- Customer review5/5
“Great shade- especially for the price. Easy installation. Only thing- you need to offer a valance for my size- 76”W x 120”L. It is gray on the inside and white on the outside. The roller at the top looks really bad exposed.”

“The motorized shades that came pre-programmed from the factory worked very well. The measurements I did and shared with customer assistance for verifcation worked out well.”
Walter

“Blinds ordered came in as measured and were easy to install. I ordered the motorized darkening shade and it works well.”
Mark
- Customer review
“As a designer I was skeptical of placing an online order for blackout roller shades. I called Lester was able to speak to a real live person who answered all my questions and help me place an order that was perfectly sized. The installation was painless as a result. The product itself is well made, and heavy duty. I would order again for clients without any hesitation!”

Corey

“This turned out much better than imagined when ordering. The form and fit was just perfect. Valance put it over the top. Add in the remote for the final touch and control exactly where you want the shade. Blocking the sun in the High Desert in southern California is a must and this works as advertised.”

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is the best openness level for blocking heat and UV rays?
A low openness level of 1% to 3% blocks the most heat, UV, and glare because the tighter weave leaves less open space for sunlight to pass through. It also gives the most daytime privacy. The trade-off is a slightly less open view, so if the view matters most, a 5% openness offers a strong balance of protection and clarity.
Do solar shades provide privacy during the day?
During the day, solar shades let you see out while making it difficult for people outside to see in, so they provide daytime privacy, with lower openness levels giving more. After dark is different. Once interior lights are on at night, solar shades become see-through from outside and the room is visible from the street, so for nighttime privacy you will want to pair them with a room-darkening or blackout shade.
Can solar shades help reduce my energy bills?
Yes. By blocking a significant portion of the sun's heat before it builds up inside, solar shades reduce heat gain through your windows, which eases the load on your air conditioning during hot months. Lower openness fabrics block the most heat, so they deliver the biggest efficiency gain in sunny, view-facing rooms.
Can solar shades be motorized?
Yes. Solar shades are available with motorized operation, which is especially convenient for large or hard-to-reach windows in sunrooms and living rooms. Motorized shades ship with a remote, and an optional Wi-Fi hub lets you integrate them with a smart-home system for scheduling and voice control.
