Welcome to The Shade Essentials, your North American specialist in aluminum profiles exclusive to the window covering industry. We center our business model around the needs of our customers based on over fifty years of window covering experience.
Manufacturing within North America allows our customers to avoid the challenges of long sea voyages, high import fees, and transit damages. Recognizing the importance of efficient fabrication, we suggest a fresh take on procuring your aluminum within North America. With the increase in domestic demand and a shift in import-export dynamics, it's a prime time to tap into local resources and change your aluminum sourcing strategy. Experience seamless service with customized orders delivered directly to your dock.
A full truck load is a designated shipment of 41,000 lbs. You choose which products and lengths to suit your requirements. For no extra charge, we'll ship you lengths from 10 feet - 24 feet. If you need lengths smaller than 10 feet, you can contact us for a quotation. With this program, you'll have the ultimate in flexibility and speedy production.
At the Shade Essentials we recognize that not every customer has the capacity to have 41,000 lbs delivered to their facility. You will still have all of the custom options that the full truck load program has, but we need two confirmed orders in to begin production. If your timing is flexible, this is a great program for customers that do not have the ability to take full trucks. Alternatively, we offer an exclusive half truck delivery tailored to your needs for a nominal additional charge.
Partial Truck Load
This program still provides great pricing with reduced commitment. You'll split a truck and receive 10,000 lbs of mixed product. Many customers will fall into this category, and once a truck is full, we notify you when production begins. We do not accept custom orders at this time for this type of order because it impedes our speed and efficiency to get all customers their orders in a timely manner.
