to let you know how our first experience with your company went. I have been in the window covering business for over 17 years and have installed literally thousands of blinds and shades.

First of all, let me begin by saying that, Isabel, your customer service is top-notch and far exceeds what passes for customer service at most company’s these days. From my first phone call to the last follow-up call you have been helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating every step of the way.

When the order arrived I wanted to familiarize myself with the product before going to my customer so I unpacked the four well labelled boxes at our shop. Everything was well protected and had descriptive labels. I was also very impressed with the attention to detail of the installation supplies from the rubber gloves, to the silicone spray, to the proper size drill bit, absolutely everything needed to do the installation properly.

Installation day I showed up confident that I was prepared to do the job. The installation instructions are very clear and followed to the ‘T’ provided a flawless finished product. The customer was delighted with the shades and impressed that we were in and out in under four hours (including moving furniture out and back in). I attribute the quick installation to the organized way the shades were packed, the instructions, as well as the proper supplies.

Thank you very much for making my job so easy and satisfying. I look forward to doing more ‘Thermal Design Inc.’ jobs in the near future. I have included before and after photos of the job for you to share with your customers.
Sincerely,
– Terry Burak – Superior Blind Services

Just wanted to send you a “testimonial”. Our invoice number was: 8449.
I don’t normally send in testimonials, but in this case I’ll make an exception. When my wife started looking, and finally decided on purchasing our shades form Thermal Designs, I must admit I was somewhat skeptical. My skepticism was due to previous purchases of other products from other companies. When we received the shades, my opinion changed significantly. All eight units were received in perfect condition, well labeled and when I opened the cartons, I was immediately impressed with the quality of the material and workmanship. I also had my doubts about the installation instructions, as I have received some that were very poor. All of the instructions were clear, concise and easy to understand. They even included all of the necessary brackets, screws and even the correct size drill bit. The installation went smoothly and quickly. We are delighted with our shades and I would highly recommend Thermal Designs if you are considering Four Seasons retractable shades.
Well done!
– T & D Clark


Ms. Isabel
Just a word to say “thank you”. The shades are in place. My friend of many years and a master of many skills (Bruce Peterson) spent 5 minutes to read instructions and one and a half hour (at most) to complete the job!

I will try soon to find a way to get a picture of it to you. I commend you and your staff for the great precision in constructing the shades. You are welcome to use my honest opinion of these products in any advertising medium.
Very pleased

– Ray and Janice McConnell

(Nice to get some data on temperature change with our shades installed…)
Isabel,
Attached are photos before and after installation. Notice the differences in indoor temperature readings before and after the installation. Before installation, the temperature was 84.3 degrees F inside and 92.1 degrees F outside. After installation, the temperature was 83.4 degrees F inside and 102.9 degrees F outside. The sunroom is on the west side of our house so it receives the hot afternoon sun.

Installation was simple once I figured out a few tricks in getting the shades started. In fact the last 3 shades took less time to install than the first one did.
Thanks

Hello Isabel,
We received our sunroom blinds and my husband hung them over Christmas break, and we both are in love with them. They fit the windows perfectly and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you for all your hard work and committment to getting them to us before Christmas. It is much appreciated! We have MANY more windows in need of blinds, and we plan on ordering them all from you in the future. Thanks again for the business and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Have a Happy New Year!

Isabel,
Thank you very much, the blinds arrived Wednesday and they look absolutely awesome!!! We should have purchased these long ago, the temperature in the sunroom has dropped tremendously and the air conditioner doesn’t run as often. It is such a wonderful room to sit and relax to watch tv in now.
Thank you again,

Isabel,
Thanks so much for all the prompt help with our recent order for our Four Seasons Sunroom. The installation instructions were clear and easy to follow. We are very pleased with the blinds from start to finish. The new blinds will add about 4 months enjoyment to the room, helping keep out the winter cold and the blazing summer heat. The double springs on the leading rod solved the concern with the shades moving down when we wanted them in a certain spot. It is a pleasure doing business with companies that under promise and over deliver. That was certainly the case with our order. photos enclosed.

