Reasons to Install Solar Shades at your Los Angeles Home or Business

Custom solar shades provide a wide range of benefits to home and business owners alike. In this blog entry, the Los Angeles solar shade installation team here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will describe the top reasons to install solar shades at your residential or commercial property.

Blocking Solar Rays

Many people search out cooling options rather than window treatments when they live in a sun facing home. Los Angeles Residents however, who deal with nearly constant sun, can benefit from protecting their space from the bright and fading rays of the sun – which can damage furniture, rugs, and carpets – through installation of custom solar shades.

Cost Effectiveness


UV solar shades and curtains are some of the most cost effective window coverings available on the market. They block a great deal of sunlight from inside your home, and drastically help you regulate interior temperatures. Homes with more sunlight will be much hotter, and darker homes will keep more cool. Custom solar shades are affordable initially, and can save you a great deal of cash over time.

Privacy and Light Control

Custom solar shades also provide privacy, as they come in a range of thickness levels. However, they also allow in as much natural lighting as you need – as their customizable thickness levels can be catered to your specific desire for lighting in your property. In large family rooms where windows are nearly always open, you can choose a five or ten percent weave, with wider spaced out threads and more light translucence. In rooms that should be kept darker like movie rooms or bedrooms, we recommend a three or one percent weave, for maximum light control.
