Solar Shades
Protect your home from UV rays with our solar shades
Functional yet stylish
Solar Shades (also known as Sun Shades) are a popular choice at Toronto Window Treatments. They are an attractive, modern solution that provide protection from harmful UV rays. Let’s learn a little and see if Solar Shades will work for you!
How do solar shades work?
Solar Shades are made from a unique fabric expertly designed to block light and heat from entering your home (which is a great way to lower your energy bills!). Fabrics with a tighter weave will allow less light in. Shades like the Hunter Douglas Screen Sun Shades are made of a high-quality fabric that reduces glare and light, providing UV protection for you and your family.
Where should I install them?
It’s best to install Solar Shades on a window where privacy isn’t an issue. We recommend Solar Shades kitchens and living rooms where you can take advantage of its energy-saving qualities and enjoy a great view outside.
How to choose the right solar shade for your home
Solar Shades are graded based on the amount of UV rays they allow to pass through them. For example, a 5% Openness Solar Shade will block 95% of all UV light, while allowing about 5% of light into your home.
Solar Window Shades (also known as Sun Shades or Screen Shades) are crafted with a specially designed fabric woven tight enough to protect against UV rays, but also optimise your view. These roller shades have an open weave fabric that allows for airflow and a bit of light, while maintaining your privacy during the day (though at night, the effect is reversed). These shades are best for those living in a remote area.
Available at the following openness: 1% 3% 5% 10% 14% and light filtering.
