<p>Whether it be the windows in their living rooms, bedrooms or workspaces, people want to be able to look out of the windows and enjoy the view while still being able to adjust the amount of glare and the amount of heat that enters an area, thus solar window shades were created. And now, a recent introduction to the market is turning heads; Designer Solar Window Shades, the shades that offer a little spice to a room!</p>
<p>The choice is yours! To attend to the needs of a variety of customers, designer solar shades come in many different fabrics, weaves, patterns and colors. The most common of these is the solar shade that contains a 5% openness factor that preserves the view while filtering out natural light. With summer on the way, these designer shades are sure to be flying out the doors.</p>
<p>There are many different options to choose from when it comes to selecting the right solar shade for your windows. Manufactures are quite successful in providing a world of options to meet everyone&#8217;s needs. Solar shades come in all weaves and sizes as well as with different levels of quality. You can even choose to join many manufacturers and go green with solar shades that are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified for low emissions (LEED). This certification is only awarded if three areas are properly met; air quality, environmental materials and energy savings.</p>
<p>Depending on the specific company shipping the blinds, turnaround time can vary to some degree. However, many sizes and colors are kept in-house and will be available within a 2-day production time.</p>
<p>When you are shopping for designer solar window shades, make sure you shop around to ensure you are saving as much as possible. With spring here and summer right around the corner companies are offering big discounts on their designer shades and window coverings. Savings up to 30% off are offered by specific companies.</p>
<p>Because solar shades reduce the amount of heat that enters a room, these shades are great for keeping the potentially damaging heat and light from harming furniture, pictures, artwork and more. Additionally, they reduce air conditioning costs by blocking heat without blocking the view.</p>
<p>&#8220;While glass tends to heat up the sun&#8217;s rays as they enter your home, these transparent shades continually block and reflect this thermal energy before it has a chance to come into the room. But the real beauty is that just like sunglasses or car tints, you are still able to look out and enjoy the view from your house. This makes these shades ideal for any weather climate in any geographical landscape, city, or countryside,&#8221; reports servicemagic.com</p>
<p>As anyone who has fully seen the benefits of solar shades will say, solar shades are a must have for warm weather areas. They are affordable and their benefits can be found today, tomorrow and for years to come. They reduce heat, they reduce glare, they can make an otherwise uncomfortable room enjoyable and pleasant to spend the day in.</p>

<p>Consumers are often unaware of the difference between faux wood blinds and real wood blinds. Not only do many not know the difference between the two, but they are also unaware of the benefits of faux wood blinds. There positives and negatives to any product. And the same goes faux and wood blinds. Once shoppers make themselves aware of the differences and the advantages to each it is normally obvious which is the better choice for their specific situation.</p>
<p>The most obvious advantage to Faux Wood Blinds is that they are an economical alternative to wood blinds. Saving money is a high priority for most consumers in any economy. But in today&#8217;s economy the economical choice is often the only choice.</p>
<p>Faux wood blinds look the same as their real wood counterparts. The faux wood is created using advanced technology. They are made from PVC and a composite of man-made materials combined with wood particles. The majority of shoppers cannot tell the difference between faux and real wood visually.</p>
<p>Another benefit of the faux wood blinds is easy maintenance. They&#8217;re easier to clean than real wood blinds. They handle moisture well so cleaning them isn&#8217;t difficult. Humidity does not affect the structure of faux wood blinds. Real wood blinds require more care when it comes to moisture and/or humidity. This can make maintenance and cleaning a bit more difficult.</p>
<p>Faux Wood Blinds are available in a wide range of colors and textures. They are easily incorporated into any design style and/or color scheme. All faux wood blinds offered in the Blinds Chalet inventory conform to current child safety guidelines.</p>
<p>When considering purchasing Faux Wood Blinds consumers are urged to consider the differences between manufacturers. Simple product comparison graphs are available for consumer information on the company&#8217;s website at: www.BlindsChalet.com. Deciding which aspect of the faux wood blinds is most advantageous makes choosing the manufacturer of the product easier as they each have specific strengths and weaknesses.</p>

