Solar shades diffuse light, minimize glare, and still allow a view through the fabric. They also protect your furnishings from UV rays and reduce the sun’s heat, which can lower cooling costs. A wise choice with many stylish options, either alone or paired with other window treatments.<\/h3>\n

What are solar shades and solar blinds?<\/b><\/p>\n

Solar shades and solar blinds offer excellent sun- and light-blocking benefits. If excessive sunlight shines through your windows, then solar shades may be the ideal solution. Solar shades are an excellent window treatment option for windows in rooms that are exposed to the sun. Besides simply blocking the light, solar shades also reduce glare, protect against harmful UV rays, and prevent fading from the sun on carpets, furniture, and household surfaces.<\/p>\n

What are solar shades made of?<\/b><\/p>\n

Solar shades are made with a coated material that is finely and tightly woven to provide light and heat coverage. Typically this material is made from vinyl, but there are many options to choose from. If you want to compare different types of solar shade materials, I can bring you solar shade swatches to find the best match for your home before making a decision.<\/p>\n

Understanding solar shade percentages<\/b><\/p>\n

Horizontal wood and metal blinds come in a wide selection of stains, colors, and metal finishes.<\/p>\n

Easy to Clean<\/b><\/p>\n

When it comes to choosing window treatments, you may notice that some solar shades may have different percentage options. These solar shade percentages represent the openness factor, or how much UV rays and light are filtered through the shades. A lower percentage number indicates a greater solar shade opacity.<\/p>\n

For example, if you want a significant amount of light and UV protection, you should choose a solar shade with 1% -3% openness. For moderate light control and protection, 5% solar shades are a good choice. However, if you want to allow more light, you can choose solar shades with up to 10% openness.<\/p>\n

Do solar shades provide privacy?<\/b><\/p>\n

Solar shades offer moderate daytime privacy and can prevent people from being able to see into your home. Of all the solar shade options, 1% solar shades may offer the most privacy, since they have the tightest weave. If you\u2019re looking for maximum privacy over light control, however, you may be better off with a more protective option, like roller shades. You can also get the best of both worlds by layering solar shades with drapery to provide light filtering during the day and additional privacy at night.<\/p>\n

Do solar shades block out heat?<\/b><\/p>\n

In addition, solar shades help to reduce heat by minimizing glare and blocking out light. Similar to the degree of light that is allowed in, the level of heat protection from solar shades also depends on the openness of the weave (the solar shade percentage). The fabric color can also influence heat and light blockage. Since lighter fabrics reflect more light compared to darker ones, choose darker fabrics if you want to block more light and heat.
\nThere is UV science behind the shade<\/p>\n

Particularly perfect for patios and sunrooms \u2013 but compatible with all light-filled spaces \u2013 screen shades maintain your outdoor views while providing UV protection and curbing harsh rays to protect your works of art or fade-prone furniture.<\/p>\n

Key features<\/b><\/p>\n

Special fabrics \u2013<\/b>\u00a0new eco-friendly solar screen shades boast yarn made from reclaimed, washed-ashore plastic.<\/p>\n

UV protection \u2013<\/b>\u00a0protect your furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading. Solar shade fabrics block between 86% and 99% of the sun\u2019s damaging rays.<\/p>\n

Superior operation \u2013<\/b>\u00a0the custom clutch operating system features modern hardware and precision-tuned lift technology that delivers smooth operation, ease of lifting, and the smallest light gap in the industry.<\/p>\n

Multiple opacities \u2013<\/b>\u00a0solar shade fabrics are organized by openness factor. Openness is the weave density of screen fabric affecting the degree of visibility, privacy, glare, and UV blockage. There are options ranging from most view\/least privacy to minimal view\/maximum privacy.<\/p>\n

Top & bottom treatments \u2013<\/b>\u00a0customize these shades with top treatments that conceal the fabric roll for a clean look. A selection of bottom treatments includes fabric-wrapped options.<\/p>\n

Direct and reflected light from a beachfront view can be especially harsh, damaging materials and fading fabrics. Solar shades are very useful in minimizing those effects.<\/p>\n

Solar Shade transparency and protection<\/b><\/p>\n

The percentages attached to each solar material (1, 3, 5, 7 & 10%) indicate both the tightness of the material\u2019s weave and how much protection from the sun it offers. Lower percentages mean tighter weaves, less transparency, and more UV protection. 5% is a good balance of transparency and protection.<\/p>\n
