See what makes it special →

Bright light and harsh glare are no match for our Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Solar Shades!  Each shade features an internal motor and rechargeable battery, and is raised and lowered via remote control for convenient and effortless operation, perfect for raising several shades at once and for hard to reach shades. The unique solar screen fabric blocks between 90 and 99% of incoming light depending on the openness level you choose – the higher the openness, the more light and visibility there is through the shade. Solar screen material is woven in such a way that most UV rays and direct sunlight are blocked and the remaining light is softened throughout the room. Perfect for windows with direct sun and anywhere you want light to be evenly diffused into the room.  All with motorized shades you can raise with the push of a button!

Basic shade facts:

  • Motorized lift features long-lasting rechargeable battery and easy remote-control operation
  • At least one remote control must be ordered to operate shades
  • One charging cord is included per order
  • Choose the "openness" level of the fabric that works best for you – 1%, 3%, 5% or 10%
  • The higher the openness level, the more light will come through and the more view-through you have
  • All fabric options provide daytime privacy only (you can see out but others can't see in)

Key features and benefits:

  • Sleek motorized operation raises and lowers shades effortlessly via remote control
  • Rechargeable battery lasts for months between charges with typical daily use
  • Reduce cooling costs by blocking the heat and UV rays from incoming sunlight, prevent premature fading of furnishings
  • Unlike fabric shades that cover the window, you can still see through solar shades during the daytime
  • Greenguard Gold certified for indoor clean air quality with extra low levels of VOCs and other chemicals
  • Fire retardant, fragrance free and non-toxic shade material
  • Meets all CPSC requirements for child safety

Important things to consider:

  • Solar shades do not provide privacy at night (a lit room will be visible from the outside)
  • You can use a second window treatment if nighttime privacy is needed
  • The fabric width will be up to 1 3/8" narrower than the ordered width in order to accommodate the mounting brackets and control mechanisms at the top of the shade
  • A single remote control can operate multiple shades – you can have one remote for all the shades in your home, or use a different remote for each room

How to Measure

How to Measure: Inside Mount

3 min read

Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window!  Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:

  • Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. To mount the brackets, the depth at the top of the window must be at least 2 1/4" for shades without a cassette valance and 2 5/8" for shades with a cassette valance. To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3" without a cassette valance and 3 ¼" for shades with a cassette valance. If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.

How to Measure:

Let's start with the Width:

  • Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8".  That is your ordering width.

Now, let's do the Height:

  • Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.

Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/8" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets. 

The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1" – 1 1/2" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric). When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product. 

No deductions will be made to the ordered height. 

How to Measure: Outside Mount

3 min read

Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. You will need at least 2 ¼" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets for shades without a cassette valance, or at least 3" for shades with a cassette valance. Follow the directions below for where you'd like to install your shade.

If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.

Your ordered width will be the "tip to tip" measurement, which is the widest part of the top of the shade including the brackets and cassette valance (if applicable). The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 7/8" to 1 3/8" narrower than the ordered width (up to 3/4" on each side. If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider – just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade.

Width:

  • Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
  • Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.

Height: 

  • Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
  • Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

Width:

  • Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on either side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
  • Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including any desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.

Height: 

  • Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window.
  • Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

Note: The shade fabric may rub against the trim when operating. If your trim is more than 1/2" thick, consider adding shims (not included) under the brackets for additional clearance. If your trim is 3/4" or thicker, we recommend ordering the shade with the reverse roll option.

Width:

  • We don't normally recommend mounting roller shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the bracket to bracket measurement which cannot exceed the width of your trim. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim.
  • Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim.  That is your ordering width. 
  • Note that the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than your ordered width.

Height: 

  • Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height.

Width:

  • Using a metal tape measure, measure left to right from the outside edge of the trim piece that goes around the glass to the other outside edge. That is your ordering width. However, if you have space, it is best to order the shade about 2-3" wider for better light control.

Height:

  • Consider how far above the window trim piece you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Measure down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below the window trim piece as you used above. That is your ordering height.

Note: This product is not available with hold down brackets (for attaching the bottom of the shade to the door to prevent swaying). We recommend considering a different product if installing on a door where the bottom of the shade is likely to swing back and forth.

Motorized Deluxe Light Filtering Solar Shades for Modern Homes

Motorized deluxe light-filtering solar shades are built for modern homes that want everyday convenience without sacrificing a clean, modern design. These solar shades use light filtering to soften brightness and help reduce glare while still maintaining outdoor views in many openness levels. With motorized options made for every day convenience, hard-to-reach windows and large windows, you can easily operate your window shades with consistent results across different window dimensions. This window treatment delivers practical functionality and a modern aesthetic that fits a wide range of living spaces.

Light Filtering Fabric That Supports Natural Light and UV Protection

Light filtering fabric is ideal when you want natural light without harsh direct sunlight washing out the room. By allowing natural light, solar shades support UV protection that can help limit harmful UV rays and reduce solar heat gain, which can also support energy savings over time. If your goal is comfort throughout the day, these roller shades help keep the brightness more even, so indoor lights are not constantly needed. For rooms that feel too exposed, darker shades can improve privacy and screen visibility while still keeping a view to the outdoors.

Light Control and Reduce Glare Without Losing the View

When you need better light control, light-filtering solar shades are a strong choice because they reduce glare while still keeping the room comfortable. Filtering solar shades are often chosen for living room setups and other bright living spaces where the goal is a perfect balance between privacy, brightness, and visibility. Compared to blackout shades and blackout options, these solar shades prioritize daytime comfort and outside view rather than total darkness. The result is a more inviting atmosphere that preserves outdoor views while keeping the light more manageable.

Motorized Blinds for Effortless Control

Motorized shades offer remote control operation to help streamline your daily routine. With motorized solar shades, you can add easy and precise control to your window covering setup. With a remote control, you can operate single shades independently, or multiple shades simultaneously. Motorized shades are perfect for everyday convenience  as well hard-to-reach windows.

Fit, Mounting, and Roller Shade Performance Across Rooms

Solar shades should be sized to your window frame and selected based on how you want the space to feel, whether it is a bright, open look or more privacy in busy areas. Roller shades are a dependable option for new construction and renovations because they keep the look consistent and help create a perfect shade solution that matches the room. For added convenience, a cordless design keeps the window area cleaner and safer while maintaining a sleek finish. If your goal is the perfect blend of function and style, solar shades can help reduce energy costs while keeping the home comfortable and visually cohesive.

FAQ

What makes motorized deluxe light-filtering solar shades a smart choice for everyday use?

Motorized deluxe light-filtering solar shades combine smooth operation with light-filtering solar performance to create a perfect balance of comfort and visibility. They work well as window shades in modern spaces, helping manage brightness in large windows while maintaining a clean, modern design.

Are motorized blinds suitable for living rooms and other main spaces?

Yes, motorized blinds are ideal for a living room and other shared areas where consistent control of light matters. They help reduce glare, support energy savings, and keep the window frame visually uncluttered for a more polished look.

How do light-filtering solar shades compare to outdoor shades or blackout options?

Light filtering solar shades are designed to be see-through enough to preserve views while softening sunlight, unlike shades for outdoors or blackout options that fully block light. This makes them a great choice when you want comfort without sacrificing openness.
