Window shades differ from window blinds in that they are made of materials that are either raised or lowered for visibility and light control, and not opened with a tilt controller. And as is the case with pretty much everything, there are exceptions. Our sheer shades, which make great solar window shades, are constructed with cloth slats in between two layers of light filtering material. Also from SelectBlinds.com is the energy efficient VuThru Insulating Blinds. This versatile money saving window shade looks like a honeycomb shade, but open like a horizontal blind. And the VuThru Insulating Blind is available as either a light filtering window shade, or a blackout window shade.

SelectBlinds.com also offers a full selection of natural window shades, and bamboo window shades. These window shades can help to dramatically transform the look of any room. Window shades from SelectBlinds.com, a perfect fit, always!
