Solar & Screen Shades

Control glare, reduce heat, and protect your interiors while preserving natural light and outdoor visibility.

What does the openness percentage mean on solar shades?

The openness percentage refers to how open the fabric weave is. Lower openness generally provides greater glare reduction and privacy, while higher openness preserves more natural light and the view outside. We can help you choose the right openness level for each room.

Do solar shades block UV rays and reduce glare?

Yes. Solar shades are designed to reduce glare and UV exposure, helping make bright rooms more comfortable and protect furniture, flooring, artwork, and other interior finishes from prolonged sunlight.

Can you see outside through solar shades?

Yes. Depending on the fabric and openness level, solar shades can maintain your view outside while reducing sunlight and glare. Visibility varies based on the selected fabric and lighting conditions.

Do solar shades provide privacy?

Solar shades can provide daytime privacy when it is brighter outside than inside. At night, when interior lights are on, visibility from outside can increase. If nighttime privacy is important, we can recommend layering solar shades with another window treatment.

Do you offer motorized solar shades?

Yes. We offer motorized solar shades for convenient light and glare control. Motorization is especially useful for large windows, high windows, offices, and spaces with multiple shades.

Are solar shades good for large windows?

Yes. Solar shades are a popular choice for large and floor-to-ceiling windows because they provide glare and sunlight control while preserving a streamlined appearance and, depending on the fabric, the outside view.
