New, Custom Solar Shades that offer Energy Efficiency & Value to any Commercial Space
Window Interiors has committed nearly 20 years into the evolution of WI SHADES. Window Interiors fabricates these hand-crafted solar shades in its Altamonte Springs facility. WI Shades offer the superior quality of sustainable, custom and regionally produced shades using Phifer SheerWeave fabrics.
Windows are the greatest source of wasted energy in any facility. That is because heat always moves from warm to cold areas. Energy efficient solar shades are the most cost-effective way you can help your building reduce utility bills. Solar Shades act as a barrier to heat flow, trapping air between the shade and the window, saving money on energy costs.
WI Shades are sustainable window treatments made of exceptionally durable, low-maintenance fabrics that are available in a variety of new, stylish colors and textures. The shade cloth is stain-resistant, fade-resistant, and easy to clean and retains a life-span of a minimum of 20 years. The shades are UV resistant, fire-retardant, antimicrobial, antibacterial and fungal resistant.
Many of the Phifer SheerWeave fabrics were the first ever solar shade materials to be awarded the GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification standard for Low Emitting Products. GREENGUARD is a requirement referenced in the LEED for Commercial Interiors Rating System. WI Shades fabrics are produced using 100% recyclable, biodegradable materials, a major advancement in sustainable window treatment technology.
Currently, WI Shades offer manual solar shades for all windows and will soon offer motorized solar shade options to Federal buyers as well as the private sector market.
