Growth in Green Building Utilizing Roller Shades

There is increasing interest in designing and retrofitting commercial and residential buildings to use less energy, with cooling costs topping the list of areas for improvement.  High performance roller shade fabrics offer some of the best heat reduction available today while maintaining a modern aesthetic.  In fact, paired roller shades with your home or office automation systems offer greater energy benefits. This is why we work with the best in the business for planning and installing these high tech solutions.  Our "green" clientele love our motorized and automated solutions.

Although green construction has a higher build cost initially, it is generally accepted that the lowered annual operating costs of a green constructed home or work space will pay back the investment over 7 years for a new build, and 4 years for a retrofit. This payback, along with the increased value of a green building as an asset, as well as the positive social and environmental implications offers financial sensibility and enhanced quality of life. 

Solar roller shades are “green” in two ways:

• They are energy efficiency which results in overall reduction in energy usage
• And, they are made from environmentally friendly processes and fabric's.
