Pinoleum shades (shown above) consist of individual wooden reeds woven together to diffuse sunlight and reduce heat and glare. They are typically mounted at the eave and used for a structure’s walls, but they are also available for sloped applications, depending on roof configurations. Solar Innovations, Inc. does not recommend using pinoleum blinds in high humidity environments, such as greenhouses and pool enclosures.
Wide span shades (above) are designed in a Roman fold style and span from eave to eave or follow the slope of a structure for shading windows in the ridge. When extended, wide span shades trap heat in the ridge above, leaving the interior living space cool and comfortable. Wide span shading systems are available with various fabric, color, and texture options. Most materials are available in sizes up to 9′ wide by 20′ long.Whether reducing solar heat gain, filtering light or increasing privacy is the user’s priority, Solar Innovations, Inc.’s shading options are the ideal solution.
