• Great blind

  Very nice blind with the perfect amount of solar shade for my balcony with direct afternoon sun.

• Excellent shade for porch!

  If the late afternoon sun shines directly into your screen porch like mine, get the 5pct open instead of 10pct. It won't be too dark and you can still see through it. An added bonus is that it will keep the heat out! Not only does it reflect light but heat as well! My plants on the west side of the porch don't cook and dry out anymore, but get the filtered light they need. No more moving planters back and forth! You can't go wrong with these for a screen porch.

• SOLAR SHADES

  I PURCHASED SHADES FOR MY DECK TO BLOCK THE AFTERNOON SUN. THREE DIFFERENT SIZES. THE INSTALLATION WAS EFFORTLESS AND QUICK. THEY WORK VERY WELL AND LOOK REALY GOOD. I AND MY WIFE LOVE THEM. THANK YOU TO THE ASSOCIATE THAT HELPED ME WITH INFORMATION ABOUT COLORS AND MEASUREMENTS. I MADE THE ORDER ON LINE AND THE FIT WAS PERFECT, AND WE HAD THREE DIFFERENT SIZE SHADES. THANKS!

• Cooler in the Shade

  Very pleased with the shades themselves, installation and follow up on a remake. Would definitely recommend.

• BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!

  We have two large west facing windows and the solar shades we bought from Blindster were amazing. It saved us this hot summer! And the customer service was by far the best I have ever experience. GOOD JOB!

• Exterior Solar Shade

  I purchased an exterior solar shade to reduce the heat coming in a picture window in the afternoon. It was very easy to install and the savings in my cooling bill should more than pay for the blind. The house stays much cooler now without the air conditioning on.

• Solar Shade 5% Open

  I ordered reverse roll, but it came as front roll. I'm not impressed with plastic bead chains. Feels flimsy. Not sure how long it will hold up to raising & lowering shades. The shade does block out a lot of west sun, so I'm pleased with that aspect.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you had a problem. I will contact you to get photos so that we can get the shade remade.

• Great Outdoor Shades

  My wife and i recently purchased seven of these shades for our outdoor room. They were a great investment for our area. I wish i would have ordered the valances with the shades but they look and work great as is. the only negative i have is with the connectors for the bead chain of the seven i have three that pop open, one of those falls off all the time, maybe a stronger material is called for.

• Outdoor solar shades

  Disappointed in delivery time. It took over twice as long as stated in order. No communication from the company about the delays. I had to call 4 times to see when they would be shipped. The blind cords have a connecting piece for both ends of the cord and it is a pain to pass thru the wall attachment stop piece. You have to manually put it through each time you raise and lower the blinds. Also if you mount the blinds outside anywhere close to a rough surface and the blind edge touches they will start to fray. Mine did in one day. I am considering returning and getting another brand.

  Response from Blindster

  I'm sorry you were so disappointed. Unfortunately, the factory was running behind during the weeks following the July 4th holiday. I have called and left a voicemail for you to call. The cords should move smoothly through the clutches. The blinds usually fray because they are not raising and lowering straight. This can be caused by the shades not being level or the fabric may not be attached completely straight. This is usually an easy fix to balance the fabric. Thank you for letting us know.

• Great Value!

  Installed the solar shades on my dock. Afternoon sun made it almost impossible to sit on the dock after 3:00 pm. Now, with the Solar Shades we can enjoy our dock until sunset. Great purchase - Great value.

• Am ordering more

  We love to sit on our front porch but gets 100% sun from 2p.m. on.We bought one shade to see how well it worked and have to say it's great!We ordered the charcoal,which actually looks black,but are able to see through it.the shade cuts glare way down,therefore cutting the heat down a bit.We live in western NY so will be taking it down from october til probably April but it has definetly brought a level of comfort for our short summer.Installation wasn't difficult as long as you read the instructions on the website first.Hanging shades is usually a no brainer but my husband didn't read the part about lining up the channel with the chain.Once he straightened that out-SMOOTH operation.The material seems very sturdy and the roller itself well made.The universal brackets are nice so there are several options for hanging them.They do bend a bit,I will probably order some extras as I think they may get stressed fro removing and re-hanging the shade as we have to.

• Perfect!

  This neutral shade did the trick - it made our patio useable in the late afternoon. It works smoothly, installed easily (with 2 minutes of help from a second person), and looks great! Love the transparency, too. My only suggestion would be to include screws/anchors for installing the cord into brick/masonry, which would come in handy for many outdoor installations I would imagine
