Solar shades are a type of roller shade that blocks UV light and sunlight glare. Most solar shades are light-filtering and allow a beautiful natural glow to enter the space. Solar shades are perfect for areas of your home that receive large amounts of sunlight, such as living rooms, sunrooms, and enclosed patios. In addition to improving the appearance of the room and controlling natural light, they greatly contribute to the temperature of a space.
For those who need a darker environment, there are also room darkening shades with Light Guard 360, a track-enclosed system that virtually eliminates sunlight from entering the room. These are especially valuable for people who need to sleep during the day, such as night-shift nurses, or in nurseries where children rest best in a dark, quiet space.
