Improve Your View with Solar Shades

We love the gorgeous sunsets in Albuquerque, but sometimes the glare that comes with them is less than ideal. Solar shades help to reduce glare and heat while allowing you to maintain your view of the outdoors. Blind Scapes carries Hunter Douglas solar shades to ensure you get the highest quality on the market.

Why Solar Shades?

You may wonder what makes solar shades different from any other window treatment. After all, many shades will block light and afford you privacy, right? While that may be true, other window coverings don’t allow you the significant view-through and glare reduction provided by solar shades. Solar shades give your furniture, floors, and artwork effective protection from damaging UV rays. You can also enjoy increased energy efficiency, and lower utility costs as solar screen shades block heat before it enters your home and needs to be cooled.

Choosing a color and opacity is another essential component of purchasing these shades. Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas are available in over 130 fabric and color choices and five opacity options. The opacity of solar shades is also known as an openness factor. A higher openness provides less privacy but a better view than a lower openness factor. The fabric color also makes a difference in your view and level of heat protection. A lighter shade will reflect more heat but blur your view, while a darker color absorbs heat and glare to give you a comfortable, squint-free view. If you have an outdoor patio or deck area attached to your home, using indoor and outdoor solar shades will create a design continuity throughout your home.

The Industry Standard

All solar shades are not created equal, and Hunter Douglas delivers the best you can buy. Designer Roller Shades have one of the smallest light gaps in the industry and smooth operation thanks to the beaded loop control. The Dual Roller system allows you to choose any two of the sustainably sourced GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabrics and have the shades placed one in front of the other. A Dual Roller gives you the freedom to have as much light or privacy as you want on a single window.

The roller style design of these shades makes them an incredibly user-friendly window treatment. Their lightweight design provides easy operation for those of any age and ability. You can keep your shades looking like new with minimal effort. Simply use a soft cloth to wipe away any dust and debris.
