Perhaps you have upper windows that require shading from the harsh glare or heat transfer into your home.  Motorized window shades may be the solution you are looking for, as trying to adjust these out of reach window shades manually can be problematic.

Did you know that we can motorize window shades that you can control with your smart phone or tablet? We can even install them to work with a voice control system, like "Alexa." 

You can set schedules for the shades to open or close and control them even when you are away from home.  When you choose a motorized window shade, you can also eliminate dangling cords.

In the commercial setting, perhaps you work where there are too many windows to operate the shades manually, so motorization becomes a nice option to make your time more efficient.

If you are interested in the convenience of motorized window shades, please contact us today and a friendly member of our team will call you back.  Thanks for your interest in Latreia Blinds and Shutters!

If you have a media room, bedroom, or home office in your residential setting where complete privacy is required, then blackout roller shades may be right for you!

Perhaps you work a non-traditional schedule, and need to darken your room to the maximum level to enhance your quality of sleep.

Blackout roller shades are completely opaque and allow no light to filter in, providing maximum privacy.

If complete blackout of light is desired, and you don't want light filtering in around the edges of the roller shades, then blackout shades with optional hardware accessories can be utilized, as seen in the picture above.  The picture features "side tracks" which can capture almost all of the light leakage at the edges.  "Sill channels" are another option to eliminate leakage of light at the window sill.

As an additional feature, blackout shades can also be motorized. There are sixteen styles of fabric, and are also offered in sixty-nine color and texture combinations.  They range from rough textured to easily wipeable textures.

We also offer blackout roller shade solutions for commercial applications!

Whatever your need, we are happy to provide a free consultation to discuss what will work best for you. Contact us today!

In the photo above, we find a fixed solar skylight shade in a residential setting. They provide an affordable solution to control glare and heat from a skylight, and they can also be temporarily removed in the wintertime if more light or heat transfer is desired.

These solar skylight shades are constructed with a spring tension rod at both ends of the shade panels.  For longer windows, we can add intermediate spring tension rods to support the shade.

In a commercial setting, we can also configure solar shades to cut the heat and glare produced by overhead glass.  The beauty of these products is that they preserve the natural light that is desired, while cutting down on heat transfer and glare.  If you require a a motorized skylight shade application for your residential or commercial application, we have one of the best teams in the industry to tackle your project.

At the top and bottom of the shade panels are spring tension rods.  The rods can also be added in the middle of the window to provide additional support.

If you are interested in solar roller shades to help with your skylights, please contact our helpful staff today and we will provide you with a free in-home or business estimate.

Architects are designing modern spaces with plenty of bright open windows. This is a beautiful design concept, but in the practical sense, can provide glare and uncomfortable heat.

This is where solar shades come in handy!  They control glare, heat, and UV rays. 

When choosing a fabric color, remember that lighter colors tend to block heat better, whereas darker colors block out the glare better.  High performance solar fabrics block both heat and glare and are offered in every color, and help to keep the overall temperature of the room cooler.

Now let's get a little bit technical.  Solar shades are very precisely engineered and woven to produce a "fabric openness."  This openness factor will determine how much light is allowed through the shade, and also how much heat is reflected away from the room. Certain fabrics we offer are from 1% to 14% open to determine how much light and heat are allowed.  In combination with the fabric color that is chosen, these percentages will determine how well the final product controls heat and glare and also determines UV performance.

Solar shades can provide a level of daytime privacy, not unlike sheer draperies do, but are in fact, much more energy efficient. If daytime privacy is required, you may want to choose a 1% or 3% open fabric.

If solar shades are of interest to you, please don't hesitate to contact our helpful staff today for a free in-home estimate.

Decorative window shades come in many patterns and colors!  You may choose between 5 opacity levels: sheer, semi-sheer, solar screen, translucent, and blackout. 

If you want to be able to see the objects on the outside, then sheer may be right for you.  If you want objects to appear partially obscured- providing various levels of privacy, then semi-sheer may work best for you.

The solar screen provides a screen fabric offering a variable outdoor view depending on the fabric and color chosen. They are made to control the glare in the room and the heat transferred from the outside.

Translucent decorative window shades offers light filtering abilities with no view through- where objects shadows may appear.

Blackout offers the most privacy with no view through abilities. Outdoor objects are not visible with blackout window shades.

These shades are offered in subtle patterned fabrics, woven natural textures, and standard solid colors.

Whatever opacity style, fabric, or color you choose, you are in control when it comes to deciding what works best for your space.  If you are interested in a free in-home estimate, contact our friendly staff today and we will call you back. Now what could be easier than that?
