1. Energy Efficiency That Pays Off
Commercial spaces in Northern Virginia face fluctuating temperatures, making energy efficiency a must. Custom roller shades and solar shades offer built-in energy savings by helping regulate indoor temperatures.
-
In summer, these shades reflect sunlight, keeping your space cooler and reducing air conditioning costs.
-
In winter, they add insulation, helping retain heat and reduce heating bills.
-
The right fabric and opacity can help you save on utility costs while maintaining a professional appearance.
Bonus: Solar shades also reduce glare, improving the comfort of employees and customers, especially in office environments.
2. Modern Aesthetic Meets Branding
Your business space is a reflection of your brand. With custom window treatments, you can achieve the perfect balance of style and functionality. Whether you’re after sleek, clean lines or soft, luxurious textures, our custom shades help set the tone for your business.
You can even customize fabrics, valances, and control options to match your brand’s colors and aesthetic. Our design experts will guide you through swatches and samples to ensure you find the perfect fit.
3. Privacy and Light Control Where It Matters
Different businesses have different privacy needs. A medical office, law firm, or financial advisor’s office will benefit from shades that offer privacy, such as cellular or zebra shades. On the other hand, a café or retail space may want to control natural light while avoiding glare.
Our motorized or cordless options let you adjust light levels with ease, ensuring comfort and privacy throughout the day. With our smart automation options, you can even schedule your shades to open and close automatically, ensuring perfect lighting at all times.
4. Safety and Compliance
Cordless and motorized window treatments are essential for both style and safety in commercial spaces. Businesses like pediatric offices, daycare centers, and schools require window treatments that are safe for children and compliant with current regulations.
Made in the Shade Northern Virginia offers a range of OSHA-compliant window treatments, including those from Norman Shutters, Graber, and Insolroll. Choose from cordless lift systems that eliminate hazards, ensuring both safety and compliance.
5. Motorization and Smart Control
In today’s fast-paced business environment, efficiency is key. Our motorized window shades integrate seamlessly with your existing smart systems, such as Google Assistant, Alexa, or a custom Building Management System (BMS).
Motorized shades are perfect for environments that require frequent adjustments, such as conference rooms, storefronts, and spaces that need to adjust to varying light throughout the day. They are also ideal for hard-to-reach areas or large windows.
6. Custom Sizes for Unique Architecture
Northern Virginia is home to a variety of architectural styles, from modern office buildings to historic storefronts. Custom shades are essential when dealing with unique architectural features like large windows, angled glass, or distinctive shapes.
We offer fully customizable window treatments in terms of size, shape, and hardware finish. Our expert installers ensure a clean, secure fit, leaving your space looking polished and professional.
7. Durability and Long-Term Value
Unlike off-the-shelf products, our commercial-grade window treatments are built to last. With durable materials from top brands like Alta Window Fashions and Insolroll, you can rest assured that your investment will pay off for years to come.
Whether you’re outfitting a high-traffic office or completing a large-scale installation, we offer warranties and guidance to help you select the best product for your needs.