<p>Window blinds are seen in two different lights. Some consumers/homeowners see them as an annoying home expense; one that they will avoid at all costs. These consumers are doing themselves a disservice. Smart consumers and homeowners recognize window blinds as the home improvement that they are.</p>
<p>Agents looking to make their clients&#8217; homes stand out look first to curb appeal. These savvy agents almost always look first to upgrading or installing window blinds throughout the house. Some homeowners don&#8217;t realize the importance of window coverings, but the presence of window blinds makes a drastic difference to prospective home buyers. Potential buyers looking for their new home recognize positives and negatives of the homes they are shown almost subconsciously and window blinds are an addition that adds a lot of value to the home. It&#8217;s a definite advantage.</p>
<p>Most people accept that window blinds are necessary. They fill basic functions in the home: light control and/or blocking and privacy. The wide variety of products available on the market ensure that regardless of size and placement&#8230;there is a product available for every situation. There are varying degrees of light control available from full light blocking to products that purposefully funnel natural light.</p>
<p>The general consumer group doesn&#8217;t question that there are basic needs to be filled and that the window blinds fill these needs. Window blinds have been doing their job for years. But they do so much more than the basics in today&#8217;s market. They offer advantages to homeowners that can be had through no other product.</p>
<p>One such advantage is curb appeal. Real estate agents are aware of the emphasis placed on window treatments by many buyers. Homeowners need to be aware of this when they are considering window blinds purchases. Window blinds are not a design expense. They are a home improvement and homeowners should consider the expense an investment that is increasing the value of their home. Another obvious advantage that is somehow overlooked by many is the energy saving features incorporated into many window blinds products.</p>
<p>Energy savings window blinds can save homeowners hundreds of dollars. Reputable companies offer online energy savings calculators that can estimate the dollar amount that can be saved by installing any particular energy saving product. This type of &#8220;home improvement&#8221; offers 2 value increasers: curb appeal, and financial gain through energy savings. In today&#8217;s real estate market there aren&#8217;t many houses that don&#8217;t have plenty of competition. So doing what you can to set your home apart is no longer just a good move&#8230;it&#8217;s a necessary move. And window blinds are the perfect start.</p>

<p>There have been countless recalls for a variety of window covering products throughout the years, but the most persistent issues is cords. Cording on window coverings poses a safety issue to small children who can become entangled in the cords. Consumers are urged to be aware of the safety issue and take it seriously.</p>
<p>1. Take a close look at your window coverings (vertical blinds, roman shades, cell shades, horizontal blinds, etc.) Regardless of what product is in use in your home. Just take a few minutes and really look at it. Are there ANY exposed cords on the sides, front or back of the product? This is the safety issue.</p>
<p>2. If you find exposed cording consider your options. Many manufacturers of all kinds of window treatments (vertical blinds, cell shades, roman shades, horizontal blinds, etc.) have retro-fit kits available that will bring their previously sold products up to current safety standards. Contact the manufacturer to find out if a free kit is available for your product.</p>
<p>3. If possible&#8230;you should consider replacing older window coverings that could pose a safety hazard with one of the many cordless options available in today&#8217;s market. In response to the growing number of recalls on window treatments for the danger posed by exposed cording there have been a wide array of cordless products released on the market. There are cordless options in every area (vertical blinds, shades, roman shades, wood blinds, etc.) The cordless products still offer all the great features consumers are looking for as well as all the great design options.</p>
<p>4. If you need to temporarily provide an immediate &#8220;safety fix&#8221; while you are deciding how to permanently take care of the issue you can follow a few simple steps. First make sure any looping cords are tied down with hold downs. You can also cut them and tie each end with a tassel. Make sure there are no large pieces of furniture placed near window treatments that would increase the probability that a small child would have access to the cording. Basically&#8230;keep all cords out of reach of children.</p>
<p>Immediately taking temporary steps to alleviate any safety issues posed by cords is vital and highly recommended. But more permanent solutions are just as highly encouraged as quickly as possible. For further info on safety regulations and features in products currently on the market as well as older products that may need retro-fitting consumers can contact the Window Covering Safety Council. This organization offers free retro-fit kits for many types of window coverings. If possible homeowners with small children in residence should replace corded product with cordless products as soon as possible. IT is the most effective and permanent solution to the safety issue.</p>

