When you are outside and need a relief from the sun, you can find comfort from the shade of a large tree. Inside your home, window shades allow you to choose the amount of light you let in any time of the day. They are also very energy efficient and provide privacy and security from any outside viewing.

Window shades are available in several varieties and utilize many types of fabric. At Blind Express, we will customize your shade to match your home’s décor and personality. Depending on the type of shade you prefer, the shade’s fabric will vary. Some of the shade fabrics we carry include vinyl, regular fabric, polyester, light filtering fabric, laminate, wood, fiber, bamboo, and reeds and grass. There are distinct advantages to each style of shade, and our design consultants at Blind Express can expertly explain each type to help you decide which is right for you.

Roman Shades

With their neatly sown folds, roman shades are able to elegantly decorate a window. Roman shades, also known as fabric shades, combine the beauty of a fabric window treatment, like draperies or curtains, with the ease and efficiency of a blind. You can choose from flat fold or teardrop style depending on the particular look you desire. They can also be further customized to include insulating capabilities, room darkening features, and light filtering layers. For a classic shade in a variety of colors, styles, and features, roman shades create a simple, sophisticated look for any room.

Solar Shades

Made with a special solar fabric, solar shades are able to absorb heat for energy efficiency, reduce glare on your windows, and protect you and your décor from harmful UV rays. They are also available in varying degrees of opaqueness, or openness, for your personal light control. For the winter months, solar fabric shades allow the sun’s warmth to be absorbed and help to heat a room.

Honeycomb Cellular Shades

Another type of window shade to consider is honeycomb cellular shades. These differ from other shades because of their unique design. Honeycomb shades are made of two or three pieces of layered fabric which are formed into a honeycomb shape. The pockets that are made trap air and make these shades extremely energy efficient. Over time, honeycomb shades pay for themselves by saving you money on your energy bills.

Motorized Shades

Motorization is a special function of shades. For businesses and homes, motorized shades are becoming more and more popular. Rather than having to get up just to adjust the shade, you can easily adjust it with the push of a button. At Blind Express, we can customize your motorization feature to work through a remote control, wall switch, laptop, or using smart home technology. We can also put your shades on a timer. Because motorized shades lack a cord, you no longer have to worry about children or pets getting tangled up in any hanging cords or drawstrings.
