If you dream of having it "made

in the shade," a Fayetteville business may be able to help.

Shade Systems wants you to

know that they're "much more than just awnings."

At their 8,500 sq. ft. facility

at 130 Walter Way, you'll find patio covers, screen rooms, fixed and retractable

awnings, and Ultra Lattice, an all aluminum lattice system which comes

with a transferable lifetime material warranty. Many displays are in the

product's natural setting, giving home owners a clearer idea of what one

of these products would be like in their own living space. Whether your

needs are for simple

Did you know that the addition

of a shade system to your home will not only increase its value, but lower

energy costs?

Shading systems are much more

common in Europe than in the United States because higher energy prices

cause consumers in these other nations to employ exterior shading devices

to lower utility expenses. In the United States, we are much more dependent

on our interior shading products such as blinds, drapes or shades to block

the sun's rays. These window dressings do provide protection for furnishings

and carpets. However, passive heat gains occur when the sun's rays shine

through the glass, causing higher interior temperatures and air conditioning

systems to work much harder, resulting in higher energy usage and associated

costs.

Founded in 1989 by Richard

Childers and Shayne Busby, Shade Systems has grown from a 1,000 sq. ft.

facility in Riverdale to its present location in Fayette. Discussions

are underway now to separate the residential and commercial departments,

which the owners believe will put them in a better position to expand

their line of residential products while better serving their customers.

Childers and Busby employ a

timeless strategy to customer service, expressed as follows:

"Shade Systems has always

believed that making exaggerated claims about our products or using high

pressure sales tactics runs counter to our business philosophy. Instead,

we try to educate our customers about our various products and allowing

them to make the correct choice about which product will best serve their

needs.

"Then we offer a quality

product at a competitive price. We truly believe that the bitter taste

of poor quality or unmet expectations will remain with a customer long

after the sweet taste of a cheap price is forgotten."
