Windows Design Dilemma

Roller Shade Question- Pls post pics!

8 years ago

Does anyone have a roller shade that they have/use/love? I have a back bay window overlooking my backyard that I keep open all day to see the pool and backyard, but need to pull the shade in the evening bc the west sun beats down in at that point. Any thoughts? Please post pics if you have them!

Thanks!

Use solar shades they allow the view and keep out the heat and the UV rays they do however not give privacy at night but I don’t think in your situation that is an issue.I use the 10% almost all the time for your space BTW the darker the color of the shade the better the illusion it is not there

When it comes to privacy and light management, bottom up top down operating pleated blinds are your best option...they are free adjustable in your window and you can move them exactly where you need them...
