Cellular Shades are an energy efficient window covering. Their honeycomb structure traps air for maximum energy efficiency and sound reduction.Cellular Solarium/Sunroom shades offer the maximum ability to control and adjust the light and heat/cold. The shades are excellent in making sunrooms livable again.
The shades accordion back into a very compact size allowing the maximum amount of light to enter the room. They can stop at any position.
All sunroom shades utilize our Cellular light Filtering fabrics. These stop approximately 35% of the light and gently diffuse the light to cut out all glare from the sun. It also stops approximately 55% of the heat gain.
Everyone remarks at how quickly the heat of a sunroom is significantly reduced once the shades are installed.
Where there are no built-in tracks or ledges we add clear polycarbonate strips which are located on the bottom of the beams along which our shades traverse.
We usually recommend a long shade going over a curve be divided into two shades. The Four Seasons Sunroom to the left has a roof shade that pulls from the top down to the beginning of the curve and a front vertical shade that pulls up from the bottom and goes over the curve. Both run in the built-in tracks.
The flat roof shades in the photo to the right fit in between the beams and each cross bar of the bay. They ride on the drip gutter of the central beam.
If there are no built-in tracks in the beams of the sunroom, we recommend using our clear polycarbonate strips that attach to the bottom of the beams as shown at the right. Note that a clear paddle captures the strip to prevent the shade from being pushed up when operated by a telescopic pole.
