Designer Luxe Solar Shades

Description

Enhance your home with our versatile Designer Luxe Solar Shades collection, custom designed to reduce solar heat and glare while protecting you and your furnishings from harmful UV rays. These energy-efficient window treatments also lower the need for air conditioning, resulting in savings on your energy bill. 

Choose from a wide selection of weaves & patterns and openness percentages of 1%, 3%, or 5%. Select a higher openness percentage to allow more light to filter into the room and offer a better view to the outside. Select a lower percentage for less incoming light, and less of a view to the outside, but a higher degree of protection against harmful UV rays. For example, solar shades with a 5% openness block 95% of UV rays, while those with a 1% openness block 99% of UV rays. 

What’s more? You also have the option of white-backed fabrics from our Deluxe Collection - perfect for maintaining a consistent, white exterior appearance for contemporary homes or condos. Or opt for silver reflective-backed fabrics from our Designer Collection, the ultimate in energy efficiency - offering even greater UV protection, insulation and energy savings.

Recommendations and Limitations

• Inside mount: 1/8” (+/- 1/8”) total deduction on width taken at factory to ensure a proper fit. Do not attempt to account for deductions by changing measurements on inside mount shades.
• Fabric colour can vary from one dye lot to another. To ensure that all materials are from the same dye lot, please order shades for the same room at the same time.
• Safety Shield operated shades that have both width and lengths larger than 72” include a lift assist mechanism that reduces the effort required to operate the shade.
• 1 1/8” to 1 5/8” total fabric deduction on width taken at factory. Some lift systems require more room on the roller to operate, resulting in a slightly larger light gap on one side. Do not attempt to account for fabric deductions by changing measurements on inside mount shades.
