EXTRA HEAT & UV PROTECTION
Solar shades are a modern and functional window solution that allow you to retain your view while reducing glare and sun damage.
Solar shades are specifically designed to filter sunlight and noticeably lower the temperature of any room they’re in. Through blocking harmful UV rays, they also reduce the damage done to furniture, artwork, carpet, hardwood floors, and skin from direct sunlight.

CREATE AN ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME
Solar shades help by increasing UV protection and insulation, which in turn keeps your home or business cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This translates to a dramatic increase in your home’s energy efficiency.
Solar shades come in a range of openness from 1%, 3%, 5% & 10%. While all percentages will provide full privacy during the day, only the 1% solar shade will give you privacy at night when the lights are on, not all 1% created equal so best to check big fabric sample.

frequently asked questions
What are solar shades for windows?
What do solar shade percentages mean?
Do all solar shade percentages provide privacy?
If you wish to achieve higher level of privacy, we recommend tinting your windows. With some fabrics, the 1% is tight enough to provide full privacy at night without any tint, however this is not always the case. If you require 100% privacy at night, then solar shades may not be the best solution. The one exception to this is if you choose the Coulisse 3000 – 1%, which has a tight enough weave to give you full privacy at night without tinting your windows.

Excellent experience with Ilan at 50 Shades. Extremely responsive, great prices, extreme attention to detail regarding measurements and installation. An absolute pleasure to deal with and a job well done!
Craig M
First time hiring a company to install window treatments(shades). Was definitely skeptical about paying someone to do something I could probably have done. However, I am more than happy I did with Fifty Shades as it was a very positive experience. Friendly and professional gentleman who I understand is the owner and installer. Always returned calls promptly and arrived on time to our appointments. The samples he had available were beautiful but I went with something economical for my apartment rental. Installation was done quickly and has certainly turned out looking very clean. I would use him again in the future. Thanks for the good job.
