Solar Shades in Las Vegas

Solar shades are a technical screen fabric rather than a decorative one. The weave blocks a measured percentage of solar energy and UV while leaving the weave open enough to see through, so you keep the view and lose the glare and the heat that comes with it.

The number that matters is openness factor. A three percent screen is tight — maximum heat and UV rejection, a softer view. A ten percent screen keeps a crisp view but lets more energy through. Choosing between them depends on which direction the window faces and what is outside it, and it is exactly the decision people get wrong buying online.

For a valley where west-facing glass takes a beating from two in the afternoon until sunset, and where UV quietly bleaches hardwood, rugs, and leather, solar shades are the single most practical upgrade we sell. They also cut the glare that makes a television or a monitor unusable in the afternoon.
