Category: Sun control shades

Taking your window treatments from ordinary to awesome, Sheerweave solar shades provide a new way to block harmful UV rays. Our Sun Control Shades are constructed from a unique PVC coated fiberglass yarn that will also reduce glare and heat. When your goal is to flood the room with natural light, the solution is to use Phifer Sun Control Shades!

Sheerweave means no more fading! That's right. Your drapes and carpets will no longer wear the mark of the sun. And, when you want to bring the outside in without losing your privacy, these Sun Control Shades will definitely do the trick.

One thing to be aware of is that when you use Sun Control Shades it is a good idea to close your curtains during the evening hours to maintain privacy. In dimly lit rooms, this will not be an issue, however when you use bright interior lighting you will lose the privacy protection as a result of the sheer fabrics used in construction.

We've eliminated the spring roller! Phifer Sun Control Shades employ a Continuous Loop Clutch. We've combined form and function, and this Continuous Loop Clutch will provide you with easy lifting and lowering. Unlike other retailers, we include the Continuous Loop Clutch at no additional cost.

The lower right photo shows our Phifer Sheerweave Shades in the Roman Fold Style. The shade lifts and folds as it gathers at each horizontal seam as shown on right.

Product Description:

Sol-Shade 1% are perfect if you are needing to cut out the direct sunlight but would still like to have some view. The solar shades will offer light reduction while keeping the heat and the cold out and will offer some privacy. Fabric composition is 25% fiberglass and 75% PVC. Light vacuuming or wiping them down with a damp cloth with mild detergent is all you need to do to keep them looking great. The brackets are mounted on each end of the roller so the material starts a little ways in from the end leaving a gap down both sides of the fabric. This gap will let light into the room. If this is an issue you may want to do draperies or side panels that will cover the sides of the roller shades. The roller shades come with a clutch lift mechanism making them very easy to lift and lower and making them easy to stop at whatever height you want unlike the spring roller shades that are very hard to adjust.

Features:
Continuous Loop Cord Lift comes standard.
Standard Roll or Reverse Roll.
3% Openness factor
Cassette System & Motorized optional (Motor made by Somfy, See Available Options tab below for pricing).
NOTE: These have rather large deductions to fabric width. See specs tab below for details.

Elite warrants forever the aluminum tube against defects in workmanship or materials. All fabrics and chain operation are warranted for 3 year against defect in workmanship and materials. Spring mechanisms are warranted for 1 year against defects in workmanship and materials.The wearing of the cord control is be considered as normal wear and tear and is not covered under this warranty..

One coupler set is needed per intermediate bracket and includes one male and one female coupler plus a plastic wrench. Both couplers feature retractable idler pins for easy installation.

This feature ensures each bottom rail is properly aligned and all shades are the same height.

General Information

Dye Lot

Colours of dye lots may vary within commercial tolerances. Colours of fabrics may vary from samples. We cannot guarantee exact dye lots as sampled.THIS APPLIES TO ALL PRODUCT LINES. If two or more shades are butted together or installed in the same room, it is the Dealer's responsibility to inform us when placing the order so that the shades will be cut from the same dye lot.Matching dye lots may cause delay in delivery. We cannot guarantee dye lots on subsequent or different orders.

Chain and Motor Controls

Always specify if roller shade is to have left or right hand chain or motor controls. If not specified, factory will supply right control. If extra long or short chains are required,please specify at time of order.

Measuring Information

Measuring

Accurate measurements are essential. Be sure to use a quality steel tape since cloth tapes or wood rulers are not dependable for precise measurements. Measure all windows, even though they may appear to be identical.The factory will make the blind exactly the size ordered within tolerances of +1/8". The following guidelines should be used in measuring all roller shades:

Tip Measure

Tip measure is the measure from the outside edge of one pin, to the outside edge of the other pin.

Cloth Measure

If an exact cloth measure is required, specify "CLOTH MEASURE" when ordering. Note that the tube and brackets will extend beyond specified width approximately 1�".

Measuring Height

Measure height of window opening from top of frame to lower sill. Wrap is included in the suggested retail price.

Inside Mount

Measure the exact distance between the points where the brackets are to be installed and deduct �" for roller clearance or order inside mount tight and Elite will deduct 1/4". Specify tip measure.

Outside Mount

Measure the exact distance between the points where the brackets are to be installed. Specify tip measure.

Ceiling Mount

See Inside Mount (above). Where overlap is required add 3" to each side.

ALL BLINDS ORDERED BEYOND ELITE'S SPECIFICATIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY. ANY ALTERATIONS BY THE CUSTOMER TO THE HARDWARE, MOTORS, FABRIC, OR ANY OTHER COMPONENT OF THIS PRODUCT AFTER SHIPPING WILL VOID THIS WARRANTY.
