“Look nice. Good quality. Great price! Measurement advisories about shades being shorter than full measured width are confusing. Why not simply ask for width to be covered and just cut shades automatically?”

“We are very pleased with our new solar shades. They went up without any problems and look amazing!! They are translucent enough to allow in light, but no one is able to see inside the windows. The color and texture is exactly what I wanted. Thank you for your great service and expediting them within two weeks.”

“We have 3 10' tall windows with a nice view, BUT the afternnoon sun just cooks us in the summer. We can't see our TV to watch a movie, and two chairs were already fading from it. We measured as Blindster directed, and ordered the shades. They came faster than expected, and my husband put them up with no issues. We are loving them. We can still see the mountains through them. They help cut the glare and the sun in late afternoon, then we can raise them in the evening and morning. They are wonderful!”

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.
