In the world of business, first impressions aren’t just about the service or the product—they are about the environment. We recently had the pleasure of working with our friends at Mission BBQ in Troy, located at the southwest corner of Rochester Road and Big Beaver.

If you’ve visited this local favorite for some of the best BBQ in Michigan, you know their space is bright and inviting. However, those large windows—while beautiful—presented a classic commercial challenge: intense afternoon sun. For a restaurant, "too much of a good thing" can mean uncomfortable glare for diners and rising cooling costs.

The Commercial Challenge: Light Control & Customer Comfort

When the sun hits that southwest corner in Troy, it can turn a pleasant lunch into a squinting match. We worked with the Mission BBQ team to provide high-performance window shades that solve three major commercial issues:

  1. Glare Reduction: Guests can now enjoy their meal without the sun reflecting off their tables or screens.
  2. Thermal Comfort: Our commercial-grade shades act as a barrier, keeping the dining area cool during those humid Michigan afternoons.
  3. Preserving the Vibe: We chose a sleek, professional design that manages the light without hiding the patriotic, community-focused atmosphere that Mission BBQ is known for.

Why Troy Businesses are Upgrading in 2026

Whether you manage a restaurant on Big Beaver or a corporate office near the Somerset Collection, your windows are a key part of your business management strategy.

The Top Benefits for Offices and Retail:

  • Employee Productivity: In an office setting, glare on computer monitors is a leading cause of eye strain and headaches. Custom solar shades filter the light, keeping your team focused and comfortable.
  • Asset Protection: UV rays are a "slow predator" for businesses. They fade carpets, bleach merchandise in storefronts, and can damage expensive office furniture. Our professional-grade treatments block up to 99% of these harmful rays.
  • Energy Efficiency: For larger commercial spaces in Troy, the HVAC system is often the biggest expense. Insulating shades reduce the "cooling load" in the summer and trap heat in the winter, providing a significant ROI on your utility bills.
