You’re staring at your screen with the Texas sun pouring through your window. The glare makes it impossible to see. Your AC is running nonstop, and you’re still sweating through your shirt by 2 PM.
Blackout roller shades fix that. They block the heat before it gets inside, cutting your cooling costs by keeping rooms 10 to 15 degrees cooler during peak afternoon hours. You get full control over how much light comes in—total darkness for bedrooms, soft filtering for living spaces, or anything in between.
No more squinting at your laptop. No more furniture fading from UV exposure. No more choosing between privacy and natural light. You adjust the shade to match what you’re doing, and your home actually feels comfortable again.
With Old Enfield seeing 25 days above 108°F in the next 30 years, interior roller shades aren’t just about looks. They’re about making your home livable when the heat becomes unbearable.
We’ve spent over 10 years installing custom window treatments across the Austin area. We’re based locally, we understand what Texas heat does to homes, and we know Old Enfield homeowners expect quality that matches their investment.
We’re not a franchise. We’re a branch of A Plus Home Remodel, which means we bring construction-level precision to every installation. Our showroom lets you see and touch materials before you commit, and our installers have done this enough times to handle tricky windows, odd angles, and older architecture without issue.
Old Enfield has some of the most valuable real estate in Texas. You’re not looking for the cheapest option—you’re looking for something that works, lasts, and doesn’t require a callback in six months. That’s what we do.
You schedule a free consultation, and we come to your home in Old Enfield. We measure your windows, talk through what you’re dealing with—heat, glare, privacy, whatever—and show you fabric options that actually solve those problems.
You pick your material, opacity level, and operating system. Motorized, cordless, continuous loop—it depends on your windows and how you want to use them. We’re not upselling you on features you don’t need. We’re helping you choose what makes sense for your space.
Once you approve everything, we order your custom roller shade blinds. Installation takes a few hours depending on how many windows we’re covering. Our team mounts everything, tests the operation, cleans up, and walks you through how to use and maintain your new shades.
If something’s off, we fix it. If you have questions later, you call us. You’re not dealing with a call center or a third-party contractor. You’re working with the same people who installed your shades.

Every roller blind window treatment we install is built to your exact measurements. You’re not trimming something from a big box store and hoping it fits. You’re getting a shade that covers the entire window, operates smoothly, and looks clean.
You choose from light-filtering fabrics that soften harsh sunlight or blackout materials that block it completely. Both options reduce UV damage to your floors and furniture, and both help with temperature control. Blackout blinds for windows are especially effective in bedrooms and home offices where you need total darkness or zero glare.
Old Enfield homes often have unique window sizes and older frames. We handle that. Our installers know how to work with historic architecture, and we can motorize shades for hard-to-reach windows or integrate them with your smart home system if that’s what you want.
You also get a product that’s designed for Texas. The fabrics we use hold up under constant sun exposure, and the hardware doesn’t warp or fail when temperatures spike. You’re not replacing these in two years because they couldn’t handle the climate.
Yes, but the savings depend on which windows you cover and how much direct sun they get. Blackout roller shades can block 30% to 45% of incoming heat, which means your AC doesn’t have to work as hard during peak afternoon hours.
In Old Enfield, where summer temperatures regularly hit triple digits, west- and south-facing windows are the biggest culprits. Covering those windows with blackout blinds can drop the room temperature by 10 to 15 degrees, which translates to lower energy bills and a more comfortable home.
The ROI isn’t instant, but most homeowners see a noticeable difference within the first cooling season. You’re also protecting your furniture, floors, and artwork from UV damage, which adds long-term value beyond just energy savings.
Light-filtering shades let soft, diffused light into the room while still blocking UV rays and reducing glare. You get privacy during the day, but people can see shadows and movement from outside at night if your lights are on.
Blackout shades block nearly all light. When they’re down, the room is dark—no shadows, no glare, no visibility from outside. They’re ideal for bedrooms, home theaters, or any space where you need complete light control.
Both options help with temperature regulation, but blackout materials are slightly more effective at blocking heat. If you work from home and deal with screen glare, blackout shades give you total control. If you just want to soften harsh sunlight without making the room feel like a cave, light-filtering works better.
Yes, and whether it’s worth it depends on your windows and how you use your home. Motorized roller shades are helpful for tall or hard-to-reach windows, and they integrate with most smart home systems if you want to control them from your phone or set schedules.
In Old Enfield, where many homeowners work remotely, motorized shades let you adjust light and temperature throughout the day without getting up. You can program them to lower automatically during peak sun hours, which helps with energy efficiency.
The upfront cost is higher—usually $150 to $400 more per window depending on the system—but the convenience is real. If you have large windows or multiple shades in one room, motorization makes sense. If you’re covering a single standard window, manual operation is fine.
Quality roller shades should last 10 to 15 years, even with constant sun exposure. The fabrics we use are designed to handle UV rays without fading or breaking down, and the hardware is built to operate smoothly through thousands of cycles.
Cheap roller blinds from big box stores often fail within two to three years because the materials aren’t rated for extreme heat. The fabric warps, the mechanism jams, and you end up replacing them sooner than you’d expect.
With custom interior roller shades, you’re paying for materials that hold up. The brackets don’t loosen, the fabric doesn’t sag, and the operation stays smooth. Regular dusting and occasional spot cleaning are all the maintenance you need.
Yes, if you choose motorized shades with smart home integration. Most systems connect via Wi-Fi or a hub, and once they’re set up, you can control them with voice commands or through an app.
You can also create schedules—shades lower automatically at sunrise to block morning glare, or raise at sunset to let in natural light. Some homeowners tie them to temperature sensors so the shades adjust based on how hot it gets outside.
Not every motorized shade includes smart home compatibility, so if that’s something you want, mention it during the consultation. We’ll walk you through which systems work with your setup and what the installation process looks like. It’s not complicated, but it does require a bit of planning upfront.
Blackout roller shades with a cordless or motorized lift. You need total control over glare, and blackout fabric gives you that. When the sun hits your screen, you lower the shade completely. When you need natural light, you raise it.
Cordless operation is cleaner and easier to adjust throughout the day. Motorized is even better if you’re on calls and don’t want to get up every time the light changes. Either way, you’re eliminating the glare problem without making your office feel dark and closed off.
Old Enfield homes often have large windows, which is great for natural light but brutal for screen glare. Blackout blinds for windows solve that. You’re not taping up bedsheets or dealing with cheap plastic blinds that don’t block anything. You’re getting a professional solution that actually works.
