Solar shades and five more ways to tame the glare.

A solar screen is a fine weave you see out through. The tighter the weave, the more glare it stops, and the less you see out.

Who it’s for

Quick picks.

    A screen in front cuts the glare by day. The blackout blind behind makes it dark for a film.

  • Glare on your laptop

    A solar screen by the desk

    You keep the daylight and the view, and your screen stays easy to read.

Questions

Common questions

Something else? Call 647-300-1033.

What are solar shades?
They are roller shades in a screen fabric: a fine weave you see out through. They cut glare and heat, and keep your view by day.
How open should the weave be?
A tighter weave stops more glare and heat, but shows less of the view. The middle setting is what most people choose. You decide from real samples.
Will a screen give me privacy at night?
No. By day it is hard to see in. At night, with the lights on, people outside can see in. Add a second blind behind, like the Opera system.
Do solar shades protect my floors?
They help. Screen fabrics cut the sun coming in, which helps protect floors and furniture from fading.
Can the shades follow the sun?
Yes, with a motor. Our smart-home automation can lower a screen for the afternoon sun and raise it again later.
