Roller Shades In Peoria
Roller Shades & Solar Shades in Peoria, IL
Homes on the bluffs of Peoria, Illinois look out over the river and Peoria Lake, and a lot of bright morning sun comes in off the water. Our Solar Shield Blinds Roller Shades, including solar shades made from a screen fabric, soften that light and take the glare out of the room while you keep your view of the water.
Where It Fits In Peoria
Where Roller Shades Work Best In Peoria
Peoria climbs from the riverfront up onto the bluffs and keeps going north, so the windows here run from converted warehouse lofts downtown to brand new great rooms at the north end of the city.
- Windows Facing The WaterPeoria Lake lies along the east side of the city, so a window that looks out over the water faces the morning sun. A 3% screen blocks the direct heat and glare and leaves you a softer view of the lake with good daytime privacy.
- Lofts In The Warehouse DistrictSome of the converted warehouse lofts downtown have steel casement windows and a clean, open feel. A Roller Shade in a square cassette keeps that look simple and rolls up out of the way when you want the whole window back.
- Home OfficesGlare on a computer monitor is one of the reasons we get called into homes. A screen fabric takes the glare off your screen through the workday and keeps the room bright.
- Primary BedroomsBlackout fabric on its own leaves a thin line of light down each side, and side and bottom channels close that off so the bedroom stays dark into the morning.
Choosing Your Fabric
The Right Fabric For Every Window In Your Peoria Home
Roller Shades are about as simple as a window covering gets, and the fabric does all of the work. The number to know is openness, which is how much of the weave is open. A 10% screen keeps a very crisp view out and cuts some of the glare, a 3% screen gives you better daytime privacy and blocks more direct heat, and decorative and light filtering fabrics give you full privacy both day and night.
Here in Peoria, the right choice depends on which way the window faces and what is on the other side of it. A window that looks out toward the lake or down the river valley is worth keeping open to the view, so a screen fabric is the natural fit there. A bedroom or front room that faces the street is a different story, and a light filtering or blackout fabric gives you privacy at any time of day.
We have thousands of roller shade fabrics, so your Design Specialist brings the samples to your home and holds them up against your own windows, because the colors outside the glass change how a screen fabric looks from inside. Every shade is built to the measurements we take, and you'll have an exact quote before we leave. Our lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order to installation, and our Install Techs finish most projects in less than a day.

Straight Answers
Roller Shades questions from Peoria homeowners
No, not with a screen fabric. With a 10% screen the view out stays sharp, and a 3% screen softens it a little while adding privacy and blocking more of the heat. Your Design Specialist will hold both up against your window so you can see the difference for yourself.
Yes. Every shade is custom made to the exact measurements we take, and your Design Specialist checks the depth of the window and any hardware before recommending a mount. A cassette or fascia across the top gives the window a clean, finished line that suits a loft.
Yes, they help a great deal. The screen stops a large share of the sun's heat right at the window, and a tighter weave stops more of it. Peoria summers are hot and humid, so for a west facing wall of glass, ask your Design Specialist about an exterior shade mounted outside the window as well.
Yes. Three of our four operating systems leave nothing hanging at the window: Cordless Lift, where you push the bottom rail up or pull it down, PowerWand, and Motorized. Where a chain loop makes sense on a very high window, we anchor it with a child safe hold down.
Yes. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks between the day you order and the day our Install Techs arrive. We install Free Temporary Shades on the windows you've ordered for, so you have privacy while you wait, and your Design Specialist will give you the most current dates when you place your order.
Yes. A soft cloth or a feather duster takes care of the dust, and for a deeper clean you can vacuum gently with a brush attachment. Screen fabrics can be spot cleaned with a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a mild detergent, blotting rather than rubbing, and our Use & Maintenance Guide covers the rest.
