We pride ourselves on our immense selection of shading and light control solutions products. But what truly sets us apart is the unparalleled service and support we provide to our clients during and after the projects are complete. Our project management staff works closely with each customer, determining needs and identifying solutions. The number of high quality manufacturers we represent combined with our experience crafting customized solar control systems enables us to identify the optimum product choices for any location or type of window treatment. And our knowledge and selection of fabrics - including the degrees of openness, the weaves, and the sun protection qualities of the materials - gives us the ability to recommend the right fabric for any location.

Our Installation capability is also a key part of our commitment to service. We have a superior team of professional installers who work carefully and efficiently. As a group, they have handled virtually every commercial and residential installation imaginable.

Once the installation is complete you can count on years of trouble free service - We guarantee all our work. Yet we’re always ready to help customers with any and all future needs. Styles and systems may change, but our dedication to customer service never does.

We offer service on new and existing projects. Service packages are available. For more information please call Laura Molsky at 301-424-3770 or lauram@gbshades.com

Be in the forefront of Building Automation

Did you know you can automate your shades with your lighting fixtures? Imagine your shades “talking” with your lights – as one allows more sunlight in, the other dims to save electricity. Our leading edge technology products take control of daylight and integrate it in the most productive way. Appropriate shading reduces glare on computers and heat gain in the summer allowing employees to be more productive and comfortable.

Because of the Earth’s axis tilt as it travels around the sun, a building’s precise location is a significant element in the 'daylighting' equation. An automated shade system is programmed to be at the correct angle—at the right time, 24 hours/365 days a year, and can adjust to different external lighting conditions.
