Top FAQs
Attention to detail. Every aspect of our Solar Shade production utilizes our 70 years of experience in the industry. From best practices to the best technology, the result is the best Solar Shade available. Only finest components are used in the construction and assembly of your custom Solar Shade. As always, every shade is hung and tested before leaving our workroom.
Yes. Solar Shades are one of the easiest shades to operate. The simple construction and rigorous quality assurance process guarantees even the largest shades can be operated with ease. All of our Solar Shades come standard with a continuous loop chain control which helps keep operation smooth, even and easy.
The percentages of the solar shades refer to the transparency of the weave and the amount of UV rays that are still passing through the shade. For more visibility, recommend a 10% solar shade. This percentage is the most transparent which allows more light to come through, and helps maintain your view. If you want to keep out more light or want more privacy, suggest a 1% or 3%.
Yes. One of the best features of solar shades is that they absorb heat, UV protect and reduce glare - all while maintaining at least partial view intact (dependent upon % of openness you chose). Also, when you pull them up they basically disappear. Unlike other shades that fold when opened, Solar Shades "roll" around a tube and end up blocking very little of the window.
Our solar shades will allow you to maintain a view out of the window during the day and will be private. At night this reverses and people from the outside may have some visibility inside.
This is really dependent on your comfort level. If privacy is a concern, we advise using a more opaque material from our Roller Shades collection.
Yes, to an extent. Solar Shades will absorb heat, provide UV protection and reduce glare all while keeping your view intact! However, solar shades are not an ideal choice for stopping a draft from a leaky window. If a persistent, pesky draft is your problem, consider pairing solar shades with heavy drapes.
Unfortunately the sun hits every window differently and it’s hard to provide a particular degree. Solar Shades will filter some of the light; therefore, they will block out some of the heat.
Again, the sun hits every window differently. If glare is a big issue for the customer suggest a 1% or 3% solar or move to a more opaque Roller Shade material.
Always clean with a low suction, hand held vacuum or dust with a soft, clean cloth or feather duster.
Dealing with Dirt/Stains: We have had great success using a Mr. Clean® magic eraser to spot treat dirt and stains. This is available online, at local home improvement stores or we can send directly to customers via USPS (1-3 days) at no charge. Do to the resilient nature of all Solar materials- a mild soap/water or even a general cleaner (i.e. Windex® or Fantastic®) can be used to clean most dirt/stains.
If the above suggestion does not work- we recommend contacting a local window treatment cleaning specialist who can treat your shade ON-SITE typically without even taking it down. Keep in mind that there are many carpet cleaning services that offer this expertise. If helpful, our Customer Care team is happy to do a local search in an effort to assist you.
REMEMBER: Never immerse your treatment in liquid of any type.It's best to try a cleaning solution/product on a swatch first. Contact help@theshadestore.com or call 800.754.1455 if you need further assistance.
