If the bright light and harsh glare of the sun has you down but you don't want to lose your view and block all the light, then our light filtering solar shades can help. Get the best of both worlds with the unique solar screen fabrics of our Deluxe Light Filtering Solar Shades that block between 90-99% of incoming light while still letting you see your view outside. Solar screen material is woven in such a way that most UV rays and direct sunlight are blocked and the remaining light is softened throughout the room. Perfect for windows with direct sun and anywhere you want light to be evenly diffused into the room.  Choose from either solid colors or our new organic-look flaxen weave designs.

Get to know this shade:

• Choose the "openness" level of the fabric that works best for you – 1%, 3%, 5% or 10%
• The higher the openness level, the more light will come through and the more view-through you have
• All fabric options provide daytime privacy only (you can see out but others can't see in)

Why you'll love this shade:

• Reduced cooling costs by blocking the heat and UV rays from incoming sunlight, preventing premature fading of furnishings
• Unlike fabric shades that cover the window, you can still see through solar shades during the daytime
• Neutral colors and contemporary look blend well into any decor, or upgrade to one of the flaxen-look designs for a more organic look
• Beaded chain or cordless spring roller lift options at no cost, or upgrade to cordless precision lock or battery-powered motorized lift for convenient operation
• Optional Smart Hub connects motorized shades to home automation systems for extra convenience and programming options
• Greenguard Gold certified for indoor clean air quality with extra low levels of VOCs and other chemicals
• Fire retardant, fragrance free and non-toxic shade material
• Meets all CPSC requirements for child safety

Key considerations:  

• Solar shades do not provide privacy at night (a lit room will be visible from the outside)
• You can use a second window treatment if nighttime privacy is needed
• The fabric width will be up to 1 3/8" narrower than the ordered width in order to accommodate the mounting brackets and control mechanisms at the top of the shade
• This shade connects to home automation systems via Hub-A only. Any Blindster shades that are compatible with Hub-A can be connected to home automation with a single Hub-A device. Shades that are listed with a different version hub cannot be controlled with Hub-A.
