Solar window shades filter and diffuse light, reducing glare and heat, while maintaining an outside view and soothing light. The darker the shade color, the better the glare control. The lighter the shade color, the better the temperature control.

Solar shades also protect furniture and carpets from damaging UV rays. For example, 97% of UV rays are blocked by window shade fabric with 3% openness. Remember, solar window shades do not offer full privacy at night, as lighted interiors allow inward visibility.

Our custom solar window shades are made-to-order. The shade cloth is a woven vinyl/polyester with a basketweave design (3% openness), and is available in eleven colors. The shades operate by a beaded chain and clutch lift system which make raising and lowering the shade easy.

The minimum shade size is 12" wide x 12" high.

ORDERING IS EASY
1) Enter your height and width dimensions
2) Indicate how you will mount the shade, and select the chain control location
3) Choose a color and if optional fascia is desired, choose the fascia color

Solar Window Shades are made to order, so if your exact measurement isn't listed, contact our experts at (800) 725-3266 for assistance — we are happy to help you get exactly what you need, no matter your requirements.

HOW TO MEASURE

Watch our helpful videos below on measuring for and installing window shades.

FOR INSIDE MOUNT SHADES

To be installed inside the window casing or frame
 

• Measure the exact inside width of the window frame from one inside edge to the other.
• Measure in at least three different places and record the narrowest measurement
• Measure the exact height inside the window frame
• Do NOT take any clearance deductions
• On inside mount shades, there will be a small light gap on each side 

FOR OUTSIDE MOUNT SHADES

To be installed outside the window frame, covering an area larger than the window itself
 

• Measure the exact area that needs to be covered by the shade
• We recommend covering 4’’ beyond the window on all sides of the window, including the top and bottom
• Provide a width and height measurement
• Make no allowances for outside mount shades
