Keep the view
Solar Shades
Woven mesh that cuts glare and heat while you can still see straight through it. Openness runs from 1% to 14% — the tighter the weave, the more privacy and the less view.
Best for: Living rooms with a view, home offices, west-facing glass
- Cuts up to 90% of UV
- Keeps rooms measurably cooler in summer
- 1%, 3%, 5%, 10% and 14% openness
- Pairs well with drapery over the top
from $210 per window
