ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Honeycomb shades are one of the most energy-efficient window coverings available. The insular property of the honeycomb fabric is attributed to its unique cellular construction creating a barrier of chambers designed to reduce heat and cold from entering your home through your windows.
Luscious fabrics folded into delicate pleats not only define a softer side of beauty for the interior décor, but also provide an energy efficient solution for your home.
There are no visible cords or cord holes in honeycomb shades reducing light leaks. The precise pleats in the fabric form a cell that aid in trapping in the air to further insulate your home while repelling dirt and dust making cleaning and maintaining simple.
Honeycomb shades come in a variety of design options and colors sure to be perfect for your windows.
Dual Shades
STYLE & DESIGN
- Translucent and light-dimming fabrics are blended with a sheer or mesh fabric, providing varying opacity levels depending on fabric choice.
- When aligned, solid bands ensure privacy; when shifted, the sheer bands allow natural light and diffused views.
- Innovative, fully-enclosed bottom rail allows the fabric to slide through smoothly for effortless operation and alignment.
- Shade disappears inside the headrail when raised for a full outdoor view.
Solid bands and lineal sheers unite for a gorgeous combination of colorful accents or neutral hues.

Alternate the bands for room darkening and/or privacy.
Roller and Solar Shades
Made with Mermet, Sun control textiles.
Homeowners new and old alike are enjoying the beauty and Value of solar protection fabrics. Enduris TM Glass Core Technology, a combination of superior-quality coatings and glass yarns at the core of the fabric, enhances sustainability while reducing energy costs. Solar/Roller shades made with Mermet fabrics are tested and proven to eliminate heat from solar radiation while providing strength, durability, UV-resistance, and beautiful color.
STYLE & FABRIC OPTIONS
Solar/Roller Shades are available in three basic styles:
Transparent:
transmits light so that objects or images can be seen through the weave of the fabric.
Provides solar protection.
Provides natural light and glare control
Reduces solar heat gain
Transparent solar screen fabrics allow light to pass through the fabric so that the background remains visible. Color is the most important factor in determining overall performance of transparent solar screens. Darker colors absorb more solar radiation and transmit less light, improving transparency during daylight hours. Lighter colors absorb less radiation and permit more light, preserving natural light levels.
Translucent:
Transmits diffused light , eliminating perception of distinct images.
Provides solar protection
Provides natural light filtration
Reduces solar heat gain
Translucent fabrics transmit light but provide sufficient diffusion to eliminate perception of distinct images - resulting in varying degrees of view-through and privacy. Woven to precise standards, translucent fabrics provide even light filtration, solar protection and natural lighting. All translucent fabrics are inherently flame retardant and dimensionallly stable. Decorative are available to add a designer touch to your window.
Blackout:
Provide advanced light blockage and privacy
Provide ultimate light and glare control
Provide dramatic reductions in solar heat gain
Blackout fabrics are perfect for bedrooms, media/game room's, or any room that requires complete light blockage and/or privacy. Blackout fabrics are inherently flame retardant and dimensionally stable, offering ultimate glare control in addition to dramatic reductions in solar heat gain. All black out fabrics feature neutral backing for heat protection and a uniform appearance from the exterior of your home.
Lifetime Limited Manufacturers Warranty
The manufacturer (DSC Window Fashions) warrants that all roller shades will be free from defects in materials for as long as the original retail purchaser owns the product, provided they were properly installed by a certified Blended Blinds installer.
Child Safety
Be aware that it is possible for children and pets to become entangled in solar/roller shade cords. To reduce the risk of accidents, all cords must be kept out of the reach of children and pets. Cord tensioners are an effective way to implement this essential precaution. Mounted at a safe height, taking into account furniture or other objects upon which a child or pet may climb.
Cord tensioners are included and installed with every shade unless otherwise requested by the customer.
Care and Cleaning
Remove dust with a vacuum cleaner set on low suction. When vacuuming, avoid pulling or stretching the fabric. Spot clean with a sponge or soft brush dipped in a soapy water using a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water. Leave shade down until completely dry.
