There is no question that the PLASTIC-VIEW , see thru window shade is the best in the world, absolutely unequaled in quality and consistency. Our heavy involvement with high sophisticated government work has helped us in achieving this quality and demonstrates that PLASTIC-VIEW shades are the best dollar value! Idaho Canvas Products, Inc. represents Plastic View which offers the widest selection of "see-thru" window shade materials in the industry; over 20 standard running line colors, including embossed materials as well. Plus, a variety of SheerWeave Mesh fabrics.
PLASTIC-VIEW SOLAR CONTROL WINDOW SHADES
COLD WEATHER
Most of us are aware of how valuable good insulation is, and in fact, probably already have some type of insulation for the walls and ceilings. However, in many cases the SINGLE LARGEST ENERGY WASTE AREA HAS BEEN NEGLECTED...THE WINDOWS.
It has been estimated that 20% of our nation's yearly energy production is consumed in the space conditioning of residential and commercial buildings, with windows accounting for a very disproportionate 25% or 1.7 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL PER DAY. Energy escapes at a rate of 10-13 times faster through windows than any other surface, and over 2/3 of the salvageable energy is lost at the window area. What this boils down to is that YOUR MONEY IS LITERALLY GOING OUT THE WINDOW!
PLASTIC-VIEW heat reflective solar control "See-Thru" window shades have the energy efficiency and flexibility that is required to combat this tremendous energy/dollar loss. PLASTIC-VIEW shades are an excellent investment with a rapid return-on-investment of only one to three years. Our heat reflective shades perform as a passive solar system that allows all of the available free solar heating to enter when up, or when in the down position, reduce cold air infiltration while retaining and re-radiating precious interior heat back inside the room. PLASTIC-VIEW metallized materials have a "thermos bottle" effect on windows. In cold weather, cold air penetration is limited and the interior warmth is kept inside. In hot weather, the heat is reflected away and the coolness retained.
HOW TO USE PLASTIC-VIEW HEAT REFLECTIVE SHADES FOR MAXIMUM COLD WEATHER ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Flexibility is the key to achieving maximum energy efficiency.
Static devices such as exterior screens, awnings or tinted/solar glass have no regulatory capabilities; therefore, they continue to reflect free solar heating and light even during periods when they would be extremely beneficial. Obviously, this results in greater energy demands and higher costs.
The PASSIVE SOLAR CONTROL function of PLASTIC-VIEW solar control window shades allows the free solar heating and natural light to enter. In many cases, this satisfies the entire heating and lighting requirements for hours.
During the hours of direct sunlight on any window, PLASTIC-VIEW shades conveniently raise to allow 100% of the available free solar heating and natural light to enter. 
As the sun angle changes, PLASTIC-VIEW shades are easily lowered, trapping the free solar energy inside the room. This reduces the need for any additional and costly heating. 
At night, PLASTIC-VIEW shades should remain in the down position. This results in an insulated air space between the window and shade, reducing the cold air infiltration. PLASTIC-VIEW heat reflective shades also re-radiate convective furnace (manmade) energy back inside the room for additional heat savings that would have ordinarily been lost.HOT WEATHER
PLASTIC-VIEW heat reflective shades are a by-product of the U.S. space program. The precision metallization control technology produces the incredibly high total solar energy rejection of up to 94.9%, while still maintaining excellent optical clarity. See Specifications
By reflecting excess solar energy back through the glass, inside temperatures are kept more comfortable. In many cases this eliminates the need for air conditioning altogether, or at least decreases the demand and strain on existing equipment. Smaller and more economical machines may be utilized to satisfy air conditioning requirements.
WITHOUT HEAT REFLECTIVE SHADES inside temperatures soar, especially at the window areas. If the air conditioning is set high enough to make those near the window comfortable, the others freeze.
WITH HEAT REFLECTIVE SHADES, the temperatures becomes more uniform and the working environment is far more comfortable for everyone. Window Shade Materials
Triplex .004 MIL (See Pricing) Three-ply materials, two are full body-dyed for color and the other metallized for energy efficiency. With Triplex films, the metallized layer is unseen, there is no "silver look". Reflects 73-77% of the total solar energy. Retains 46-56% of the interior furnace heat. Stops 99% of the fade causing ultra-violet rays. Colors available ECLIPSE, COPPER, BRONZE, ONYX
Duplex .003 MIL (See Pricing) Two-ply materials, one metallized for energy efficiency then laminated to a weatherable full body-dyed layer for color; with the exception of "Ice" where the laminate is clear. Reflects 86-92% of the total solar energy. Retains 46-56% of the interior furnace heat. Stops 99% of the fade causing ultra-violet rays. Colors available MINT, SABLE, ICE, DUSK.
Duplex Low VLT .003 MIL (See Pricing) Materials are the most energy efficient in the industry. These films are constructed with one very densely metallized component laminated to a weatherable full body-dyed layer for color. Are excellent for maximum heat reflection and reducing glare off of computer screens. Reflects 91-94% of the total solar energy. Retains 46-56% of the interior furnace heat. Stops 99% of the fade causing ultra-violet rays. Colors available GREY/SILVER, BRONZE/SILVER, SILVER/SILVER
Super A .003 MIL (See Pricing) Sputter coated material that is designed to offer an excellent combination of high energy efficiency with a high percentage visible light transmission. The neutral color and excellent two-way visibility of Super A is ideally suited for store front or display windows that need protection against heat and sun damage to merchandise while still allowing items to be clearly viewed. Reflects 27-38% of the total solar energy. Retains 46-56% of the interior furnace heat. Stops 99% of the fade causing ultra-violet rays.
Colors available MEDIUM, LIGHT.
Uniplex .003 MIL (See Pricing) Single ply full-body dyed and weatherable materials. The "Smoke" color is good for reducing glare and providing daytime privacy, while "Amber" and "Clear" afford excellent two-way visibility. Reflects 15-44% of the total solar energy. Retains 46-56% of the interior furnace heat. Stops 99% of the fade causing ultra-violet rays. Colors available CLEAR, AMBER, SMOKE.
Mesh Sheerweave 1000 (See Pricing) Woven, vinyl coated fiberglass. For "view out" windows where pure view out is not a requirement, these materials are often the choice, however, if pure view out is a firm requirement, our mylar shades must be used. Blocks the sun, not the view. Keeps out insects, not the breeze. Colors available CHARCOAL, ANTIQUE WHITE
Basic Spring Roller & Brackets
Plastic View Roller shades are recommended for the majority of small and medium size windows where there is good accessibility for convenient operation. This spring roller is manufactured for silent operation and long life with an extra strong spring for greater lifting power. As more than one kind of bracket can be used with a Plastic View Roller Shade, the illustrations below will help you select the proper bracket so that you may measure accurately for your roller shade. See optional Rollease Clutch Bead Chain mechanism.
Inside Brackets
Probably the most commonly used type, this bracket may be used wherever there is enough
depth inside the window frame to accommodate the roller.
Outside Brackets
This bracket mounts on the frame of the window or on the wall adjacent to the window facing the room.
It is needed where there is no space on the inside of the window frame. It is also used where it is desirable
to cover inner edges of a window frame, or for shades wider than the windows.
Ceiling Brackets
Particularly useful on ceiling - high windows, bay windows, or those with deep recesses, and sliding
glass doors. Also useful on an overhang above the windows.
