Solar Shades for Windows in Phoenix & the Southeast Valley

Solar shades can help reduce heat gain, glare, and fading by filtering intense sunlight—especially on west- and south-facing windows. They’re a practical choice for everyday comfort and long-term protection for flooring, furniture, and artwork. Want the technical “why” behind heat and efficiency? The U.S. Department of Energy has a solid overview of window coverings and energy savings.

Motorized Solar Shades

For added convenience, we offer motorized solar shades that open and close with a remote, wall switch, or compatible smart system. These are ideal for tall windows, patios, and spaces where you want quick glare control. If you’re pairing shades with other inside-the-home upgrades, you may also like our interior window treatments page.
