What is a "shade"?
A shade is a type of window treatment that is designed to cover a window and control the amount of light that enters a room. Shades are typically made of fabric or natural materials like bamboo or wood, and are available in a variety of styles and colors. They can be installed inside or outside the window frame and can be operated manually or with a motorized system.
