Lower Your Entergy Bill & Block the Louisiana Sun

Baton Rouge’s blazing sun heats your home and fades your furnishings. Insulating solar shades block the sun’s heat before it enters — giving your AC a break — while cellular honeycomb shades add year-round insulation. Add blackout roller shades (a favorite of shift workers) for total darkness and better sleep. Cordless and motorized options for every room.

Our 100% moisture-resistant composite shutters are guaranteed to stand up to Baton Rouge’s relentless humidity without warping, cracking, or mildewing, unlike cheap wood. They block heat and add classic Southern elegance to Garden District cottages and new Prairieville builds alike.

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Treatments in Baton Rouge

1. What window treatments hold up best in Baton Rouge's humidity?

Moisture-resistant composite (faux wood) shutters and blinds are the best choice for Louisiana. Unlike real wood, they won’t warp, crack, or grow mildew in Baton Rouge’s relentless humidity, and they’re easy to clean. For heat and sun, insulating solar shades and cellular shades are ideal. Many homeowners combine composite shutters in humid rooms with solar or cellular shades in living areas.

2. Will window treatments lower my Entergy bill?

Yes. Insulating solar shades block the sun’s heat before it enters your home, giving your AC a break, and cellular (honeycomb) shades add year-round insulation. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates cellular shades can cut window heat gain by up to 40% — meaningful savings on south- and west-facing windows during Baton Rouge’s long, hot summers.

3. Are you locally owned?

Yes — Made in the Shade Baton Rouge has been locally owned and operated by Ken DuBois since 2013. We’re your neighbors, committed to true Southern hospitality, honest pricing, and professional service across the Capital Region.
