solar shades

Sun-blocking window covers

Solar shades are window coverings designed to block sunlight while preserving outward visibility.

Unlike traditional blinds or curtains, they use a mesh-like fabric that reduces glare and heat without completely darkening a room.

The weave density varies—tighter weaves block more light but reduce the view.

We installed solar shades to cut the afternoon glare on the TV.
