The time of year when students head back to school, and the summer begins winding down is already here! Budgets are at the top of everyone’s mind, especially students and proud parents looking to save money with all the needed back-to-school supplies.

This is where roller shades could fit perfectly into your expenses and your home, office, or dorm room. What are roller shades, you may be asking? Roller shades are rectangular pieces of cloth affixed to a dowel or tube and then mounted to wall brackets over your window. Roller shades offer a pulley, spring system, or a remote automated mechanism that draws the material over your windows for an effective and highly customizable window shade.
Roller Shade Misconceptions and Facts
- Many people think that roller shades can look outdated or tacky. The truth is roller shades offer many benefits that other window coverings do not, and they can be customized to fit any window, decor, or situation.
- If you are wondering how much sun gets blocked with roller shades, you are lucky because roller shades can be tailored to block as much or as little sunlight as you wish. Even double roller shades are available if you want to let as much light in during the day, but you would also enjoy the privacy of blackout shades in the evening.
- The possibilities are endless, and if you can dream up a pattern or type of material, you can likely apply that to a roller shade. From crazy patterned fabrics to advanced semi-transparent, UV-ray blocking material, roller shades can offer substantial variability for treating the windows in your home, office, or student living space.
- Surprisingly, roller shades do not require a lot of upkeep and can last for years and years in your home. With routine quick maintenance and cleaning and the assistance of Galaxy Window Covering’s upkeep services, your roller shades can always be a great staple to your home.
Roller shades can give you a clean look that fits any decor, even a student’s dorm room! Plus, they are cost-effective and are easy to clean and maintain.
