Hi Maria, we typically recommend blackout to keep the light out of the bedroom.

Which shades would you recommend for a screen porch? We need to block the afternoon sun.
Asked by Frances L ·
Hi Frances, 1% will block the most sunlight. If you want to maintain your view, I would recommend a 3% or 5%, the UV Rays, will still be either 97% or 95% blocked.

We are currently building a four season porch, a lot of windows, and I'm torn between the solar shades and cellular shades. We want the room to be as energy efficient as possible, but also maintain our privacy. What would you recommend?
Asked by Londa W ·
Hi lswalker, I would recommend Cellular Shades in this instance. They will maintain both energy efficiency and privacy. So long as they are not exposed to weather, they are fine.

Do these help with winter insulation as well to keep the cold out/heat in? How do they compare with insulating quality of cellular blinds?
Asked by Laurie ·
Hi Laurie, these just reduce UV Rays, making sunny homes cooler. However, they do not necessarily improve insulation. Our cellular shades are our primary insulating shade.

A 11/4 decuction on inside width is A LOT - thus leaving LIGHT and HEAT enter. Is this essential and what is min. required. Second how much HEAT transfer to inside with these? For heat from sun reduction what is best option product?
Asked by Martine ·
Hi Mara, it's only 1/8-1/2 inch deduction on inside mounts. And then the fabric has about 1/2 inch deduction from the headrail, otherwise it would get caught in the rollers used for the function. These are measured by UV rays, rather than heat reduction. The lower the percentage, the more UV Rays are blocked. Their sole purpose is for UV rays but in blocking the light, they also reduce the heat, so while I can't give an accurate answer to how much heat transfers inside, I can tell you that it does reduce the amount of heat coming in by blocking those UV rays. If keeping the cold air in, while the sun is shining down, we might recommend Cellular shades as they create a barrier between the window surface and the room.

How can these be cleaned? can they be soaked and washed with soap? I had Cellular shades but they get so dusty and are hard to clean. thanks.
Asked by Vanessa ·
Hi Vanessa, We do not recommend soaking them but we do suggest using a damp cloth with a mild detergent such as Dawn to clean them. Thank you for your time.
