The temperatures in Jacksonville average around 80 or 90 degrees no matter the time of year, so it is important to do what you can to keep your home cool. Many homeowners turn to curtains or blinds but just aren't satisfied with the results.



If you are looking for something sleek and easy-to-install, then you may want to consider solar shades. Read on for everything you need to know about this popular window treatment option.

What Are Solar Shades?

Solar window shades are roller shades made of fabric that is woven tight enough to protect your home from sunlight while also allowing you to see out of them. They come in many different colors and fabric openness options depending on your specific wants and needs.

How Can Solar Shades Benefit Your Home?

If you are on the fence about solar shades, then let us help you make your decision. Here are just a few of the biggest benefits of solar shades.

Reduces Energy Costs

Who doesn't want to save on energy bills? Solar energy shades can greatly reduce your energy bills by keeping sunlight out during warmer days and keeping the heat in on cooler days. This will allow your heating and cooling system to work less and, in turn, reduce your energy costs.

Lets In Natural Light

Just because your shades are down, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice the natural sunlight. In fact, you should make it a priority to absorb natural light every day. Sunlight can help to boost vitamin D levels, ward off seasonal depression, and improve sleep.


If you choose a solar shade with more openness, then you can still provide shade for your home while also letting in that natural light your body needs.

Easy to Use

No more messing around with hard-to-open curtains or blinds. Solar roller shades are a breeze to move up and down. They both open and close in one singular motion.


You may also choose to purchase motorized solar shades, which allow you to open and close them at the click of a button. Motorizing your shades can make them easier to open and close in hard-to-reach places such as upper windows and skylights.

Block UV Rays

UV protection is one of the biggest benefits of solar shades. UV rays are incredibly harmful to the skin, so putting a barrier between you and the sun is never a bad idea. Solar shades work to block out harmful UV rays while still allowing you to lighten up your home and enjoy the view.

Protects Your Furniture

Solar shades can also protect your furniture from these harmful rays. Over time, the sun can damage furniture and fade bright colors over time. It can also lead to permanent discoloration of wood and other surfaces.


Solar shades are made with antimicrobial and flame-resistant materials that can protect your furniture, floors, and walls from damage or discoloration. This can also help to boost your home's value if you decide to sell one day. If you keep your home in good condition, then you can sell it for a higher price.

Reduces Glare

There's nothing more annoying than trying to work on your computer or watch TV and not being able to see the screen due to glare from the sun. Solar shades can allow you to minimize this glare without having to make your home completely dark.

Increases Privacy

Nobody wants strangers looking into their home during the day or night. This is especially a problem if you live on the first floor of an apartment building or near a busy road or sidewalk. Solar shades allow you to let light in while keeping your windows covered and your privacy protected. 

Sleek Look

Many customers' favorite part of solar shades is how aesthetically pleasing they are. Solar roller shades come in many different colors, allowing you to match them to the design of your home. They have an elegant, clean look, making them easy to match with any interior design scheme. 

Choosing Your Shades

Solar Shade Window Tint offers a variety of options for your solar shades. When choosing your shades, it is important to take into consideration both how you want them to look and what you want them to do.


The first thing you need to do is choose your fabric color. Both dark and light fabrics are incredible, but light colors do a better job to block heat, while darker colors are better for reducing glare. 


You will also want to take into account the fabric openness. The "openness factor" of your shades determines how much light passes through and how much heat is reflected away. We offer fabrics with a 1% to 14% openness factor.


If daytime privacy is extremely important to you, then we recommend a 1% to 3% open fabric. Some customers choose a lower openness factor for more private rooms such as bedrooms and bathrooms.

Great for Commercial Use Too

If you aren't ready to stop with your home, we also offer commercial solar shades. Solar shades in the workplace have been proven to help you save money while keeping your employees comfortable. This comfort helps to keep your workers motivated and productive.
