Manually operated shades reduce solar heat and glare at Triangle-area recreation centers
Solar heat gain is a common problem for recreation centers in the Triangle area. The center’s energy-efficient design makes full use of daylight, but as a result, glare and solar heat gain can be an issue. Made in the Shade Raleigh was able to help solve this problem by providing manual roller shades that are deployed as needed to block the sun and control the heat coming into the rec centers.
Popular shades for heat and light control
Whether you are looking to filter the light and reduce glare or completely block the sun, Made in the Shade Raleigh has several options of shades to choose from.
Roller shades are a popular choice for residential, commercial and public spaces. They are versatile and can be used for privacy, light control and decoration. Roller shades are easy to install and can be cut to size for custom applications. They come in a variety of fabrics and colors, so you can find one that matches your decor. Roller shades are available in both manual and motorized models. The motors are usually controlled by remote control, but some models also have wall-mounted push buttons. Manual roller shades are operated by hand to lower and raise as needed.
Solar shades are another great option for controlling the amount of light that enters your space. Solar shades are available in different degrees of openness, which determines the level of UV protection and view to the outside. Solar shades help control glare and are an energy-efficient option for reducing energy costs.
Professional installation