Thanks again,

Isabel,
Thank you for the very complete and nicely made shade for the Kohler Resort . You provided everything I needed for the installation including gloves which helped to keep the fabric from getting soiled. The silicone spray made the shade easy to operate which saved the day for me . The attractive wand was simple and the perfect tool for operating the shade.

Just writing to let you know we got the grommet kit and it worked wonderfully. It was a simple fix that even I could handle. Everything is great with the curtains and are very pleased with them. Thanks for all your help and we would definitely order from you again and will be recommending your company to others. Your company’s personal attention to the order was critical in the success of the project…
Thanks again

Isabel,
Finished the shades and everything was perfect. Right size, and well made;we liked the blue. The complete installation kit of drill bit, gloves, cleaning brush and instructions,spare parts etc. was an unexpected bonus and a big help. Again, thanks for a great job.


Hey Isabel,

Thanks to all your wonderful and talented people..

The shades are perfect! The color and weight of the shade are exactly how you explained, they look great with the wood trim. I was also impressed with the detailed instructions on installing them and all the supplies that came with them to install. We were able to install them in just over 4 hours.

I would recommend Thermal Designs to all. You were fast and courteous and knew your stuff.
Thanks again!

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know we’ve had our shades about a month now and we love them. My husband was delighted at how easy they were to install.

Dear Isabel,
The shades are in and I really love them! This makes my sunroom totally usable all summer long, despite the 90+ degree days we’ve been having.
The larger swatches of material you sent me and your feedback over the phone really helped. The fabric is perfect!
They are extremely easy to open and close, so I don’t hesitate to modify the lighting depending on the time of day and temperature. I’ve attached some pictures to show you how pretty they are, including one to show what they look like fully opened. Please feel free to use these photos if you want to demonstrate to someone what the finished product looks like.
Thanks so much for your help and for this terrific product!
All the best,
– Margaret


Hi Isabel,
We are finally finished with our patio. We want to thank you again for your quality product. The shades allow us to be in control of the patio. We’ve got sun (and heat) when we want, and cool shade when it’s too hot. The shades went up slick. Everything was in the shipment that we needed–well, thought out. All the shades were uniform and very well made.

Our project being a unique diy type of installation, I was impressed with your idea of sending one test shades first. It fit perfectly, and so did the other 17.
The thing that impressed me most was NO surprises. You know your product very well, and we able to communicate very well. That means alot when you are doing the project all by yourself.
We would highly recommend your product to anyone.
Sincerely,

– Peter and Sherry Brown


Hello Isabel,
Just wanted to drop you a quick email to let you know that the SunShades are up! We think they look totally lovely and gorgeous – and do a great job of reflecting the sun and providing shade and cooler temperatures. Also, appreciate getting these in the timeframe promised.
Thank you,
– Lorraine Evans – Florida Running & Triathlon


Hello to Ms. Isabel and Mr. Chet in Colorado from Ohio. Don and I just want to tell you how pleased we are with our new shades. They are beautiful. We had old stained and dirty shades in the sunroom when we moved into our house 7 years age. We waited until we could afford new. There is only one company in the Cincinnati area who offers 4 seasons sunroom shades, and their cost was over $11,400 for only the ceiling shades. They install the shades, and we were required to buy two motors. We couldn’t afford their price, so I investigated online and found your company. Don called and talked to Isabel and said she knew more about the shades than anyone he had talked to, and he felt confident ordering from your company. Don had no trouble installing the shades and having them motorized is so much easier than cranking to raise and lower them.

We would like to order the small coverings for above the side windows. We thought the roller on the sideshades would be smaller, so Don had to install them lower than we expected, and there is too much sun coming in at the top of the shades. We would like them to be the SW Birch color also. I included pictures of all the new shades for you.

