Southwest Blinds & Shutters Has The
Bespoke Options To Keep You Cool

If you’ve settled on window shades for your Phoenix home, you may be feeling a little lost. Plenty of customers settle on shades only to find that these window treatments come in a variety of styles – and they don’t know which to choose.

It can be surprising how many window treatments are available when you work with a true professional like Southwest Blinds & Shutters. So how do customers choose?

The easiest way to narrow down your selection is to identify your goal for your new window treatments.

Here in the greater Phoenix Area, one of the more common goals is to help keep the inside of your home cool.

Curious which shades impact your home’s temperature? We can help!

Dual Window Shades

Dual window shades are a flexible option for homeowners who want to be able to see outside while keeping cool and maintaining privacy.

Specially woven layers of striped fabric can change alignment to allow you to enjoy your view, let in light, or block out the sun.

With these shades, you can enjoy the light of sheer drapery in the morning and switch to full coverage shades when the sun gets high and things heat up.

These shades also come with privacy options that can allow you to see outside without your neighbors being able to look in.

Solar Window Shades

Solar shades are well loved for their ability to help homeowners beat the heat. These special shades have an impressive ability to block the sun, including UV rays!

They still let light in, but they greatly reduce your home’s solar heat gain, keeping you cool as a cucumber.

The high-tech, tightly woven fabric of solar shades is carefully engineered for the perfect combination of reflecting and absorbing sunlight to match your desired amount of light.

And with Southwest Blinds & Shutters, you can customize them to your heart’s content, selecting from a variety of colors and styles. You can even get motorized versions that open and close at the click of a button.

Cellular Window Shades

Cellular window shades are one of the best options for beating the heat. These geometric beauties are great for filtering out the sun, just like most shades, but they have another perk.

The cells these shades are named for are composed of empty spaces between two layers of window shade fabric. These cells make it easy to fold up the shade. But, more importantly, this space holds a pocket of air, offering improved insulation for your windows.

With these air pockets, your home will stay nice and cool during the summer months.

Roman Window Shades

Roman window shades, much like cellular shades, form air pockets in the material they’re made of. For Roman shades, that’s due to soft fabric that drapes in beautiful layers.

These fabrics aren’t quite as insulating as modern cellular shades, but for homeowners who want to beat the heat without sacrificing style, they’re perfect.

With a range of beautiful custom fabrics and a design that’s been loved for centuries, you can’t go wrong with Roman shades.

They’re a great choice for homeowners who want to combine extra insulation with timeless style.
