Outdoor & Patio Shades
Outdoor shades provide insulation for your home, minimizing heat transfer through windows. Patio and outdoor shades effectively block UV rays and sunlight without compromising your daytime view.
Solar Outdoor Shades
Solar Outdoor Shades act as a barrier, shielding patios and windows from the sun’s intense heat. Their UV-blocking capabilities safeguard your furniture and floors, helping to cool your home and transform outdoor patios into comfortable living spaces, even in the hottest months. These exterior shades come in a diverse range of textured solids and patterns, adding a touch of beauty. The light-filtering knit or woven fabric construction effectively reduces glare without darkening the interior of a room.
Designed to endure the elements, Solar Outdoor Shades are constructed with weather-resistant materials, ensuring resistance to fading, mold, and mildew. Easy to clean, these shades feature a smooth-action roller-clutch mechanism for a seamless and even roll. Additionally, they come with color-matched cords as a standard feature.

Solar Shades
Indoor solar shades are ideal window treatments in rooms where you want to reduce glare and ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Solar shades are designed to cut down on harmful sun rays while still maintain your view outside. Reducing glare is ideal in home theaters and media rooms where annoying glares on a tv screen can disrupt the experience.
Solar shades also block UV rays helping to diffuse light, control heat buildup, and even protect furniture.
Why Choose Indoor Solar Shades?
Solar shades are the perfect choice for many rooms and styles. Here’s why:
- Glare Protection: Solar shades significantly reduce glare from the sun and are ideal choices in media rooms and home theaters, or anywhere you spend time watching TV.
- UV Blocking: Solar shades help to block harmful UV rays, protecting furniture and helping to cut down on heat buildup.
- Keep Your View: Solar shades block rays but don’t obstruct your view, allowing you to see outside.
Optional Upgrades
Solar shades are also available with a range of upgrade options to further customize and get the perfect window treatment for your room.
- Cordless Lift: This popular option provides a hidden control system that eliminates the lift cord on your solar shades and enables the shades to be easily raised or lowered with the touch of a finger.
- Continuous Cord Loop Controls: With this option, the cords on your solar blinds will be secured to wall or window frame, meaning your shades will have fewer visible cords. A great choice for larger/heavier shades.
- Motorized Lift: This option lets you raise or lower your solar shades at the touch of a button, it’s ideal for hard-to-reach windows, households with children and pets, and bedrooms.
- Opacity: This option allows you to choose how much light the indoor solar shades let into a room. Choose from light filtering materials with various percentages of light blocking or go full blackout, ideal in bedrooms and movie rooms.
Other Considerations
While indoor solar shades are a great option for window coverings, they may not be the perfect option for everyone or for every room. A few things to consider:
- Inside mount solar shades must meet a minimum depth requirement to accommodate the mechanism. As a result, inside mount option may experience some light gaps. For a full light blocking installation, consider going with an outside mount.
- Solar blinds with a light filtering fabric will not provide nighttime privacy as the same visibility you get during the day will be reversed at night when lights are on inside the home. For more privacy, consider going with a blackout fabric.
