Resource Reduction and Energy Savings

We work with apartment management groups and owners to help them be successful in their stated sustainability and environmental goals. We provide the total number of resources saved when using a roller shade versus a faux wood blind along with the energy saving attributed to automated roller shades, which in a recent Department of Energy study reduced total kilowatt hours up to 14%!

Plastics

Microplastics in our landfills and waterways is becoming a larger and larger issue each year. Most faux wood blinds are not recyclable and with the average lifespan of a faux wood blind being five to six years, this means that your blinds end up in the landfill several times over the lifespan of your property.
