Solar shades that tame glare and keep the view.
Woven solar screens that cut glare and heat, protect furniture and floors from fading, and still let you see the outdoors.
- Openness: 1 to 14 percent weaves
- View: Remains visible outward by day
- UV protection: Reduces harmful rays
What it is, and why it matters.
Solar shades are made from a woven screen fabric with a measured openness factor. A 3 percent weave blocks more light and heat than a 10 percent weave, but all of them cut glare dramatically while letting you see out. They are the go-to answer for big sunny windows, home theaters and offices with screens.
In the daytime they work like sunglasses for your windows. At night, with the lights on inside, the view reverses and people outside may see in, so we often pair solar shades with drapery or a second shade where privacy matters. For Nashville homes with west-facing glass, they make a patio view usable again in the afternoon.

Solar Shades: common questions
Do solar shades give privacy?
By day, they give good privacy from outside while you can see out. At night with indoor lights on, the effect reverses, so a layered treatment is smart in bedrooms and baths.
What does openness factor mean?
It is the percentage of the fabric that is open weave. A lower number, like 3 percent, blocks more light and heat and gives a darker room, while 10 percent lets in more light and view.
