SOLAR SHADES

Being outside on a warm, sunny day is an enjoyable experience, but when you want to escape the heat, you head inside. Window treatments are an easy way to keep sunlight out of your home, but they can also block your view of the outdoors. When you want to reduce natural light entering your home without completely hindering your view, solar shades are the way to go. Orlys Interiors carries high-end solar shades by Graber®, and we’re excited to share their benefits with you.

Benefits of Solar Shades

Solar shades are a popular window treatment for several reasons. The top benefits of adding these shades to your home include:

1. The simple design of solar roller shades is easy to incorporate into any decor style. Solar shades fit neatly within the window frame, making them a perfect choice for rooms where you want your window coverings to stay out of the spotlight. 
2. Did you know that a significant portion of your home’s energy cost is the result of unwanted air heat entering or escaping through windows? Graber® solar shades can decrease your energy bill by 15% or more. 
3. It’s difficult to watch TV or work on a computer with a massive glare on the screen. The reduction of glare provided by solar window shades increases your comfort and productivity. 
4. Solar roller shades perform double duty when it comes to privacy and light control. You can take comfort in knowing you have some daytime privacy without having to sacrifice natural light. 
   

Choosing an Openness for Your Solar Shades

The openness or transparency of solar window shades refers to how tightly the fabric is woven. A lower openness blocks more heat and light but provides less of a view of the outdoors. If you like to have a broader view you can opt for a higher opacity that still blocks a reasonable amount of heat and glare. Graber® solar window shades are available in four openness factors - 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%. One of our window treatment professionals can help you choose the openness that’s right for your needs.

Graber Lightweaves® Solar Shades

Graber® Lightweaves® Solar Shades are available in more than 250 color and fabric options, including florals, geometric patterns, stripes, and textures. The clean lines and sleek design of solar roller shades make them an ideal solution for any aesthetic. You can leave your solar shades as they are, or layer them with drapery for an elegant look that enhances both your level of privacy and control of the sunlight.

Solar Shades Optional Add-Ons

Graber® solar shades are a gorgeous addition to your windows on their own, but several optional add-ons can give your shades a perfect finishing touch.

• Blackout channels: These discreet channels line the sides and bottom of your solar roller shades to prevent gaps for light to sneak through. 
• Fabric-wrapped hem bar: A fabric-wrapped hem bar complete with color-coordinated end caps give your solar shades a polished appearance. 
• Cassette valance: A fabric-covered top treatment that conceals the roller headrail at the top of the shade. 
• Contour valence: Rounded for contemporary appeal, this fabric-wrapped valance is the ideal touch for a refined aesthetic.
