Have you ever been in a restaurant where the sun hits you right in the eyes? You are squinting to see what’s on the menu while your stomach rumbles with hunger. Today's Customer Story shows you how one business is beating the heat.

For restaurants and business owners, solar screen roller shades are the perfect solution to prevent glare and block UV rays. By blocking the sun's glare, solar shades help reduce the sweltering heat and prevent the need for high levels of air conditioning.

Chris Fitzgerald, Co-owner of Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint -Edgewood in Atlanta, Georgia, was looking for relief for her customers, "Today was sunny and hot and while the temperature on the thermostat was still high, the solar shades were helping. And regardless, it helped remove the intense glare which is great.”

Fitzgerald chose Payless Decor's Advantage Solar Shades in Tabby Chocolate for the large windows in the restaurant's front entrance. With a western exposure and no window treatments, it became a problem area for staff and customers alike. “It was so hot and the glare was awful so we had to do something,” said Fitzgerald. “We had a custom blind guy come and give us a quote, but we couldn't justify the cost.” Payless Decor's affordable prices on custom solar shades fit their budget and they are very satistfied with their purchase.
