Solar Shades

Solar Shades, also known as solar roller shades or sheerweave shades, help decrease light without blocking views. These shades are meant to cut down on bright sunlight and harsh glare while preserving outdoor ambiance. Solar Shades are available in a roller shade design as a low-profile alternative to other window treatments.

Solar Shades are rated with “openness” factors, referring to the amount of sunlight preserved in relation to the amount of shade. For example, a 14% openness factor preserves views while giving about 60% diffused shade. A 3% openness factor rating provides about 75% shade and is perfect for windows that receive direct, bright sunlight. Solar shades range from 1% openness to 30% openness, providing a range of shading opportunities depending on your needs.

All solar shades come in continuous loop designs and are available in a wide variety of colors and fabrics. Solar Shades are perfect for vacation homes, lake houses, offices, and any room where you want to preserve a beautiful view.
