Motorized or Manual Shade Operation
We offer a variety of shade operating systems…
Motorized sunroom shades are the simplest systems to operate. The shade motors are controlled by a wall switch or with a radio frequency remote control.
Spring tension wand shades are for sunrooms and solariums with a moderate to steep pitch and are held in place with spring loaded gliders in the bottom of each shade. They are moved individually using a handle on the shade and we provide a simple wand pole for moving them beyond reach.
Wand shades without spring tension are available for very low pitch rooms where springs aren’t needed.
Shades with pull cords use a system of hidden pulleys. They are perfect for sunrooms with a steep pitch. These shades can be pulled individually or together in groups, depending on how cords are bundled together.
Shade Carriers
Our shades use a carrier system of gliders incorporated into the channel of each shade pleat. The gliders slide inside preexisting track grooves found in the beams of many solariums and sunrooms. Our add-on track system accommodates sunrooms without these grooves and when curved, we bend the track to match your room’s profile.
Gable End Solarium Shades
Shades for the solarium gable end conform to the roof line in curved and straight eave sections. These roman style shades operate with pull cords.
Solar Screen Roller Shades for front or gable end vertical sunroom windows have no track and operate by pull chain or motorization.
Sunbrella® and Screen Fabric Selection
We’ll send you swatch samples of our basic fabric styles and colors.
Sunbrella® Marine fabrics are warm, durable and moisture resistant. As our standard shade material, we offer this in 11 basic colors. An Energy Shield liner is sewn to the back of each shade to make them opaque and for added temperature control. Shades without Energy Shield are translucent and cast a beautiful glow in daylight.
See the available Sunbrella Marine fabrics online using this link. (Ask about our current colors. Additional charge may apply for fabrics not in our basic selection)
SheerWeave® Screen fabrics allow visibility to the outdoors while blocking a large percentage of the sun’s rays at the same time. Our solar screen shades will provide the right environment for greenhouse gardening. We offer SheerWeave in 10 basic colors and weaves.
View the SheerWeave screen fabrics at Phifer with this link. Note: We only provide screens listed on the pages for SheerWeave styles 2360, 2390, 2410 and 2500.
We use Suntex Screen fabrics in our exterior solarium shades, offered in 7 basic colors and weaves.
Maximize Energy Efficiency and Temperature Control
Shades made with Sunbrella fabrics have an energy shield backing. This helps keep your room cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The shades pictured below are an example. Temperature readings were provided showing the improvement in cooling the room.
Preserve your valuable finishes and furnishings
The direct sun deteriorates your furniture, carpeting, woodwork, art and just about everything else in your sunroom. Our shading systems give you the best protection from the sun’s power. They allow you full control of how much sun gets in.
Easy Installation
We package everything you need for your installation, clearly labeled to match our detailed instructions. Most of our customers have installed their shades themselves. Please read some of their shared experiences in our testimonials.
