Energy Efficient Cooling with EcoSmart Roller Shades

As the summer kicks into full swing, and the sweltering temperatures start to linger inside, an investment in shades is a worthy one.

Thanks to EcoSmart Roller Shades, effective window treatments don't mean forfeiting sunny days or beautiful vacation house views.

EcoSmart shades, available at EcoSmartRollerShades.com or at retailers nationwide, have the added benefit of saving you bundles on cooling costs this summer.

And bad memories of battling the flimsy, flapping spring-retracting roller shade of yesteryear are stamped out by EcoSmart. With balanced resistance and a chain-driven mechanism, those days are over.

Because they are available in cloth, EcoSmart Roller Shades add class, beauty, and personality to any room. The shades are perfect for summer homes, or year-round residences, especially in regions where relaxation is often at the mercy of the air-conditioning unit.

Roller shades not only beat the heat, but offer gradations of shade-blocking, from 100% blackout to the new 27% visibility shade which is the perfect option for locations needing protection that won't hinder the pristine views.

Rollers are also a fantastic alternative for city dwellers in new-construction apartments that feature large areas of glass in need of treatments.

All shades are made to specification so even tricky windows can be covered.

Available in a variety of neutral colors and textures, with free swatches available, EcoSmart shades are an economical and health-conscious alternative to draperies .

How roller shades save money:

• SilverScreen(TM) fabric with aluminum on the back keeps your home cool by reflecting the sun before it hits the window, keeping your room’s temperature consistently comfortable.
• reducing the work of air-conditioning systems greatly cuts back electric bills
• reducing the output of your A/C extends the lifespan of your cooling appliances
• the shades can pay for themselves in under a year!
