Roller Shades

Research indicates that students perform better with access to views and natural light. Creating this improved learning environment requires that schools eliminate glare and reflections caused by direct sunlight.

• Shades are GREENGUARD Children and Schools^SM certified, and GREENGUARD certified for microbial resistance
• Wide selection of FR-rated fabrics, from light filtering to room-darkening

Aluminum Blinds

One of the best, most versatile devices for shading, aluminum blinds can be raised or lowered to control light and glare. They can also tilt to match the position of the sun and achieve the right quantity of light at any given time of day.

• Innovative range of finishes, dozens of colors, and custom colors
• Blinds are GREENGUARD Children and Schools^SM certified

External Solutions

Shades, blinds, and louvers mounted outside offer the best performance by controlling light and heat from the sun before it enters a school. Designed for use in a wide variety of hot and cold climates, external shades reduce building energy consumption and can pay for themselves in as little as 3 years.

• Motorized shades raise and lower automatically as needed
• External blinds can tilt to redirect light into a building
• External systems are engineered to withstand wind and weather
• By managing light and heat at the window, shading solutions generate energy savings that can reach 50% or more.

Motorized external roller shades manage the sun's energy very effectively, controlling light and heat before it reaches the building. With the proper shading fabrics, glare is filtered before it can impact learning performance and views to the outside are not interrupted.

External motorized louvered blinds optimize performance by tilting to provide shading at varying sun angles. Similarly, daylighting blinds can tilt to bounce light off the ceiling and redirect it deeper into a space.

By shading the building façade, sun louvers control the amount of heat that can enter, helping limit cooling and heating loads. They can also ensure visual comfort by controlling glare. Sun louvers not only deliver outstanding functionality, but also create a distinctive look.
