Lifetime Guarantees on them all, but the real deal is in the details.
6. What are the most insulating blinds?
They both have a hollow inner core that slows heat transfer in the summer and in the winter.
Ideal for Southern exposures or draughty windows. Save energy with one of these two products.
There is a fantastic range of colours and fabrics for the honeycombs.
(call Paul for the samples )
7. What are Shutters made from?
Vinyl is the most popular as it never needs to be done again.
Plus it is the most economical with 20 yrs plus warranties.
8. Have you something to knock down the suns glare and harmful UV rays (Radiation)?
Glad you asked. We have a huge selection of sunscreen fabrics designed to knock the glare down and block the UV Rays. These products are used in many coffee shops, Medical centres and offices. But there are Sun Screens designed more for residential settings.
The UV will damage your floors and furniture no matter how good the glass in the windows is So if you are facing the sun for any length of time this is a great product.
Ask Paul for details.
8. Do you sell awnings?
Yes, I do. We have a few good companies that we deal with to get a selection of fabrics and styles. I like to sell awnings that last. So an awning with a 10 yr fabric warranty is what I am looking to sell most of the time. Do it once and do it right. It can be a big investment so we
Get it right the first time.
Again we have Motorized or manual transmissions. With wind sensors where needed.
Awnings are like an extension of your home. Creating a comfortable safe surrounding for you and your family to dine outdoors.
No more chasing that umbrella or fighting for the seat out of the sun.
Best time to order awnings is in March or April. To have them here for the summer.
