The right amount of sunlight streaming through your windows casts a pleasant glow in a room, suffusing it with warmth. Too much sunlight, however, creates a harsh, blinding glare, and you tend to avoid spending time in that room. Eliminate the glare, and enjoy your room again, with solar shades. These window treatments are ideal for homes where light control is a primary concern. At Stoneside, we specialize in solar window shades that effectively block sunlight while giving your room a stylish, fresh look.

The Best in Custom Solar Shades

Solar shades are specially crafted to reduce the amount of sunlight that comes through your windows. These window treatments are made from a woven material, and the tighter the weave, the less light comes in. This gives you the ability to tailor your solar window shades to your specific needs. They also have the added benefit of offering protection from UV exposure, which can cause long-term damage to expensive home furnishings and fixtures.

Like other types of shades, solar shades are simple to use. They can be raised and lowered to whatever height you need and are available with different operating systems: loop cord, cordless, and motorized. These convenient automated systems let you program your shades and move them up or down with a remote, wall switch, or a smart device.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Shades

What are Solar Shades?

The shade consists of a flat piece of material that rolls up or down from a headrail at the top of the window treatment. It can be operated by a cord loop, cordless, or motorized system.

How Do Solar Window Shades Reduce Glare?

The woven material on these shades is rated by an openness factor. The more open, or loose, the weave, the more light is let through. Openness factors range from 1% to 14%; 1% indicates a tight, dense weave that lets in minimal light, while 14% signifies a looser weave.

What are the Dimensions of Solar Shades?

These window treatments can be customized to fit your windows. Widths range from 8” to 192” and lengths from 12” to 168”.

What Kinds of Features Do Solar Shades Have?

In addition to the various operating systems, our custom solar shades can be ordered in many different colors, with options for decorative valances, headrails, and hem bars. KOOLBLACK® Technology can be added for maximum glare reduction.
