Why Solar Roller Shades?
Glare Reduction Without Darkness
Solar shades filter harsh sunlight and eliminate screen glare while keeping your room bright and your view intact — the best of both worlds.
UV Protection
Block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading while maintaining natural light.
Energy Efficiency
Reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Solar shades can lower cooling costs significantly in sun-facing rooms.
View-Through Openness
Choose your openness factor (1%–14%) to control how much you see through the fabric. Tighter weaves offer more privacy; looser weaves maximize the view.
Daytime Privacy
During the day, solar shades make it harder for people outside to see in, while you maintain a clear outward view.
Motorized Options
Add motorization for effortless control via remote, wall switch, or smart home system. Ideal for large or hard-to-reach windows.
Frequently Asked Questions
What openness factor should I choose?+
1–3% openness is best for maximum glare control and daytime privacy. 5–10% gives a good balance of light control and view. 10–14% maximizes view-through with minimal light filtering. Our team can help you choose.
Do solar shades provide nighttime privacy?+
At night, with interior lights on, solar shades do not provide privacy as the effect reverses. For nighttime privacy, consider pairing solar shades with a blackout roller shade (dual shade system).
Can solar shades be motorized?+
Yes — all solar shades are available with Somfy motorization. Works with Alexa, Google Home, Control4, Lutron, and other smart home platforms.
