FAQ
Do they block heat and glare?
Yes. Solar shades significantly reduce solar heat gain, which helps lower your cooling costs during humid North Jersey summers. They are also the top choice for reducing screen glare on computers and TVs. (Setting up a home office? Read our guide on Choosing the Right Shades for Workspaces to learn more about glare control.)
Can I see out at night?
-
No. It is important to remember that solar fabrics function based on light balance. During the day, you have a clear view out while maintaining privacy. However, at night, the effect reverses: if your lights are on inside, people outside can see in. For bedrooms, we recommend adding drapery for total privacy.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes. Solar screen fabrics are durable, moisture-resistant, and antimicrobial. You can easily wipe them down with a damp cloth, making them a perfect choice for “splash zones” like kitchens or high-humidity areas like bathrooms.
