Reduce Blinding Glare & Solar Heat Gain
Maximize your comfort and protect your home’s interior with premium custom solar shades in Southeast Grand Rapids. Solar shades are the perfect marriage of modern innovation and practical design. At Made in the Shade, Chrissy Bowen offers an elite selection of solar shades engineered to filter out up to 99% of harmful UV rays while allowing you to maintain your clear view of the outdoors. It is the premier choice for West Michigan homeowners who want to enjoy the sunshine without the uncomfortable heat and glare that comes with it.
In West Michigan, our homes are increasingly designed with massive picture windows and sun-drenched Great Rooms. While beautiful, these windows in Ada and Cascade can create a “greenhouse effect,” making your home uncomfortably hot and causing your Consumers Energy cooling bills to skyrocket. Furthermore, the intense afternoon sun can quickly fade your expensive hardwood floors, curated artwork, and furniture. Our solar shades act as a protective shield, significantly reducing solar heat gain and providing “preventative care” for your home’s interior.
Perfect for home offices, media rooms, and sunny morning rooms in East Grand Rapids or Forest Hills, solar shades eliminate screen glare, making remote work and movie nights much more enjoyable. For the ultimate modern convenience, we can integrate smart-motorized solar shades into your home automation system. Contact Chrissy today for a free in-home consultation, and let her bring the showroom to you to find the perfect weave and transparency for your specific needs.
