The Top Shade for the Texas Sun, Block Heat and UV, Keep Your View
Here is the Austin problem: on a long, hot afternoon the sun pours heat and glare straight through the glass, driving up cooling bills and fading your floors and furniture, especially on big view windows. Most shades either block the heat or keep the view, not both.
Solar shades are the answer. Their spectrally selective fabric rejects a large share of the sun’s heat and blocks up to 99% of UV before it enters, while the open weave preserves your outward view and natural light. Rooms stay cooler, cooling costs drop, and your interiors are protected from fading. Choose an openness factor for more view or more privacy, in light or dark fabrics, cordless or motorized. We install each one for a millimeter-perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Shades in Austin
Do solar shades really keep my house cooler?
Yes. Spectrally selective solar-shade fabric rejects a large share of the sun’s heat before it enters the room, which keeps interiors cooler in the Texas summer and helps lower cooling bills. The tighter the weave, the more heat and glare it stops.
Pairing solar shades with exterior screens on the sunniest windows adds even more heat control.
Will solar shades block my view?
No. Solar shades use an open weave that preserves your outward view and daylight while cutting heat, glare, and UV. You choose an openness factor to balance view and privacy; a tighter weave gives more privacy, a more open weave gives more view.
How much UV do solar shades block?
Solar shades block up to 99% of UV rays, depending on the fabric and openness factor. That protects hardwood floors, rugs, and furniture from the fading that the strong Austin sun causes, especially on large view windows.
Can solar shades be motorized?
Yes. Solar shades are motorization-ready, so you can raise and lower them by voice, app, or schedule, which is ideal for tall, hard-to-reach view windows. We set up the automation during installation.