<p>Consumers looking to create a sense of warmth in a home for sale should turn to window shades. It&#8217;s a perfect solution that encourages potential buyers to see the possibilities when they are searching for a home to purchase. Classic window shades installed create a very positive ambience in comparison to bare, stark windows in many vacant properties. The easiest way to separate a home for sale from the herd is to make it look like a home to buyers.</p>
<p>Regardless of the particular housing market the purchase and installation of window shades in a home for sale is an excellent idea. But in a tough market it&#8217;s a necessity. When buyers have their pick of a large number of homes for sale a good real estate agent will know that there are certain steps that should be taken to make a difference. One of these is window shades. It&#8217;s the difference between offering a potential buyer an empty house in comparison to a potential home.</p>
<p>Homeowners with houses on the market looking to buy window shades should always purchase a conservative product. They should never attempt to make the home for sale &#8220;stand out&#8221; with a very specific product. Classic, conservative style will please the majority of buyers. Attempting to please with a very specific style or color will limit the number of potential buyers that agree with the window shades choice.</p>
<p>Some good options when it comes to classy, conservative window shades options include: faux wood horizontal blinds, horizontal wood blinds, roman shades, etc. Always stick to neutral colors/shades. In smaller spaces avoid darker colors. It will increase the room&#8217;s sense of smallness. Good color choices include: tan, white, off white and cream.</p>
<p>Consider the other permanent colors in the room: wall color, color of woodworking, etc. But don&#8217;t feel as if the stain of the blinds or window shades need to match the woodworking stain exactly. This can sometimes be a mistake. Dark woodworking can sometimes be overpowering. If this is the case adding more dark stain to the room will only increase the problem.</p>
<p>Never assume that potential buyers are going to be able to see the possibilities; many lack that sort of imagination. Home sellers are responsible for selling their own home. And one way to make the possibilities apparent is through the purchase and installation of good window shades.</p>

<p>Guiding consumers towards the blinds and/or shades purchases that fulfill their needs takes extensive knowledge and experience. Many buyers begin their search with a clear idea of what they are looking for, but just as many go into the search with little to no idea of what they are looking for. The options are many and it&#8217;s easy for someone outside of the industry to see it as overwhelming without the proper preparation and/or guidance.</p>
<p>In retrospect the same consumers that found the countless options overwhelming often discover that each and every option is there for a reason. Finding out the reason for each option and applying it to the situation at hand makes purchasing the right blinds or shades much more probable. And purchasing the right blinds or shades for the situation at hand equals buyer satisfaction.</p>
<p>The majority of upgrades/options can be divided into one of the main categories: privacy/light control, safety, function or appeal. The first step prior to shopping for blinds or shades is to assign each category a number indicating personal priorities. For instance, if safety is the main concern put it at the top of your list and move down from there.</p>
<p>One of the most popular features in the light control/privacy category is the top down, bottom up feature. This particular feature provides owners with a unique light control ability. The light blocking can be adjusted throughout the day depending upon the needs of the household or office. This category is particularly important to those who require daytime sleep or those who live in regions that experience prolonged daylight hours.</p>
<p>Most blinds and/or shades have added cordless options to their list of features. This is by far the most popular safety feature available in the today&#8217;s market. Cordless features eliminate the danger of dangling cords, etc. The function category includes a wide variety of features from remote control operating to tile cutouts for tight fits in oddly shaped windows. Appeal is just that; options that create a more appealing look for the product. Features that appeal include color options and fabric choices, decorative tapes, valance design, etc.</p>
<p>If consumers know the basics going into the search they are much more likely to come out of the search with an appropriate and satisfactory shades purchase. The right purchase will increase the value of the property, increase the appeal of the interior and exterior decor, and provide the privacy and light control that is necessary in a home or office.</p>

<p>There are advantages and disadvantages to every type of shade offered by any distributor or retail outlet in the window covering industry. It&#8217;s important to know which products provide which benefits in order to fulfill the needs of each room and/or situation. When it comes to solar shades&#8230;the benefits are many and varied which makes them especially popular during the current recession. Solar shades offer more for the money spent.</p>
<p>Solar shades benefits:</p>
<p>1. Glare reduction makes solar shades a perfect choice for many situations.</p>
<p>2. Temperature control: solar shades decrease the amount of heat lost in winter and the amount of heat entry in summer.</p>
<p>3. Energy efficient features of solar shades result in energy bill reduction. Depending upon the situation already present in the home or building owners can benefit from drastically decreased energy bills.</p>
<p>4. The harmful rays of the sun are blocked by solar shades (UVA and UVB). This is a definite health benefit offered to consumers by solar shades.</p>
<p>5. In times of recession there is one thing that is always a priority and that&#8217;s affordability. And solar shades are definitely affordable.</p>
<p>6. The cost of the product is eventually covered by the energy savings. This makes the solar shades more than just affordable; some might say that after a certain amount of time the product is free.</p>
<p>Solar shades are able to block a massive amount of the sun&#8217;s heat (up to 80 to 90%). Solar shades come in a wide selection of colors to accommodate any room decor. They fill the needs of consumers looking for privacy and light control and in addition they block the harmful rays of the sun offering unique health benefits.</p>
<p>Consumers looking to save money love the energy savings. Consumers also appreciate the additional money saving possibilities that it offers by extending the life of furniture. The sun&#8217;s rays can cause extensive damage to many types of furniture (upholstered or not) and solar shades protects against this situation. Experts often encourage consumers to consider solar shades in rooms with high traffic/use as well as rooms that contain expensive items of furniture/decor.</p>

