Total Solar Transmittance
The ratio of the amount of total
solar energy in the full solar wavelength range
(300-2,100 nanometers) that is allowed to pass
through a glazing system to the amount of total
solar energy falling on that glazing system. Value
is usually expressed as a percent.
Total Solar Reflectance
The ratio of total solar energy
which is reflected outward by the glazing system to
the amount of total solar energy falling on the
glazing system. On filmed windows this reflectance
is a function of the side of the film facing the
window surface. Value is usually expressed as a
percent.
Total Solar Absorption
The ratio of the amount of total
solar energy absorbed by a glazing system to the
amount of total solar energy falling on the glazing
system. Solar absorption is that portion of total
solar energy neither transmitted nor reflected.
Since solar transmittance and solar reflectance are
measured directly, the following equation should be
used in calculating solar absorption. Solar
absorption =1.00 - (solar transmittance) - (solar
reflectance)
Visible Light Transmittance
The ratio of the amount of total
visible solar energy (380-780 nanometers) that is
allowed to pass through a glazing system to the
amount of total visible solar energy falling on the
glazing system. Value is usually expressed as a
percent. Glare is influenced by visible light
transmittance through a glazing system.
Ultraviolet (UV) Transmittance
The ratio of the amount of total UV
solar energy (300-380 nanometers) that is allowed to
pass through a glazing system to the amount of total
UV solar energy falling on the glazing system.
Ultra-violet is one portion of the total solar
energy spectrum which greatly contributes to fading
and deterioration of fabric and furnishings.
Shading Coefficient (SC)
The ratio of the solar heat gain
through a given glazing system to the solar heat
gain under the same conditions for clear, un-shaded
double strength window glass (DSA). Shading
coefficient defines the sun control capability or
efficiency of the glazing system.
Total Solar Energy Rejected
The percent of incident solar energy
rejected by a glazing system equals solar
reflectance plus the part of solar absorption which
is reradiated outward.
B&W Window Fashions adds to their Shades of Elegance™ collection a high quality line of solar window coverings called Siesta Mylar Shades. You can beat the heat and protect your furniture from harmful sun rays with these fantastic Mylar shades. With Siesta™
Mylar Solar Shades (Grey/Silver color) 90% of the sun's heat is kept out of your house! 63% is reflected outside and 27% is absorbed into the shade.
Mylar Shades are different
color, very thin sheets of dyed laminated
Mylar
that's been heat pressed to form a single piece of
material that is durable and transparent. The first
color tells you the color inside the house, the
second color is the middle layer and the last color
is the color to the outside. When silver is listed
as the last color that means the material has a
silver reflective backing which provides greater
solar and UV protection.
Commercial and
Residential Benefits:
- Reduce glare, filter out
harmful UV rays, reject up to 90% of the
sun's heat in the summer and retain 27% of the sun's
heat in the winter.
- With
transparent mylar
solar shades you can maintain daytime
privacy, maintain your full view outside while at the same
time reducing glare in the
work area that causes eye strain, fatigue and loss
of productivity.
- Spring tension control
(otherwise called spring roller) is standard but at

NOTE: The mounting requirements vary between the available options, please review the information below the "Specs" tab to make sure you meet the minimum mounting
requirements for inside and outside mounts.
Spring Roller - No Charge Standard
The spring tension control mechanism is standard Shades of Elegance roller
shades and it is completely cordless. To raise the shade you give a gentle tug
on the hem bar (or ring pull if ordered) to unlock the tension device. Make sure
you continue to hold the hem bar as the shade rises otherwise it will shoot up
and spin around the roll causing damage to the fabric. To lower the shade you do
the same thing as you did to raise it, but in reverse. Being careful once again
to hold the hem bar until the shade reaches the desired drop otherwise it'll
shoot up and spin around the roll causing damage to the fabric.
Clutch
Roller
- Free Upgrade.
The Clutch Roller offers a single uninterrupted continuous-loop pull-cord that makes operating large shades easier without worrying about equalization problems. The Clutch Roller lift mechanism features a spring-loaded pin that provides more leeway for slightly mismeasured shades or out of square windows.
Cassette Roller + Surcharge based on width
The cassette headrail has a color-coordinated base and is trimmed with a matching fabric insert. It is available in white, vanilla, bronze, silver or black - the factory will determine the best color match to fabric color ordered. The Cassette features the Continuous Cord Loop Lift System described above.
Reverse Roll - No Charge
The fabric on a standard roller shade rolls off the back of the roll towards the window. With reverse roll the fabric rolls off the front of the shade concealing the roller.
NOT available with Cassette Roller Shades.

Before placing your order
• Color Accuracy
Although the color scans on this web site were scanned
with a very high quality scanner not all computer monitors
are the same and do not necessarily display colors the same
way. It is recommended that you have your video resolution
adjusted to 800 x 600 or greater and your color depth set to
16 bit (high color) or 32 bit (true color). Most modern
computers are capable of displaying 16.7 million colors at
one time in 32 bit mode.
Note:
B&W will not offer a product exchange or refund over a color
related complaint if samples were not received before the order was placed.
Note:
Color dye-lots vary between batches and so B&W cannot
provide an identical match to a previously ordered shade. In addition, B&W will only guarantee a color match per order not per customer
and so whether you're ordering by room or by floor it's best to order all the shades you want to match at one time.

• Warranty
Your order is protected against defects in material and
craftsmanship to the original buyer for 3 years upon receipt.
Fabric colors tend to fade over time and control cords will eventually break - these are not defects and are not covered by this
Guarantee. Improper installation, misuse or abuse are also not covered by this Guarantee. Repair of a defective product is
the purchaser's sole remedy under this guarantee.
To obtain service under this warranty, you need to contact
Accent Blinds & Shades by phone at (888) 660-2546 or by fax
at (877) 684-6188 for replacement, repair or to request a
return authorization. Accent Blinds & Shades will arrange
shipment from your place to the manufacturer and then the
manufacturer will pay for shipping the product or
replacement back to you anywhere in the continental United
States. Special arrangements will have to be made for orders
outside the 48 continental states.
• Measuring Instructions
Important:
In order to ensure that the fabric does not rub against the
brackets the factory must take appropriate deductions and these deductions
create light gaps at the edge of all roller shades that vary with the
hardware option selected. Spring rollers have a 5/8" light gap on each side
of the shade and the clutch roller has a 3/4" light gap on each side. If
these light gaps would allow in too much light or reduce your privacy to an
unacceptable level we suggest that you go with an outside mount.
- Use a metal tape measure only.
- Round down to the nearest 1/8th of an inch.
INSIDE MOUNT:
Width: Measure the exact width of the window opening
at the top, where the brackets will be mounted. Be precise
and round to the nearest 1/8th of an inch. The workroom will
deduct 1/8"? (from the tip-to-tip size) to allow for
clearance.
Height: Measure the actual height of the window. The
workroom will add fabric for roll up allowance.
OUTSIDE MOUNT:
Width: Measure at the top of the window where the
brackets will be placed. For Outside Mount, order as "Cloth
Measurement" and provide the total width the fabric should
cover. A 1-1/2" to 2" overlap on each side is recommended to
stop light gaps.
Height: Measure the actual height of the window. The
workroom will add fabric for roll up allowance.
• Installation
Instructions
• Cleaning Mylar Shades
Clean with alcohol using a soft cloth that will not scratch surface. Clean as you would a glass window, but special care should be taken not to dent or wrinkle the shade. DO NOT completely immerse and allow the shade to dry completely before raising. DO NOT use an ammonia based products like Windex.
