Why solar

Daylight and the view, without the glare

Solar fabric works like a screen. It takes the harsh edge off direct sun and keeps heat off the glass, while you still see the yard, the lake, or the street outside.

Know before you buy

Clear views by day, and what changes at night

Solar fabric works like a window screen. In daylight you see out and the glare is gone. After dark, with lights on inside, it’s see-through, so pair solar with a room that doesn’t need night privacy, or choose light filtering or blackout.

Compare light filtering

During the day

See out, lose the glare

You keep the view of the yard or the lake while harsh sun, glare, and heat on the glass are cut down.

At night, lights on

See-through after dark

Like a screen, solar fabric lets people see in once it’s dark outside and bright inside. Best for kitchens, sunrooms, and living spaces.
