Energy Efficiency

One criteria of a window treatment that is often overlooked is its energy efficiency.

Cellular shades are the most energy efficient treatments available. The pocket of air inside the shades do a marvelous job of keeping heat trapped inside the space between the window glass and the shade. The honeycomb and Solera Roman shades are such cellular shades.

Plantation shutters aren't a cellular design but 3/8ths of an inch of poplar wood is an excellent insulator in its own right.

Sunscreen roller shades are also excellent at keeping heat out, especially on the patio. Here in the showroom we face due east. I took the temperature of the glass a while ago, it was 138 degrees. I moved the thermometer over to the sunscreen on the front door, the temperature dropped to 93 degrees. I couldn't believe it was that drastic in a shade that I can see through. The honeycomb was the winner but it didn't beat the sunscreen by much, it came in at 89-90 degrees.

Happy

I just moved and a repeat customer. Once again, I couldn't be more pleased! They offer a high quality product (for me, plantation shutters) at a reasonable cost. Both appointments for the estimate/measurements and installation were timely. All went smoothly. Great people to work with. Who could ask for more? I have recommended them to friends/neighbors and they had the same experience. Very happy with AAA Blind Factory!

Wonderful

We purchased a blind at AAA Blind Store. My husband decided to install it himself. Probably not the best choice. Once he mounted it properly the wand mechanism wouldn’t raise the shade. I brought it back and they said they would repair it. The next day they called, said they would reinstall it and make sure the wand worked correctly. We had dreaded reinstalling it yet again. They came adjusted the mounting and explained why we had trouble. WONDERFUL SERVICE.

Beautiful

I ordered a sidelight plantation shutter and it is perfect! They did beautiful work and was very fast to install. After placing the order it did take about 6 weeks for it to come in but I think that is pretty common. I was very pleased with the entire process and they were about $75 cheaper than other estimates.

Honest

I have not received my blinds yet, but let me tell you, AAA Blind Factory is the best. They came out and measured my sliders, I provided them with a deposit check. Unbeknownst to me, I had torn off 2 checks and they had a blank check of mine. Yesterday in the mail, they had returned my blank check! Thank you AAA Blind for being honest and taking the customer service up many more notches.
