Why Solar Shades Are the Smart Choice

Reduce Glare Without Losing Natural Light

Solar shades gently filter sunlight, minimizing glare on screens and surfaces while allowing soft daylight to enter your space.

Keep Indoor Spaces Cool and Comfortable

By reducing heat buildup, solar shades help maintain a cooler environment indoors, improving energy efficiency and everyday comfort.

Protect Furniture and Floors from UV Damage

These shades block harmful UV rays that can fade furniture, flooring, and artwork over time—helping preserve your home’s interior.

Modern Look with Minimal Maintenance

With clean lines and durable materials, solar shades offer a sleek look that’s easy to maintain and fits any modern décor.

Ideal for Patios, Sunrooms, and Porches

Solar outdoor shades work perfectly for screened porches, patios, and sunrooms, offering shade without closing off your view.

Customize Your Solar Shades Your Way

At Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds, your solar shades are designed to fit your lifestyle and space perfectly. Choose between interior solar shades that softly filter sunlight in living rooms or bedrooms, and exterior solar shades built to handle direct sun and outdoor conditions on patios or sunrooms. We offer manual options for simplicity, or upgrade to motorized solar shades for effortless control with a remote, app, or voice command. Each shade can be customized by openness percentage—how much light you want filtered versus how much view you’d like to retain. Options range from light-filtering fabrics to more opaque, privacy-enhancing cloths. Whether you’re shading large sliding doors, a sunroom full of windows, or a skylight, we’ll craft a solution that fits with precision. Our solar shade fabric options come in various textures, colors, and UV-blocking levels to match your interior or outdoor setting. Every order is measured and made to ensure a smooth install and a perfect finish that brings comfort, protection, and timeless style to your home.

Our shades use high-performance materials that reduce glare and block out up to 99% of harmful UV rays, helping protect your interior from heat and sun damage. Whether you choose interior or exterior solar shades, every design is engineered to deliver long-lasting results. With options like solar shades for sliding glass doors, porches, or patio windows, your spaces stay cooler, brighter, and safer. At Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds, we blend design with durability so your shades look great and work hard—all year round.

Things to Know Before You Buy Solar Shades

By considering these details, you’ll enjoy solar shades that not only fit beautifully but also perform exactly how you need them to. At Black’s Shutters Shades & Blinds, we’re here to help you make the best choice from start to finish.

Understanding Shade Direction & Sun Exposure
Knowing where the sun hits your windows matters. East-facing windows may benefit from lighter openness, while west-facing ones often need greater UV protection. Tailoring solar shades to the direction of sunlight in your space can boost comfort and energy savings.
Choosing the Right Openness Percentage
Openness levels (like 1%, 5%, or 10%) determine how much light passes through. Lower percentages block more light and UV, while higher ones preserve more view.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Performance
Solar shades are low maintenance. Dust with a dry cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment. Spot clean gently with mild soap and water as needed.
Where to Use: Sunrooms, Patios, and More
These shades are versatile. Use solar shades for sunrooms, skylights, sliding glass doors, screened porches, or patios. Their heat-blocking and view-preserving features make them ideal for both inside and outside.

Expert Advice for the Best Shade Setup

Our team recommends choosing interior solar shades with 3–5% openness for living rooms where you want a balance of light and privacy. For patios or sunrooms, use exterior solar shades made from weather-resistant fabrics that block heat while letting air flow. Smart or automatic solar shades work best for hard-to-reach windows or large rooms where consistent control matters. When choosing fabric color, remember dark tones enhance the view but absorb more heat, while lighter shades reflect light and keep rooms cooler. We’ll help you find the right setup, style, and function for every room or outdoor area.