So, to close, thank you very much for you product and your professional service. We would highly recommend you to anyone needing sunroom shades.
– Lynda and Don Ernst


Well here is my sun room in Guilford, VT and the beautiful shades I purchased from you that were so easy to install. I must admit that I was overly nervous about the installation process, but was pleasantly surprised to find that I had all six shades installed in about 1.5 hours. I absolutely love how they look and the shade that they provide for me as well as for protecting the furniture in the room. I could not be happier with them. I am so glad that I found you on the internet. Anyone with a sun room should consider these beautiful as an addition to it. I think they will be as happy as I am with my new shades.
Thanks again.
– Jim Marceno.


Isabel,
This email is a long time overdue….
We installed our shades, both Jeff and I….without killing each other (can you believe that?). We did them a couple of weeks after receiving them. It took the two of us two days total, mostly because I was working with a bad knee at the time, and couldn’t work for very many hours in a row…kept having to take breaks to rest it. They were really easy to put up and you and Chet were just great as far as helping us out and just answering any questions that we had. Thank you also for recommending the “motorized” shades…they were well worth the few extra bucks!

It’s refreshing to deal with a company that has real people answering their phones and that takes the time with their customers, no matter how trivial or large their problem is. We just had new carpeting put throughout our whole house, so the parrots and I have been banned into the sunroom because the odor from the padding and carpet is deadly to the birds respiratory system. We’re actually living in the sunroom until the carpet is pretty well aired out and there are no fumes. It may be a week or two.

Needless to say, a room that we NEVER used, because it was tooooo hot, is now like having an actual extra room that can be used like any other room….it’s wonderful !!! I’ve put extra furniture in there, a huge TV and for now…my aerobed and the bird cages.

I can’t say how happy I am that I happened to be browsing the internet and googled “sunroom shades” and found your website. We are so pleased with the quality of the shades, the service from your company and would absolutely tell ANYONE that has a room they can’t use because of the sun, to call you immediately and they’ll be taken care of.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking of you and really wanting to sit down and let you know how much you’ve improved some part of our lives….God, how I hated that room before !! I kept saying, “well….that room was a BIG waste of our money!” Now I say…”Thank you Isabel ! I Love my new room !!!
I’m sure that at some time in the future, I’ll be calling you for shades for the sides of the room, although we really don’t need them for the sun, but more for privacy.
Thank you again !!
Always,
– Cindy and Jeff Jones – Home Owners


Subject: Four Seasons Shades – Perfection!!!!

Received the 5 parcels last Thurs. installed last Friday, and have been enjoying the shade since.
The fit was perfect, the installation simple and the results terrific.
The difference is amazing. Just in time for our July 1, Canada Day long weekend.
Many, many thanks for a job well done!
Again great job on these shades.

Thanks
– Garry


Dear Isabel,
Enclose are the pictures we promised to send. We are so very happy with our shades. When Scott & I decided to put shades in the sunroom, we were frustrated with no one in our area to help us. By chance I found Thermal Designs on the internet. We were so excited. After a few phone calls to work out the details, we had our order placed and within weeks we received our new shades. I must say we use our sunroom more than ever. Thanks again for your expertise & professionalism.
Sincerely,
– Barb & Scott Jennette – Home Owners


Isabel: Shades were received on Monday and on Tuesday I went to work putting them up. Instructions were very good for the overhead curtains. Everything fit very nicely. For the verticle ones the distance of 71 1/2 inches was about 3/8 of an inch to short for the screws that were in place already. So a bit of redrillling the bracket holes and they also fit very nicely. Thanks for your help. We love them.
– Charley Fitch – Home Owner


Just a note to tell you how happy I am with my new shades. We are having a very hot summer here in Indiana and they are keeping the heat out just like you promised. Thanks to Isabel for all her help.
– LaVon Perry – Home Owner


