Amongst the window coverings I found to be most suitable for my kitchen, Bali solar shades come in my personal top of preferences. There are few reasons why I think they are so great:
Bali solar shades are not opaque. I don’t need complete blackout in my kitchen. I want to see the food when I cook, without having to turn on the lights during daytime. Yet, I live in a sunny area, so I need UV protection. At Bali, there are two openness choices for the solar shades: 10-14% or 5%-7%.

Bali solar shades are stylish. I’m the modern type of person and that’s visible in my interior design and furnishings. I like to get myself surrounded by beautiful objects and decorations, so the window coverings make no exception. I want to enjoy what I see wherever I might be looking inside my home.

Care and Cleaning of Bali Solar Shades

There’s no big deal about the maintenance of Bali solar shades. You can dust them and vacuum them without any restriction. Soil removal and spot cleaning are also allowed. Beware that these shades can’t be immersed in water, as this would ruin them. If you dust them frequently, you won’t have any problem and you’ll manage to preserve them like new for a very long time.
