Solar Roller Shades
Reduce glare. Protect interiors. Preserve your view.
Our custom room darkening and blackout roller shades are designed to block unwanted light, enhance privacy, and create calm, comfortable spaces—without compromising on design. Perfect for luxury homes, these shades deliver both performance and refined aesthetics.
What Are Solar Roller Shades?
Solar roller shades are performance fabrics engineered to reduce heat, glare, and UV exposure while still allowing natural light to enter your home. Unlike blackout or room darkening shades, solar shades preserve your connection to the outdoors while improving comfort indoors.
Each shade is custom fabricated to your exact window dimensions for a precise, seamless fit.
Designed for Sun Control & Comfort
Large windows and open-concept homes bring in beautiful natural light—but also intense glare and heat. Luxury solar roller shades are specifically designed to manage sunlight while maintaining a bright, open feel.
Benefits include:
-
Reduced glare on TVs and screens
-
Protection from UV damage to flooring and furnishings
-
Improved indoor comfort and temperature control
-
Preservation of outdoor views
-
Enhanced daytime privacy
Solar shades are one of the most popular window treatments for modern architecture and desert climates.
UV Protection & Energy Efficiency
Our UV-filtering solar shades help protect your home from sun damage by blocking a significant portion of harmful ultraviolet rays. This helps preserve flooring, furniture, artwork, and finishes while supporting overall energy efficiency.
By reducing solar heat gain, solar roller shades can also help reduce cooling demands—especially in sun-exposed rooms.
Openness Factors Explained
Solar fabrics are available in multiple openness levels, allowing you to choose how much light and view you want to preserve.
1% Openness – Maximum glare and heat reduction, highest privacy
3% Openness – Balanced light control and visibility
5% Openness – Brighter interiors with preserved outdoor views
Our specialists help you select the ideal fabric based on window orientation and lifestyle.
