Why Solar Shades
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.
Best for
West and south-facing living rooms, home offices, and rooms with a view worth keeping.

Questions
Questions about solar shades.
Which window treatments are best for Las Vegas heat?
Stop the sun before it reaches the glass if you can. Exterior solar screens turn away roughly 70–90% of the sun's heat, and they are the most economical way to treat a whole west or south wall. Inside, solar shades cut heat and glare while keeping the view, cellular shades insulate, and composite shutters won't warp or yellow in direct sun. Motorized shades can close themselves at 2pm every summer afternoon, whether or not anyone is home.
What window treatments are best for blocking sunlight?
For a truly dark room, a blackout roller shade with side channels, which close the light gaps at the edges. That matters in bedrooms and for anyone who sleeps days. Cellular shades come in blackout fabrics too. If you want to cut the sun but keep your view, a solar shade blocks up to 99% of UV and comes in openness factors from 1% to 14%: tighter blocks more heat, more open keeps a crisper view. We choose the openness window by window.
What window treatments provide privacy without making a room too dark?
A few good ones. Transitional shades alternate sheer and solid bands, so one shade goes from filtered daylight to full privacy. Top-down bottom-up cellular shades lower from the top for daylight while the bottom half stays private, which we use constantly for front bedrooms and street-side bathrooms. Solar shades keep your view by day; for night privacy we pair one with a blackout on a dual roller. Woven woods need a privacy liner behind them.
How long does it take to receive and install custom shades?
3–5 weeks for blinds and shades, 6–10 weeks for shutters, counted from the day you order. Motorized products take about a week longer. Your lead time is written on your quote, so you know before you say yes. Need privacy sooner? We put up temporary shades for free while you wait. On install day we install, walk through every window with you, clean up, and haul your old blinds away free.
