About Solar Shades
Cut the glare and keep the view
Solar screen fabric looks like a fine mesh. It blocks a portion of the sun, softens glare on screens and furniture and keeps the view, which is why solar shades are favorites for big windows, home offices and living rooms.
Pick an openness level to balance view, privacy and glare, then choose color and control. Darker screens preserve view, lighter ones reflect more heat. We bring samples so you can see the difference.

How It Works
What Goes Into Solar Shades
Four parts of the job, each explained so you know what to expect.
View vs glare
Openness Level
A tighter weave cuts more glare and adds daytime privacy. A more open weave keeps more of the view. We help balance both.

Daytime and Night
Solar screens give daytime privacy but become see-through at night when lights are on. Pair with drapery or blackout for evenings.

Before and After
See the Difference
Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.
Photos on this site are illustrative and show typical homes, rooms and windows, not completed Music City Blinds projects. Every window is measured and confirmed with a visit before treatments are made, and fabrics, colors and options depend on the manufacturer. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.
Can people see in at night?
With lights on inside, solar screens can become see-through. We suggest layering for evening privacy.
Do solar shades block heat?
They reduce the sun that enters, which helps rooms feel more comfortable. Results depend on the window and fabric.
Will they fade my furniture?
They reduce some sun exposure, but no shade eliminates all fading.
