Common Questions
What's the best shade for blocking heat in South Florida?
Solar shades are the gold standard for heat control. They block up to 99% of UV rays while preserving your view — you can still see out, but the heat and glare stay outside. For west-facing windows that take a beating from the afternoon sun, we typically recommend a 3-5% openness factor. For east-facing windows with gentler morning light, 10-14% works well.
What's the difference between cellular and roller shades?
Cellular (honeycomb) shades trap air in their cells, providing superior insulation — they're the most energy-efficient shade you can buy. Roller shades have a slimmer profile and a more modern, minimalist look. Both come in light-filtering and blackout options. If energy savings are your priority, go cellular. If clean aesthetics matter most, go roller.
Can shades be motorized?
Almost any shade type can be motorized — solar, roller, cellular, and roman shades all have motorized options. You can control them via remote, smartphone app, or voice assistant (Alexa, Google, HomeKit). Battery-powered motors mean no wiring is needed. We recommend motorization for hard-to-reach windows, large window walls, and anyone who wants smart home integration.
How do I choose between sheer, light-filtering, and blackout?
It depends on the room. Living rooms and kitchens usually work best with light-filtering or sheer fabrics that let in natural light while reducing glare. Bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms typically need blackout for sleep and darkness. Many of our customers mix — light-filtering in shared spaces, blackout in private rooms. We bring fabric samples to your home so you can see exactly how each opacity looks in your actual lighting.
