Sun Glow is happy to prepare your quote requests and happier when they turn into orders.  Our quote volume has increased considerably and we still maintain same day or next day turnaround.  No one wants to spend time and effort and not get results.  We are prepared to go the extra mile to increase the probability that you will be successful in being granted the project.  The more information you provide, the better we could provide a competitive price.  Please provide us with a project name, we may already have pertinent information that will help.  Please provide us with the specs and / or drawings, we will double check your assessment and provide the most cost effective option within specifications. 

A recent example of how more information results more competitive quoting.  We had an RFQ from two different authorized dealers, but the quantities varied.  One dealer provided the specs while the other just gave us sizes and quantities.  Based on the sizes, we would generally price an R16 clutch and stainless steel chain, yet the spec required an R8 clutch and nickel plated chain.  Without this additional information we may have overpriced the job and your and our efforts would be wasted.

Our quote requests continue to increase, to help us manage them and respond to you as quickly as possible, please use this e-mail.

Neo Shade™ - No More Chains

Sun Glow's newest control system, the Neo Shade™, has been updated to be compatible with the sleek Decora 8 valance; One of our best-selling valances in the residential sector.  Since the Neo Shade™ has been received so well as part of our Artisan Collection™, Sun Glow is expanding the fabric selection available for use with the Neo Shade™ to include our standard line of fabrics.

The Neo Shade™ System is a chainless, touch operated control system that features a slow-glide roll-up mechanism.  Unlike the spring systems of yesteryear, the Neo Shade™ is easy to control, operates smoothly, and installs easily.  It can be operated with a blind pull, or simply by using the hem bar.  For more information on Neo Shade™, look at the pdf in the resources section of our website.
