Product catalog summary
Overview: This document from Solar Innovations, Inc. provides detailed information on various shade options available for conservatories and sunrooms. It includes specifications, configurations, and recommendations for different types of blinds and shades.
Pinoleum Blinds: Traditionally used in conservatories and sunrooms, these blinds are made of wooden reeds woven together to diffuse light, reducing heat and glare. Available in manual or motorized options, they are operable in most angled corners and generally mounted at the eave. Not recommended for humid environments like pool enclosures or greenhouses due to potential material damage.
Gravity Fed Shades: Suitable for sloped roofs and vertical walls, these shades fit between rafters and operate with a motor or manual pull cord. They are operable in rectangular sections and fixed in angled corners, mounted at the ridge, and roll down to the eave. They can be used in moist environments.
Pleated Shades: Used in roofs and vertical walls, pleated shades provide a visual pattern and soften daylight. They are operable in angled corners and suitable for extremely humid environments. Available in various colors, they are mounted at the eave and pull upwards toward the ridge.
Wide Span Horizontal Shades: These shades extend from eave to eave or follow the slope of a glass structure, trapping heat above them to keep living spaces cooler. They are fully operable and available in various fabric, color, and texture options.
Solar R Blinds: Designed to increase energy efficiency and control temperature, these blinds have an aluminum backing to reflect solar rays. Suitable for sloped and vertical applications, they are not recommended for humid environments. Custom cassette colors are available.
Additional Information: Custom shade options include fixed, external removable, and retractable options. The document notes that sheer weave style shades can inhibit plant growth by blocking 90% of UV light when closed. Color illustrations may vary from actual samples, and physical samples are recommended for final color selection.
