Don’t Let Michigan Weather Wear Down Your Home

Q

Drafty Windows & High Heating Bills

Older Oakland County homes are charming, but single-pane and aging windows bleed heat all winter. Gaps in cheap blinds make it worse. Our insulating cellular shades trap a layer of air at the glass, acting as a thermal barrier that keeps rooms warmer and cuts your winter heating costs.

Q

Faded Floors & Furniture Summer sun

Especially off reflective snow in late winter — pours UV into south- and west-facing rooms, bleaching hardwoods, rugs, and upholstery. Our solar shades and UV-filtering fabrics block that damage while keeping your view.

Q

Condensation & Warping

Michigan’s humidity swings and winter condensation can warp real-wood blinds near kitchens and baths. Our composite shutters and faux wood blinds resist moisture, so they won’t crack, peel, or warp where the air is damp.

Now that’s easy, call now!

Exterior Shades

Cellular Shades — Year-Round Energy Savings

The single best insulator for a Michigan home. Honeycomb cells trap air at the window, keeping heat in during winter and out during summer — meaningfully lowering your DTE Energy bills in Ferndale or Huntington Woods while softening incoming light.

We had a wonderful experience with Made in the Shade. We have new construction and needed window treatments for the whole house. The different types of shades , fabric options and colors Made in the Shade offered was a bit overwhelming but that was preferable to being limited on options. Chris and Denise (Owners) were happily willing to meet with me on a couple of occasions to help narrow down what I wanted.and discuss the options for different types of shades in different locations of the house. Once I finally made the necessary decisions, the order and install moved along exactly on the timeline promised. Chris installed all of the window treatments in less than a half day and my husband, who is handy, jokingly complained that he did not have anything to critique with the quality of the work. I highly recommend Made in the Shade.
