Custom solar shades have become popular window treatment options because they are both functional and stylish. Wouldn’t you like to save your money and increase the comfort of your home? Below are a few of the advantages solar shades offer.

Top Advantages of Custom Solar Shades

1. Maintain Cool Temperatures

Professionals make solar shades out of a unique mesh material designed to reflect sunlight. They block and absorb the heat rather than let it penetrate and warm the interior of your home. Indoor temperatures stay much cooler as a result, which means you’ll save money on your air-conditioning bill in the summertime.

2. Block Harmful Ultraviolet Rays

In addition to being harmful to the skin, the sun’s powerful ultraviolet rays can fade bright furnishings and discolor carpeting and wood. Custom solar shades shield your home’s interior from these damaging UV rays while still allowing sunlight to stream into the room. 

3. Fit Windows Perfectly

Custom solar shades are tailored to fit your home’s windows. Specially fitted styles can be especially helpful if you live in an old house with windows that are oddly shaped, or if you have skylights or floor-to-ceiling windows. Solar shades also come in a wide range of designs, so it’s easy to create a treatment that matches your home’s décor.
