Sun-Blocking Shades to Beat Bright Light
When natural light pours through your windows, it can damage your furniture and decor over time. At Blinds and Shutters of All Kinds, we help prevent faded flooring and upholstery with solar shade window treatments and other sun-blocking shades, so you can enjoy natural light without the harmful UV rays.
Located in Newhall, California, we carry Hunter Douglas window treatments that help you manage and block light, and we'll help you customize them to perfectly suit your home and lifestyle.
What Are Solar Shade Window Treatments?
Solar shade window treatments are roller shades made from specially woven fabric designed to filter sunlight while keeping your view of the outdoors intact. The tightness of the weave, called the openness factor, determines how much light comes through. A lower openness factor means a tighter weave, more sun blocking, and a little less visibility. A higher openness factor lets in more light with a clearer view.
Our Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades are our top recommendation for sun-blocking shades. They come in a wide variety of colors and fabrics, so it's easy to find an option that fits both your windows and your interior style. We'll help you choose the right openness factor for your space and light control goals.
Darker fabric colors make it easier to see out while adding daytime privacy, similar to how sunglasses work: you can see through them, but the light is filtered. Designer Screen Shades can block up to 99% of UV rays, reducing the fading of furniture, flooring, and artwork and decreasing glare and eye strain throughout the day.
Other Sun-Blocking Shades to Consider
If Designer Screen Shades aren't quite your style, we carry several other shades that offer meaningful UV protection. These options filter and soften incoming light rather than giving you a clear view, so they work especially well in rooms where privacy or a softer ambiance is a priority:
- Silhouette® Window Shadings or Pirouette® Window Shadings, which pair sheer fabric for UV protection with adjustable fabric vanes so you can customize exactly how much light and privacy you want
- Luminette® Privacy Sheers, a vertical sheer option with rotating fabric vanes that works especially well for large, wide, or tall windows and sliding glass doors
- Layered liners, which pair with an existing shade to add an extra level of light control at any window without replacing your current treatment
How Motorization Makes Sun-Blocking Shades Even Better
Motorization takes the guesswork out of protecting your home from the sun. With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, you can control your shades from the PowerView® app on your phone or the Pebble® Remote. Add the PowerView Gateway to connect your shades with your smart home system and control them with your voice from anywhere.
You can also build schedules so your shades lower automatically at the times that matter most. Sunrise and sunset timers keep your home comfortable throughout the day without you having to manually adjust your shades.
