UV protection

Because they substantially block UV rays, these shades will help reduce the fading of furniture, carpet and other decor, and keep you and your family safe from prolonged UV sun exposure in your home.

Screen Openness

Solar screens are window shades designed for blocking sunlight, and are available in screen openness factors from 3% to 14%.  The smaller the number, the less 'open' the screen is.  So for maximum view-through choose a high % openness number.  For greater privacy, choose small % openness numbers.

Fabrics

Solar shades are offered in a surprising range of colors and fabrics.  Choose from numerous colors as well as stripes, patterns and weaves that more closely resemble natural materials.

Privacy

If privacy is a major concern, solar shades may not be the best choice.  As a rule of thumb, how well you can see out of your windows is approximately how well people can see into your home.  This can be even more apparent at night when images in your home are back lit.  For maximum privacy, choose smaller screen openness factors (3-5%).

Options

Take advantage of our popular lift options like cordless solar shades and motorized solar shades.  Consider cordless solar shades if you have small children in your home, as dangling cords can be dangerous.  Plus, cordless shades offer a cleaner, uncluttered look.  Motorized window shades provide the ultimate in convenience and are especially useful for high or hard to reach windows.

Energy efficient

Indoor sun shades are made from a mesh material that very effectively reduces the absorption of heat through the window.  They absorb and reflect solar heat before it actually enters the window.  So, by limiting solar heat gain, these modern solar shades are very energy efficient and will help to lower your utility bills.  Plus they work in both the summer and winter.  In the summer, they limit solar heat gain and in the winter, they help prevent radiant heat from escaping to the outside.

Why custom?

Custom window shades are made based on your window measurements and specifications so they fit properly and work better.  Our solar shades and solar screens are of top quality and come in a much wider range of colors, styles and options.  The superior production process and premium materials used in our solar shades help extend the life of your window treatments, and provide a superb roductsproduct that complements your other home furnishings.
