Window Coverings

Material-

Product Name: Iris Solar Sunscreen Roller Shades (motorized)

Product Color: light grey

Spaces used: conference room, offices and southern most wall of paralegal areas

Sustainability-

Iris, the company that makes these blinds is a member of the U.S. Green Building Company which is the organization that came up with the developed LEED’s Green Building Rating System. This company did this by using materials that are recycled and “green”. These window coverings also help insulate the space by blocking the sun from entering the room. This helps regulate the temperature of the room and not let the sun’s heat penetrate the building.

Installation/Maintenance-

Iris, the company that makes these shades, includes installation in the price of the window coverings. It is important to have professionals install blinds because they can be very difficult to do. Since I am using motorized blinds in my space, this becomes even more important.  There are professionals in areas around America that can come to your house/building and install these shades. The materials that make up these shades are made of a very strong and fade resistant material. This means that the maintenance is very easy to keep up.
