Reasons to Choose Solar Shades for Your Home

Solar shades are retractable window treatments made from a tightly woven mesh that filters sunlight, heat, and harmful UV rays while preserving your view of the outdoors. 


Solar shades in Austin, Texas give you flexible control over light, glare, and privacy. Raise or lower them manually with a pull chain, or choose motorized, smart controls and adjust them with a remote, your phone, or your voice. Available in a wide range of colors and light transmission levels from 1% to 14%, solar shades fit your home's style as beautifully as they fit your lifestyle.

UV Protection + Opacity

Over time, UV rays fade furniture, warp wood flooring, and dull the color in rugs, art, and décor. Solar screens and solar shades are woven specifically to filter out the sun's harmful rays, protecting your furnishings while still letting soft, natural light in the room.

Smart Shade Automation

Paired with smart home systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Home, your shades can be raised, lowered, or scheduled with a simple voice command or a tap on your phone, no cords, no reaching, no hassle.

Sustainable Fabrics

Many of our solar shade fabrics are made with recyclable, PVC-free, or PVC-reduced materials. By naturally lowering indoor temperatures, solar shades also ease the load on your air conditioning system, meaning less energy usage.

Total Control at Your Fingertips

Raise or lower your shades manually with a pull chain, or go motorized and smart for remote, app or voice control. Open them on cloudy days and in winter, and close them when the sun is at its strongest.

Glare Reduction With a View

The mesh fabric softens blinding glare on screens and furniture while preserving your view of the outdoors. Choose a light transmission level from 1% to 14% to balance light, privacy and view.

Which Solar Shade Is Best For You?

Top 3 Rooms to Install Solar Shades In

Living Rooms with Large Windows

Cut TV and screen glare while keeping your expansive views, and adjust the light as the day changes.

Home Office

Reduce glare on your monitor and soften harsh afternoon sun without losing natural light.

Sunrooms, Patios & Covered Decks

Exterior-mounted solar shades act as a retractable roller system that keeps outdoor living spaces cooler and more comfortable, and roll up when you want to enjoy the open air.

Solar Shades vs. Solar Screens

What's the Difference?

Solar shades and solar screens both use a tightly woven mesh fabric to block sunlight, heat and UV rays. The main difference is where they're mounted and how they operate. Not sure which one fits your home? We'll help you decide.


Solar shades pros: maximum convenience, flexible light and view control, a wide variety of colors and styles, and easy to raise on cloudy days or in winter.


Solar shades to keep in mind: interior-mounted shades let some heat into the room, and at night, with interior lights on, people outside may be able to see in.

If stopping heat at the glass is your top priority, ask us about exterior-mounted solar shades or solar screens. If you want flexibility, style and control, solar shades are the right fit.