<p>There are definite differences between faux wood window blinds and real wood blinds. But the differences aren&#8217;t easy to spot with the naked eye. But the differences are very easy to spot by studying the specifics of each product.</p>
<p>Affordability is one consideration when considering faux wood window blinds and real wood blinds. Faux wood products in general cost substantially less. Another basic difference is the response to moisture. Wood blinds will obviously not stand up to moisture very well. Faux wood window blinds on the other hand withstand moisture very well. Some designers enjoy the &#8220;warmth&#8221; that real wood products add to an interior space. But because most consumers can&#8217;t tell the difference between real wood and faux wood initially this advantage is questionable.</p>
<p>Real wood blinds are stronger than their faux wood counterparts. But faux wood window blinds weigh more. When considering faux wood window blinds consumers should avoid those with high foam content. Sturdier designs will last longer. High foam content can often leave consumers with blinds that are sagging over time. They also require a higher number of support strings (which is often seen as detracting from the overall visual aesthetics).</p>
<p>Real wood is often seen to offer a few additional design advantages. Real wood products often offer a wider variety of color and stain options than faux wood window blinds products. In some instances faux wood window blinds have been known to yellow after many years.</p>
<p>The major advantage of faux wood window blinds (in addition to the affordability) is the ability to deal well with moisture. Because they deal well with moisture they are the better choice for situations in which they will be exposed to water in the surrounding environment. It also makes them easier to clean. Owners can easily wipe them down with a damp rag. They can also be dusted with a feather duster regularly in order to avoid the need for constant cleaning.</p>
<p>If faux wood window blinds get really dirty they can even be taken outside and sprayed off with the household hose. They can easily be removed, washed, toweled dry and then re-hung. Owners should be careful not to disturb the support strings while they are cleaning.</p>
<p>This easy cleaning is not an option with real wood blinds. Wood blinds should be regularly dusted with a dry feather duster. Because they cannot be sprayed off if they collect dust and grime it&#8217;s very important that they care kept dusted/clean very regularly. Wood blinds cannot withstand the moisture of being cleaned by cleaning products or a damp rag on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Both real wood and faux wood window blinds have their own advantages. Both should be regularly cleaned and maintained for the best function. The main differences are the moisture issue, price, and design options. Consumers should consider the advantages and disadvantages of both in relation to their own situation prior to making their buying decision.</p>

<p>Impatience during the shopping process can lead to overlooking fantastic options. This is especially true when it comes to shopping in the window coverings industry. Consumers tend to go with what they know and what they&#8217;re used to and this can lead to missing products that could provide excellent benefits like cellular shades.</p>
<p>Some of the defining characteristics that are noticeable about cellular shades follow:</p>
<p>1. Energy efficiency is a great benefit. Many are looking for any way to decrease their monthly expenditures during the recession. And investment in cellular shades would result in a decrease of the energy usage as it is one of the best energy efficiency products on the window coverings market. The most energy efficient variety of cellular shades are those with bigger pleats or the triple celled products.</p>
<p>2. Versatility is another important feature of cellular shades. A lot of consumers have a fixed idea in their minds about window coverings. That is the idea that to open the covering you pull the bottom of the shade up. With cellular shades this isn&#8217;t the case. They can be opened up or down. It&#8217;s called top down bottom up. This makes the options when attempting light control and privacy&#8230;extensive.</p>
<p>3. Cellular shades are made from honeycomb fabric. Honeycomb fabric comes in hundreds of designs, colors, and patterns. This is a great design advantage.</p>
<p>4. Another positive of the honeycomb product manufacturers use to create cellular shades is that they offer versatile light control. They can provide a nice, muted light. And the product can also provide total darkness. It all depends on consumer needs.</p>
<p>5. Cellular shades come in different varieties: single cell, double cell, and triple cell. Some have design requirements that lead them to one or the other, but most consider this option in relation to energy efficiency. The triple celled products are the most energy efficient.</p>
<p>6. The pleat size on cellular shades varies by product choice. The size of the pleats can be desirable for design taste. An important aspect to remember is that the bigger the pleat in the product the more insulation power it carries.</p>
<p>Cellular shades are unarguably one of the most energy efficient window shades on the market. They&#8217;re probably one of the most energy efficient window coverings in general, as well. They&#8217;re sometimes called honeycomb shades due to the fabric used in manufacturing, but regardless of what name they are given by consumers&#8230;the important thing is to know the benefits of the product. Knowing the benefits of the product will lead consumers to the window covering products that most adequately suit their needs.</p>
