Roller Shades In Springfield
Roller & Solar Shades in Springfield, IL
Springfield, Illinois summers are hot and humid, and the afternoon sun through a big back window can heat up a family room and put glare across every screen in the house. Our Solar Shield Blinds Roller Shades, including solar shades in screen fabrics, take that sun off your furniture and floors, then roll up out of the way when you want the whole view back.
Where It Fits In Springfield
Where Roller Shades Fit In Springfield
From family rooms on the west side of town to offices near the Capitol, Roller Shades are the simplest way we know to control the light at a window.
- Family Rooms On The West SideBack windows and patio doors that face the afternoon sun are where a screen fabric does its best work. A 3% screen cuts the heat and glare and still lets you see the backyard during the day.
- Home OfficesA computer monitor you can't read at certain times of day is one of the problems we hear about most. A light filtering fabric keeps the office bright and takes the direct sunlight off the screen.
- Offices Near The CapitolWe serve businesses as well as homes, and Roller Shades are a great fit for offices, conference rooms and restaurants. A motor can run a whole row of them together from one button.
- Bedrooms And NurseriesBlackout fabric with side and bottom channels makes a bedroom dark enough to sleep in on a summer afternoon. Cordless, PowerWand and Motorized options leave no cord loop anywhere near the crib.
Choosing The Right Fabric
The fabric decides how your Roller Shades work
The Sherwood subdivision, south of Wabash Avenue between Chatham Road and Veterans Parkway, put its first lots up for sale in 1959 and kept adding streets for the next twenty years, and in 2022 it was the largest single family subdivision in Springfield. Whether your home was built in that era or more recently farther out on the west side, the windows facing west take the full afternoon sun. A Roller Shade is one of the most popular solutions we offer for those windows, because it does its job when it's down and it nearly disappears when it's up.
The most important choice is the fabric. The percentage on a screen fabric tells you how open the weave is, so a 10% screen keeps a crisp view out and cuts some glare and heat, and a 3% screen gives you better daytime privacy with a softer view. Keep in mind that any screen fabric becomes see through at night once the lights are on inside, so bedrooms and street facing rooms do better with a light filtering, room darkening or blackout fabric. We carry thousands of fabrics, and your Design Specialist will help you narrow them down to the right type first, then the color and texture.
Next comes the operating system: Chain Loop, Cordless, PowerWand or Motorized. On a wide patio door or a row of tall windows, a motor lets you run every shade together with one button. The top of the shade can stay an open roll, or be covered with a cassette, fascia or cornice. Your Design Specialist brings all of it to your Springfield home, measures every window, and gives you an exact quote on the spot. Your shades go in 4 to 6 weeks after you order, and most projects are finished in less than a day.

Straight Answers
Roller Shades questions from Springfield homeowners
Yes, it will take a good amount of it out. A screen fabric stops the direct sunlight before it reaches your floors and furniture, and a 3% screen holds back more heat than a 10% screen. Your Design Specialist will hold the samples up at your window so you can see how each one looks in your own light.
No, not when the fabric is a screen. Once the lights are on inside, people outside can see through any screen. Light filtering, decorative, room darkening and blackout fabrics are private day and night, and a dual roller shade puts a screen and a private fabric on one bracket so you can choose depending on the time of day.
Yes. Roller Shades work well on sliding glass doors, and a motor makes a wide door simple to run with one button. We measure the door and check the handle clearance at your consultation, so the shade clears everything and there are no surprises on install day.
Yes. We serve businesses as well as homes, and Roller Shades are a great fit for offices, conference rooms and restaurants where you need light control without losing the view. Your Design Specialist will meet you at your building, look at every opening, and give you an exact quote.
