What are Solar Shades?
Hunter Douglas offers a complete selection of blinds, shades, and shutters. You may be familiar with some of their other products, but have you heard of solar shades? This sleek and innovative window covering offers UV protection in a stylish package.

Today, our team at Georgia Blinds & Interiors is excited to share some of the benefits that solar shades can offer. Whether you desire solar shades for UV protection or light filtering roller shades to help manage glare, our team of window treatment experts is here to help.
Benefits of Solar Shades
Hunter Douglas solar shades offer thorough UV protection and stop the danger before it breaks in. With extensive fabric and finishing options, you’d never know such a stylish window covering held such a secret power.
While many other light-blocking window treatments completely black out light, solar shades filter light so you can enjoy the sunshine without worrying about its effects. In addition to saving your skin, solar shades prevent UV rays from fading your furniture, flooring, and artwork by softening and diffusing harsh light beams. Solar shades are a worthwhile investment in your home and your health.
Light Filtering Roller Shades
Solar shades are a specific type of roller shade. They offer all of the same benefits plus more. Crafted to protect your home, solar shades use special fabrics that block the sun’s damaging UV rays from harming your skin, furnishings, flooring, and artwork.
One of our favorite light filtering shades is Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades. These custom window shades are different from traditional roller shades in that they feature layered sheer and solid fabric bands for a unique look that still masterfully manages light and UV rays coming through your windows.
Why Do You Need Solar Protection?
We all know about the sun’s effect on unprotected skin. Exposure to high ultraviolet light, or UV, can cause sunburns, increase signs of aging, and even lead to skin cancer and other health conditions. So, you take proper care of your skin by applying sunscreen and staying in the shade on sunny days. Is that enough?
Even indoors, your body is still vulnerable to the lasting impacts of UV rays. Most windows offer little to no light filtration, doing nothing to stop harsh sun rays from entering our homes. Solar shades change all this by helping to block these harmful rays.
