Commercial Roller & Solar Shades
Our commercial roller and solar shades allow Colorado businesses to control glare, heat, and UV rays while balancing natural light and a view of the outdoors. We’ve been designing and installing commercial roller and solar shade solutions for offices, restaurants, retail stores, hotels, hospitals, schools and more since 1980.
Innovative Openings began manufacturing solar shades and roller shades in 1983, having identified the significant energy impact and positive commercial environmental effects of this innovative class of window covering. In response to the shortcomings of the available product, Rick Pease and Dave Friedlander founded Insolroll Window Shading Systems with a mission to build high quality solar shading systems with the best available fabrics, and standard features and options that immediately distinguished the Insolroll product in the industry.
Over 40 years later, Insolroll is an award-winning, nationally known manufacturer, with a network of installing dealers across North America. Innovative Openings was the first of these dealers, and set the bar in Colorado for commercial solar shades.
