Why Choose Solar Shades?

Solar shades are engineered to block UV rays and minimize heat gain, all while maintaining outward visibility. Their refined, minimalist design pairs beautifully with modern, transitional, or even traditional interiors, making them one of the most versatile window treatments available.

Smart Light Control

Our solar fabrics are rated by “openness” (1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%) to let you choose just how much light enters your home. Want to reduce glare in your home office or protect artwork from sun damage in your living room? There’s a solar shade solution for that.

Energy-Efficient by Design

By filtering out solar heat during the day, solar shades help keep indoor temperatures cooler—reducing your reliance on AC and contributing to year-round energy savings. The result? A more comfortable space and lower utility bills.