Dear Isabel,
In regards to the used “Sunshine Rooms” solarium that I had obtained, we would like to thank you for your help in designing and putting together a great set of shades for our sunroom. As you are well aware of, this was something new to us, doing it ourselves. We were quite surprised the way you bent over backwards to see that everything would work out for us. Especially with the fact that we were using regular wood siding for the end walls instead of glass panels. Thanks again for a job well done by you and the crew there. The material and the workmanship were both great!!!!!
Our room is now complete, THANKS TO YOU!!!
– Lee & Cindy B. – Home Owners


Hi Isabel,
We are thrilled with our new sunroom window shades and couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of your product! You provided us with professional advise and samples of shade material to make the right decision for our sunroom. We can attest to your prompt follow-up on our sunshades and outstanding service. The shades were delivered as promised in time and quality. The assembly directions and material were extremely well thought out. Dealing with your company was so easy and pleasant that we can recommend your company highly!
Best Regards,
– Horst Stahl – Home Owner


THANK YOU, We can finally use our sunroom in the summertime! I made a template to drill the holes and the installion was easy. It took about four hours to install the six sections. After the second one was installed the room started to cool down. The temperature was 87 degrees and the sun was bright. We have central air and three vents in the sunroom, but it never was cool enough to use until long after the sun went down. I sat in the room from 2:00 PM until 11:PM. Your idea for a lighter color was great as they look darker installed and closed. They add to the beauty of the room and I finally can use the room. Again ,Thank You, If you need any one to verify that your shades work, My wife and I will be a testament.
– Rich Kozek


Dear Isabel: Just a line to thank you and the folks at T.D. for the quality shades we purchased from you. The installation was easy thanks to the custom instructions. The quality of the workmanship is excellent as is the fabric. Again thank you.
– Tony and MaryAnn Norelli – Home Owners


As local companies gave suggestions and estimates, my wife and I found nothing but confusion, conflicting information and expense in our search for solutions to our sunroom’s melt-down effect. Then we found Thermal Designs on the internet; our problem was solved. Interaction with the company representatives cultivated confidence and clarity. Our lack of “handi-ness” was compensated for by their patience, incredible responsiveness, experience and consumate good-natured approach. Clearly, their primary concern was our satisfaction and every detail was carefully seen to. I would recommend Thermal Designs to anyone who wants an attractive and effective solution to their sunroom or solarium issue.
– John Michel and Jane Finkle – Home Owners


Hi Isabel, As I told you on the phone the other day, we are thrilled with our new shades. I have a pet peeve regarding “some assembly required” instructions and your directions proved to be the most complete and easy to follow as any I have ever encountered. Bravo! Here are a couple of photos of the sun room. Thanks again,
– Bob Cortright – Home Owner


Thank you Thermal Designs Inc. for the sun shades that I recieved from you company…
I would like you to know that I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the shades and I send kudos for the timely delivery as promised…
Kindest regards,

The Four Season Shades arrived. The engineering, workmanship and quality appear to be superb. And the directions were extremely well thought out, making them fun for Sharon and me to put up. Except for having to wash the windows first!
Thanks.
– Powell Foster – Home Owner


The sunroom blinds arrived on 3 October and I installed them on the 4th of October. We are very happy with the product and they fit like a glove. It couldn’t be any better.
I would like to personally thank both of you for the excellent information you provided as well as the support that made this happen. It’s great to be able to work with people that has the buyers interest at heart. Thanks for everything and it was a pleasure to work with you all.
– Robert Barnett – Home Owner


We received the shades Monday afternoon, and my husband and I installed them Tuesday with no problems. They look great. My husband was very favorably impressed with the quality of the shades and the thought and organization involved in packaging them. Everything was labeled clearly and logically, and the instructions were quite clear.
So, we’re very pleased with the shades, and we thank you the time you spent with us in getting the project underway and accomplished.
– Helen Lovett – Home Owner


We love our shades! They Make all the difference in the world in our sunroom!
Sincerely,
– Ali McDaniel – Home Owner


We received and installed the shades for our sunroom today. The shades look great and fit the windows perfectly. Thanks for your help and we will recommend Thermal Designs Inc. to anyone that asks where we purchased our sunroom shades.
Thanks again,
– David Hubbard – Home Owner


Paul and I want to express our appreciation for the fine product that Thermal Designs manufactures. Our thermal shades not only fit well and look very good but also indeed they do provide significant insulation in hot weather and, presently, in freezing weather. We are very pleased and happily surprised by their role in making our now-favorite sun room comfortable regardless of nature’s moods outdoors.

