Apollo Draperies extends the longevity of your covered porch
With spring rapidly approaching and warmer days finally becoming a reality, many Cincinnatians are looking forward to getting outside and appreciating the sunshine.
But you don’t have to go far to enjoy the outdoors. With Apollo Draperies, clients can transform their indoor and outdoor living areas into cozy spaces that can be utilized even when the weather isn’t on its best behavior.
Tina Engdahl, CEO of Apollo Draperies, says exterior shades is an upcoming outdoor living trend that allows people to use their outdoor space even into the cooler months.
“People want to be outside,” Engdahl says. “They hate being cooped up in Cincinnati in the gray winters. They want to be out there.”
Engdahl says Apollo Draperies allow its clients to extend their outdoor living by enclosing covered porches with exterior screen shades.
“You can take a covered porch area and make it an enclosed room, if you want, when you put the shades down on all three sides—which extends your outdoor living timeframe,” Engdahl says. “Once the screen shades are down, you can raise the temperature of that area by 10 to 15 degrees, or you can even lower the temperature in your outside area.”
Even if you’re not in the market for exterior shades, there are still ways to enhance your indoor living space and breathe fresh air and light into a room.
“We want our clients to have the most light and view from their windows that they can possibly get, so that goes into designing around the features of that window to give them that ability. When they want their windows in the room to feel open and bright and light, we want them to have that as well,” Engdahl says.
Apollo Draperies, whose showroom is located at 8353 Vine St. in Cincinnati, takes the confusion out of pricing, selection and installation by actively working with its clients and listening to their unique and individual needs.
“We have full conversations and we’ve learned about them and their family life and their family living so that we can best help them and take that concern completely away… We never want them to regret anything,” Engdahl says. “So we’re very thorough with our clients and learning what their expectations are and what their initial issue is that has caused them to call us to help them.”
