Keep Your Greenhouse Cool with Alluring Window Shades
A greenhouse is a delightful way to bring the outdoors inside, but a room made of windows can heat up fast on a sunny day. Greenhouse shades from Alluring Window will solve that problem, keeping the room cool while maintaining the atmosphere inside.
- Greenhouse shades are a whole different class of sun shades in Manhattan.

- Honeycomb shades with 4 sided frame.
- As a roller shade with back and front fascias (covers).
- For a cleaner look, greenhouse shade can be made as a Roma Solar with a track system on the back, so once the shade is closed, the track is not visible.
- Of course, exterior shades are made of more durable, weatherproof material.
- Normally greenhouse shades are made motorized operation.

Greenhouse shades can be kept clean and looking like new with regular vacuuming. If your shades become stained, Alluring Window recommends brushing the affected area with a mild detergent and thoroughly rinsing it. However, we advise NOT immersing the fabric completely, and DO allow your greenhouse shades to dry entirely before raising them. Commercial spot cleaners may be used, but it’s best to test them in an inconspicuous area to ensure they won’t damage or affect the fabric. Avoid using bleach, solvents, abrasives, or any cleaning method that involves heat.