When I (Carol) first contemplated having custom shades made by a company clear across the country based on measurements that we provided, I thought that it would not work. But I hadn’t “met” you yet. I am stilled awed by your communications abilities! You got us to measure correctly and accurately. You were very patient in explaining wands and ganging pulls ad nauseam while I tried to wrap my mind around these ideas.

We want to make certain you know that we appreciate your company’s adjusting the shade to accommodate the fan at no cost to us. It is that sort of very rare customer support that helped us manage reconstruction after our tornado without major financial and emotional trauma.

If ever we find that we need your services again, we will turn to Thermal Designs without a second thought. The beauty of your being able to conduct business long distance is that no matter where in the country we live-you are easily available!

Meantime, we plan to mention your company’s name to any of our friends, family, and colleagues who might benefit from your products and services. I know we do have people thinking about building sun rooms after seeing ours!

With deep appreciation and our wishes that you and your company prospers in the years to come, we thank you.
Sincerely,
– Carol and Paul Manka – Home Owners


The Shades are so useful. We would miss them now in our summer season.
Thank you,
– Hanna Porter – Home Owner


I am very satisfied with your Thermal Designs Shades for my Solarium! I enjoyed installing the shades and now my family and I can enjoy the sunroom “open” or “closed”. Thank you for an excellent product and outstanding workmanship.
Sincerely
– Raymond Henderson – Home Owner


We completed the solarium curtain installation a week ago and all is working very well !!
Thank you and Chet for you assistance.
I am very happy.
– Rene Godin – Home Owner


I want to thank you immensely for all your help in processing this order and to tell you how thrilled we are with our shades.

We quickly installed most of them so as to familiarize ourselves with the process and make sure the order was completed properly. The Holidays then descended upon us and we are in the midst of a major remodeling so the shades have been temporarily taken down and will be put back up as soon as possible. The warm spring sun coming in the room has already made me miss them!

Thanks for all your patience while we made decisions regarding these shades. If you remember, we were dealing with hail damage to our exterior shade and you were so helpful throughout the whole process as we waited for payment from the insurance company. You made the interior shades (what I REALLY wanted) a real obtainable product for us. I thought the price difference would make it impossible to afford them.

Thanks for the service. Your product is everything I’d hoped it would be – quality material, easy installation, simple operation….) look forward to our first summer in the sunroom with these new shades!
thanks.
– Mary Schmittgens – Home Owner


Some time ago I contacted you in regards to purchasing shades for my Four Seasons Sunroom. You recommended I try Thermal Designs in Boulder Colorado. Great Call.

I wanted you to know that I did contact them, and after initial discussions, I was confident that the product would fit my needs. Now a few weeks later, I was compelled to write and tell you what a great recommendation this was. I installed the shades myself and believe me I was apprehensive about taking on the task. When I originally spoke with Isabel from Thermal Designs, she assured me that I could do it myself. Turns out she was right. These people know how to guide you through the project, they care about your satisfaction and the end result looks sensational. Both Isabel and Chet at Thermal Designs took a genuine interest in making sure the project went well. I would recommend them to anyone.

Here’s the bonus: Something I did not anticipate. Not only did we get protection from the hot afternoon sun coming into our kitchen, but we gained additional living space. The Four Seasons dining room is now a place we can enjoy to do other things during the day. My wife does some craft work and now uses the room in the afternoon. That’s a first.
Thanks Maude for the tip on this company. We just added another room to our house for a very low cost.
Sincerely,
– Bob McCord – 
Home Owner
