Custom Window Shades for Oahu Homes
If your problem is afternoon heat, glare on a screen, or sun bleaching your floors — and you don’t want to give up the view to fix it — shades are usually the answer. Solar shades are the workhorse on this island: an open weave blocks heat, glare and UV while you still see straight through to the outside. Roller shades in blackout fabric are what we fit for anyone working nights. Cellular shades hold conditioned air in and cut what your AC costs you. We install custom Graber shades across Oahu, and we bring the actual fabrics to your house so you can hold them up to your own windows. Call (808) 427-2397.
Solar, roller, cellular and Roman shades
Solar shades are specified by openness factor — a 1% weave blocks the most sun and gives the most privacy, a 10% weave keeps the clearest view. For an ocean or mountain view you don’t want to lose, 5% is the usual compromise, and the numbers mean nothing until you’re looking through them, which is why we bring the fabrics to you. Blackout roller shades with side channels are what we fit for hospital, hotel, airline and military shift workers who need to sleep during the day. Cellular shades trap air in honeycomb cells and cut what your AC costs to run. Roman shades are the decorative end — closer to drapery than to a blind. A lot of Oahu homes end up with two treatments on the same window: a solar shade for the day and a blackout for the night. We’ll price that as an option so you can decide.
Solar and Roller Shades
Roller shades are an elegant twist to run-of-the-mill shades. You may combine them with other window coverings to enhance your décor. On the other hand, solar shades are perfect for protecting your interior from harmful UV rays and minimizing glare.
Cellular Shades
These window treatments are a fantastic way to boost the efficiency of your home or office by keeping the room cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Roman Shades
The roman shades we offer come with the convenience of conventional shades and the soft appearance of elegant fabric folds.
Pleated Shades
This window covering consists of a pleated fabric that brings softness to a window while letting filtered sunlight illuminate the room.
Sheer Shades
Sheer shades are a beautiful fusion of shades and blinds. They’re great at diffusing the sunlight entering the room and preventing exposure of your interior to the outside.
