Why Install Solar Shades?

Before we discuss where to install solar shades, we need to share why it is a must to install them in your home. Too much sun exposure can cause fading, cracking, and other irreversible sun damage to items in your home, elevate the interior temperature, and cause glare.

On the other hand solar shades provide a several benefits:

• Versatile sun protection
• Decrease heat (to increase comfort and energy efficiency)
• Eliminate glare on screens or in eyes
• Sleek design and easy-to-use

Solar shades allow you to let in as much – or as little – sunlight into your indoor space as you need and want.

Where to Install Solar Shades

Solar shades can be installed anywhere in your home and outdoor living spaces. However, here are some of the most popular options.

Entertainment Room

Have you been watching a movie and as the sun sets, you find that the sun is casting an irritating glare on your screen? Instead of dealing with it till the sun moves, install solar screens and allow yourself to fully enjoy your movie or other entertainment.

Office

With more people working remotely, the need for a comfortable home office has never been more important. Solar shades can help to alleviate sun glare on your computer screen while keeping your office at a comfortable temperature. With spring and summer temperatures on the rise, finding more ways to control the temperature is essential.

Patio

One of the things we love the most about summer is being able to enjoy our outdoor living spaces. From outdoor kitchens, dining areas, pools, and more, our patios can become a favorite outdoor living space. Solar shades can be installed on your patio area to help control sunlight glare as well as the heat to allow you and any guests to enjoy fun in the sun all summer long. We also offer a solar shade with insect protection – the Elite Retractable Shade & Screen.

Kitchen & Dining Area

Our kitchens and even some dining areas are known to have ample amounts of windows. Though most of us love natural sunlight, the additional heat and the possible damaging effects of the sun to our dining area furniture and decor can be enough to make us love natural sunlight a little less. Solar shades can help keep the heat down, help protect our dining area, and keep guests comfortable no matter how sunny it is outside.

Solar shades can be installed anywhere in your home and in your outdoor living areas.
